If you are like me, this two-week break has derailed your normal
schedule as well. We have crowned an East coast champ, but the West
coast racing seems so long ago. Grant Langston actually had enough time
to move to Florida during the break. That is just too long! With only
11 points separating the top 3, it must be hell for those guys to play
out every scenario in their minds a million times. They are already
well into outdoor testing but have to put in the laps on the SX track
too while awaiting those pesky last two races. Either way, there is
enough talent on both coasts to ensure a great showdown at the Vegas
Shootout.
Roger Decoster, RC, and Team Suzuki are poised to add another
championship to their mantle but that is not to say it’s been an easy
year. There have been the FuelGate controversy and dealing with a
healthy and mature James Stewart among other things. As the team
prepares for the outdoors during the break, we will check in with The
Man himself and hear his take on the year thus far. Davi Millsaps has
already wrapped up his championship and has been in California testing
the 450 for his debut in Dallas. I’m sure Honda will be carefully
watching their prodigy to make a final decision about whether Davi will
stay on a 450 outdoors. David Pingree has had a very busy few weeks. It
was announced that he will be announcing the outdoors for TV this year
and raced his first Supermoto race of the year last weekend. Oh yeah,
he also passed some kidney stones and has plenty to say about that
ordeal as well so it should be an entertaining interview. Brittney
George has come a long way since being one of many to apply for the
Miss Supercross gig last year. She not only has been doing well on the
podium and at the races but had the opportunity to be the floor
announcer while Erin Bates stepped up during Krista Vodas’ absence. She
is quickly learning the ropes while working on her college degree in
between race weekends and hopes to work in the sport she loves so much
after graduating. She is sweet, beautiful, and smart and since we are
none of those things we thought having her on would somehow make us
look better. Monster Energy Drink’s Wes "Toast" Corbett is one of the
most colorful characters in the pits. He is the official "Motorhome
driver /Drink guy at the podium/ Product Promoter / and Wise ass, and
will join us tonight for some good old bench racing.
Wonder Warthog racing will have welcome on Butler Brother’s Cole
Siebler and GPS Racing’s Chris Blose on the Most Improved Privateers
from Houston. They will both receive $1,000 for their WWR / Decal Works
MIP honors.
