The 50th anniversary season of AMA Pro Motocross was one for the books. Eli Tomac and Chase Sexton, arguably the two best Motocross riders anywhere on the planet, were separated by just one point going into the season finale in Pala, California.
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.
Major news dropped from across the pond on Tuesday, as UK motorcycle powerhouse Triumph announced they will be entering the realms of Motocross and Enduro.
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.
