The final true east coast round of AMA Pro Motocross was held at the famed Budds Creek facility just south of Washington D.C. After this it’s just Ironman then Pala again, then the season is a wrap.
Entering Saturday, just 10 riders in the history of Monster Energy Supercross had won multiple Premier Class Championships. That list is a whos-who in the sport, with names like Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath, James Stewart, Chad Reed, Jeff Stanton, etc.
Let’s rewind back to mid-July to start things off. Jeffery Herlings at his home Grand Prix in the Netherlands had Ivo Monticelli land on his shoulder right off the start.
When we last left James Stewart in the summer of 2012, he had just made the switch to Yoshimura Suzuki on the heels of a nasty breakup with JGR Yamaha. Heading into 2013, he would begin what was ultimately the final stretch of his storied career, while also entering the gear game with the Seven Brand. That is where the finale of this four-part series begins, at long last.
When we left off on James Stewart, he had just won his second and final AMA National Motocross championship, going an undefeated 24-0 post-ACL surgery.
Where we last left off on James Stewart, he had just completed what is widely regarded as the greatest 125cc/250cc career of all time. Moving to the 250cc/450c class would bring a whole new cast of riders to compete with. In part two of this retrospective cover from the beginning of Stewart’s Premier Class career in 2005 to his split from Kawasaki at the end of 2008.
68 Career total Supercross wins, 48 total Motocross wins, 7 Time Loretta Lynn’s Amateur National Motocross Champion, 2-time Motocross Des Nations Champion, 3-time National Motocross Champion, 2-time Supercross Champion of The World. The statistics are only the tip of the iceberg when you talk about James Stewart, an African American who entered a largely white sport and dominated every possible level from his amateur days and into his 14-year professional career. Here we look back at the career of the single most dominant African American motorsports athlete of all time, The Fastest Man on The Planet James “Bubba” Stewart.
