- The winningest rider in Pontiac history is Bob “Hurricane” Hannah, who put his Yamaha atop the podium a record nine times between 1977 and 1984.
-The second-winningest rider in Pontiac is Jeremy McGrath, who got six of his 72 250cc SX wins at the old home of the Detroit Lions in Michigan.
- A total of nine riders have won two or more consecutive races in the 250cc class in Pontiac, and they include:
Bob Hannah (1977-’79) – 6 consecutive wins
Donnie Hansen (1982) – 2 wins
David Bailey (1986) – 2 wins
Rick Johnson (1988) – 2 wins
Jean-Michel Bayle (1990-’91) – 2 wins
Damon Bradshaw (1991-’92) – 3 wins
Ezra Lusk (1997-’98) – 2 wins
Jeremy McGrath (1999-’00) – 3 wins
Chad Reed (2003-’05) – 3 wins
|
Michigan’s Brian Swink won the 125cc main three times (once in ’91 and twice in ’92) and Hudsonville, MI’s Todd DeHoop won the 125cc main in 1988 as a Suzuki support rider.
Switching gears a bit, what would the Amp’d Mobile Supercross Series look like if the top three in points didn’t exist? Would the series get any closer than it is now? Well, Racer X Online reader Brian Friederich took out the top three and adjusted the points accordingly to see what it would look like. It’s a shock to see Ivan with such a huge lead!
