Quotes San Diego 2-11-06
Chad Reed:
Since I’ve been a 250 rider I haven’t lost until tonight. But, all good
things go away. I was looking forward to this weekend and trying to get
a win.
Trying to win four in a row didn’t really bother me to much. I really
just wanted to get a win and get up on the podium with these guys.
I feel like I rode a strong race, it just wasn’t as strong as these two.
When I make mistakes, I’m taking too long to recover. Ricky and James
are hitting their marks all the time and recovering real quickly and
that’s something that I need to work on.
Ricky and James are riding real well. They have definitely stepped it
up a notch. It’s just my turn to step it up as well. I’m really looking
forward to the remainder of the racing season. I just want to get out
there and make it a three way race and make it fun.
I like the east coast tracks; I enjoy riding the dirt and the layouts a little better. No excuses. That’s just what I prefer.
This is my third best start of the year. I just want to get out there.
That’s the main thing right now. It’s frustrating to know that I have
what it takes to win. I’m just not getting it done right now. So, I
just got to step it up.
I want to win so bad that I’m trying to hard. I have to work on that. I
think going back east is going to help out a little bit.
Ricky Carmichael:
I have no regrets, I rode my butt off. I rode as hard as I could and
the track was a little slick tonight. I rode in control. I probably
could have ridden a little harder. I feel I rode some consistent laps.
I put in a good fight.
It was a great race. James was behind me the whole time. I’m sure he
was back there checking it out and seeing what was going on or hoping
for a mistake. I just rode my race, James put a good clean pass on me
and the rest is history.
I’m happy with the way I rode. James got the best of me tonight. I did
all that I could do and if I could do the race over I would do the
exact same thing.
It was a really fun race for us, I know the crowd liked it and that’s what it’s all about.
I think it was a solid ride and I’m happy to be up here on the box.
I gotta give it to James; he really rode a clean race.
James Stewart:
I didn’t really want to go for the whole shot. Last week, I went for it
and I about slid across the white line. I just got in and settled
behind Ricky. I had a good pace going and I kept a good eye on Chad to
see if he was closing up.
We had a good pace going and there were a few times I screwed up. One
lap I didn’t jump over the whoop; I rolled over it instead and then one
lap Kyle Lewis almost took me out.
I saw where Ricky was fast, he was faster right after the section I passed him.
I was better coming down the start and around the corner and was able
to make the pass with only two laps left and ended up getting it.
I was actually going to try and pass Ricky right after the start. I
felt that I had a better line towards the inside and was going to try
and square him up. So, I just tried to pick a good place where it would
be a clean pass, I didn’t want to get in contact. I wanted a clean
race.
It’s been fun for me. It’s definitely been a new challenge in my life. I just turned twenty. So, I’m still learning a lot.
I’m looking forward to the east coast races.
I just wanted to make a pass, where I felt it would stick. If I made
the pass to early, there was a good chance he would just get around me.
He had good sections and I had good sections.
