Parity is a term that doesn't necessarily sound like a good thing, unless you're talking about the NFL, where every team seems to have the ability to make a playoff run, or Monster Energy Supercross. After the dominant reigns of first Jeremy McGrath and then later Ricky Carmichael, fans no longer arrive at stadiums fairly sure of who is going to win, as now any one of four guys appear to have an equal shot at each win. And that's a good thing.
Last night James Stewart became the fourth winner—and on the fourth different brand—in as many weeks. He did it by despite the tragic news of the death of his Joe Gibbs Racing/Toyota Yamaha mechanic Mark “Tex” Adams, and also despite the growing number of critics who were guessing that Stewart's time at the “fastest man on the planet” may have passed. He also reeled in his old nemesis Chad Reed and took the lead from him, even while being pressured by defending series champion Ryan Villopoto. The other winner so far, Red Bull KTM's Ryan Dungey, was not a factor for the race win last night in Oakland, but he does retain a share of the series points lead with Reed.
Last week Dungey shared the red plate with Villopoto. This weekend he'll share it with Reed.

But fans hoping that we will see a fifth winner in as many weeks come Anaheim 2 may be disappointed. These four riders—Reed, Dungey, Villopoto and Stewart—are a level above everyone else right now. While we've seen some good rides by the likes of Jake Weimer, Andrew Short, Justin Brayton and Kevin Windham, only Weimer has managed to make a podium along with the Big Four. Muscle Milk Honda's Trey Canard might have been able to attach himself to the leaders, but his crash with Ryan Morais last weekend after gathering a Tuff Block up with his bike means the likely end to his season. (For what it's worth, Feld Motorsports has begun strapping the bottom of the barrier covers down in the hopes such accidents will be less likely to happen in the future.)
The parity we're seeing now likely won't last all season, as one of these men could get on a hot streak that carries them away from the others. And injury is always a possibility at this level of the sport. But we've had through the month of January has been extremely entertaining, and here's hoping it lasts all the way through Las Vegas.

soooooooo funny how the haters are hiding this week....I love to see what ther are going to say.
Nobody is hiding from nobody. Most of the Stewtards were wanting to hear comments from the others BEFORE the race was even broadcast. They couldnt wait to gloat and act like children. That is why they are called Stewtards. Stewie ran a good and smart race. RV1 rode like he was scared. And Reed crossed in front of RV on the face of a triple, not only dangerous, but that is the same move Stewie did to Reed in Jacksonville that got Reed ticked of at Stewie, now he does the same thing. Fun season though, 4 winners in 4 races, and all on different brands.
nobody is hiding, he won a race. big deal. nobody said he'd never win another one. He isn't going to win them all ( and hasn't )
CBS went from zero to HERO in one week - both heats and the main without a break - whoever made the change happen - i salute you - well done
good ride james
Great ride James! ...and thanks to CBS for not only showing the race this week, but doing a fine job of it as well!
What are you guys talking about?! CBS sucks!
The race was completely pre-empted in my area and I didn't even get to see it! It was pre-empted last week as well, but at least they had the decency to air it at 2:30am the next morning. This time, nothing, nadda, zip!!!
The vermin at CBS are unworthy to carry a great sport like supercross.
Glad that I got to see golf instead of supercross. Nice work CompleteBullSh*t.
Ditto, I haven't see anyone hiding either. James won and that is great for him! I am sure he will stay in the mix for the next 13 races. But if he and Reed are going to mix it up between themselves like last year, the smart guy riding in 3rd will win the championship, just like last year.

The people making the name "Stewtards" are the real children ..... No one is gloating like you are hating .... Dumbass !!!!
DC, thanks for starting this piece with the word 'parity'. It gives me the giggles when some of these posters use the word 'parody' instead.
Lime_Fish......sorry to burst your bubble but read the first 2 - 3 comments from literally EVERY thread posted today. Every single one of them today starts with a love blind JS fan talking smack haha. So yes, there is most definately gloating. And when it is not gloating it is excuses, that's not even an opinion, all you have to do is skim these threads each week to know that.
Of course the haters are hiding. The number of comments goes WAY down when James wins. That's just math. It's unfortunate that many people refuse to give him the props he is due. I don't think that will change, because it's not anything he's done or done wrong. It's about them - and, well, we all know why. And it's a shame.
And you people who are complaining about pre-empted coverage need to call your local station. That is not CBS's call. In fact, they sometimes charge affiliates a fee for not showing their programming in the designated time.
it's not james, it's james "fans" that are so pathetic. big difference.
So, Jimmyc261, you were the first to post on this article. In a sport we are all so passionate about, that is the most mature, intelligent thing you could come up with to sit down and type?
It is kind of of sad that my dvr shows 2hrs of race recording and then it ends being some testosterone broad name Bachman and a guy who combs his hair from one side of his head to the other. Oh ya Tump! Sad that they took up 2 hrs of time instead of showing the race. At least I get to watch the lites.
coining the phrase CBS= Complete Bull Shit
I don't like James, in fact I guess I do hate him, but that doesn't mean I won't give credit where credit is due. He rode a great race and I congratulate him. I don't understand why people bash riders, I guess I do tend to be biased against Stewart and Reed because I hate them both. But every rider out there is trying hard and honestly I still think RV has the best chance at this championship but we will see, it could be JS,RD or CR .... maybe JW? Who knows.
It is not James it is the bike was the reason he won ! Oh wait we only blaime the bike when hes out of shape and not praticed and he hits the dirt.
@Tpowell, so what you're saying is if we don't like Stewart we're racist? you're an ass.
Hate is a strong word,stick with don't like.I bet you woud not say that to thier face.
best race of the year.....so far ..strait up good racing
the track was bad azz...
Don't really want to get involved with this drivel on here, but a couple things. As i still am a fan of JS(and Dunge) i have to say that James did ride a hell of a race last night. They point out in this story that he got in to the lead while being sandwiched between the new FMOTP and a very capable Chad Reed. Keeping your position and making the pass while being heavily pressured by the new FMOTP was rather impressive to me...i guess that still makes me one of them "stew" things, but i'm ok with it!! Lime_fish, don't let RetardX tell ya he burst yer bubble...he did nothing of the sort...he's just doing what he always does when he's not taking jabs at James, he's goin' after James supposedly rabid fans....just blow him off, well you know what i mean!! ha! Yes folks, please take out your aggressions on your LOCAL CBS affiliate....THEY are the ones to blame, and CBS's coverage was leaps and bounds better today than it has been to date !! I think it is funny when somebody says that "it's not James, it's James fans"!! Whatever!! C'mon RD5, pick it back up man...ya gotta get a start and run up front with these guys!! Can't wait to see who the first two-time winner will be this season at A3 next weekend!! Ok, so it turns out i dabbled in the drivel a little bit anyway , but i'm working on it!! See ya next weekend fellas!!

And "stewtards" is exactly what ????? Love ????
Okay, I will use ''strongly dislike''...happy now?
yes, RV did ride like he was scared. I don't understand why RV or RD aren't aggressive when it comes to Stewart. Reed is the only (well, and Tedesco) to ever be aggressive with Stewart. RV had a couple of chances to do like Stewart and go on the inside on someone and block them. If RV could have got onto Jame's head a little, we might not see what I'm afraid is about to happen, Stewart reeling off 5 or 6 wins which I said he would do at the beginning of the season. Not wanting to see it at all, but just think it could happen.
did penguin_bob just say he "hates" james stewart? well i'll be darned, somebody finally had the ballz to come out and say it. i guess the term haters isn't inappropriate after all.....all this time people have been saying that being called a hater was wrong, i guess it's not. anybody else wanna come clean? children!
....i guess he corrected it at the same time i was posting....good boy penguin!! i take back everything i sa.........nah never mind!!
No, the "Stewart haters" are not hiding. The fact is there are very few "Stewart haters"; it’s his fans nobody likes. They’re like Chihuahua’s snarling at the window of a parked car; who can resist poking at them?
Heh, I don't mind saying I hate him, I respect him and I can admit that he is fast, doesn't mean I have to like him though.
the cbs coverage i thought sucked again,the sound was sh!t both races,the noise from the fans and the stadium announcer drowned out the broadcast announcers,,sooo annoying i hit mute,,nobody realized it after last weeks cbs showing? or todays??,,sounded like a half assed last min thrown together broadcast
Definition of clueless "past and present tense"
"past" RD5 was a paper champion
"present" Stewarts 17.....ah excuse me...... 12 point gap is insurmountable

Did anybody see the same race I did? RV closed on JS and if their would have been another lap could have blown by him with ease. In the main RV looked liked a lion playing with a wounded deer for about 7 or eight laps, then just rode around. With so much money in the sport today could it fixed like boxing? LOOKED VERRY FISHY TO ME.
I think we should let the JS fans gloat, I feel sorry for them. Do you realize how long its been since they have been able to ? Its funny the posts are the longest they have been all year and some are saying we are quiet? I thought it was a great race and makes this season better. Js is up to 4th now and CR is riding better than I expected. I say no one wins more than 5 this year, and thats if they all stay healthy. I hope JS will man up and race full time again, but I will believe it when I see it. He's skipped 3 years of outdoors now? And I really hope no one else gets hurt, we've had more than enough this year already.
every tuff block I saw knocked over was NOT strapped on and that pisses me off !
WOW 4 races in and we have 4 different winners. Points are tight and the racing is great. I have no idea who will win next week and that is awesome. The way it should be!! Now JS7 is finaly a factor. Gonna get good.
My comment for the oakland race is on RV2. He looked to be the fastest early and then noticabbly backed it down a second a lap. A couple close runs with Reed and lapped traffic was the factor. The decision to ride "careful" on a slick technical track was a good one. To try and gain 2 more points at a risk of going down and loosing 10 is not a good gamble.. RV2 is starting to learn he doesnt have to kill it every round and let the race come to him. This is scarry, If he can settle for a third here and there and not crash out he will defend his title.
I know davidl...its a joke that FELD can't strap on the frickin tough-blocks, I mean how hard would that be right? Here's another thing about the tuff-blocks that I haven't heard anyone talk about yet...why don't they leave a foot or two gap between the blocks instead of making the rider wedge between them every time? Look at what happened with that 250 rider that couldn't find a way out so he had to knock a tuff block onto the track and then the next rider ate shi*. It's a joke to see how many problems these tuff-blocks cause and yet the pathetic FELD motorsports can't fix it after all these years....just wonder how many more people will have to get injured before they change the way they do things.
Some of you nailed it. It's the Stewart fans! I can't recall anyone that didn't think he'd win again? Think most of us were just sick of the excuses. He has now won a race guys. Congrats to all of you but please note he won it on that pos yamaha! That is officially one excuse you can't go back to. He explicitly said he was ' just riding around out there '. Can't do that with a bad bike! Now if he gets another runny nose then all bets are off!
Haha. Tn71!!!! I really hope you were kidding! I think the bush league move Reed pulled on RV at the face of the triple starled him. Definitely cost him a lot of time and probably got him thinking big picture.
You guys know that no matter what, is that CBS pulls in more viewers to SX than SPEED does. It may or not be great footage (this weeks was really good) but truth is if all the races were on CBS and not SPEED our sport would be as big as Car Racing, hockey etc. I mean I wish I could talk to random people about SX, like people talk to each other about football or NASCAR, but it's not popular enough. CBS will help it grow, more bike sales, more industry money, more riders on factory bikes. All makes for better racing.
We have the protagonists: RC, RD, TC, CR, JW
And we have the antagonist: JS, and ?? Well, JS
Thanks penguin bob I'm sure you don't REALLY hate anybody.
For what it's worth I was really impressed with the CBS coverage. They showed what mattered. Both heats and the key players in the main. Give credit where it's due. Yea we'd live to have 3 hrs live every week but it's come a long way
That's no fare Open Class,you know the JS fans don't understand such things. lol
So many complainers on here. Track looked really good this week, had a great flow to it. Coverage was also much better this week. Also, feel bad for the guys who got shafted on or part of the race coverage but like mentioned previously CBS affiliates have contracts and prior commitment that they can't break sometimes. I'd be pissed too, but check on YouTube, it will be up there.
And JS does receive a lot of "hate" on here. I am astonished people who claim to be sx fans would openly admit they hate someone who makes our sport so entertaining. Really something seriously wrong with you. Being someone who really roots only for good racing and a different winner every weekend, JS gets really bagged on way too much and aout the most shrivilous crap. They have had some of the least testing time of any team, and if he says they didn't have the correct setup he's a whiner making excuses. Reed or RV (who has now been on the 2012 since last summer) have said they didn't have the correct setup for some of the first tracks and no one says a thing. JS says a comment aout the track design and he's complaining, Reed or RV says the same thing and again ot a peep. I also wish people would stop using the term FMOTP, has to be the dumbest nickname ever given. (besides Chupacobra)
Hoping the restof the year is as exciting and competitive asnitsnbeen so far. o matter who you are rooting for we all want good close, exciting racing. Anyone of these guys can go on a streak if they get some real confidence, an that can change very quickly. Heres hoping the top 4 can get a top 5 start each week and put on a show (are you reading this RD)? Starts killed him last year and he looked sliding is heat race, but starting 10th a podium will be a hard thing to do, unless other riders make mistakes.
And for tn721, fixed, really?! Because RV didn't win? Cmon. it's called riding smart. He looked like he put on a charge, track was getting pretty rutted, looks like he settled for 3rd not wanting to push to hard and make a mistake. All goes back to you can't win a championship in one race, but you can definitely lose it. JS looked like he really got much more comfortable at the 2nd half of the race. I'm happy for hm and his team.
Btw I have read comments on here stating JS never wins another race. Read the same thing about RD also on more than one occasion. Same for CR for that matter. People just like to talk out of their a$$es sometimes.
I am glad that James won. But I have to say that I am not a fan. Last year he had promised to show up at a Yamaha shop in Vegas and everybody was there but James never showed up and the Yamaha rep called him and he said he did not want to come even though he made the commitment. The parking lot of people and the dealership became anti- James fans right there ! So I hope he has seen that the way that he acted the last few years nobody would like him no matter how much he won.
solid point motohead279, there have been so many guaranties and not one has held true yet.
Not a fan of Stewie, But I'm extremely happy that he won it for "Tex".
My local CBS affiliate ran the program, (thanks KIRO TV Seattle), and thought the CBS show was much better this week. They showed both heats and when the checkered flag flew for the second heat they were 17 ½ minutes into the program. That left 12 ½ minute for commercials and the Honda 200th win feature before the final started at the 30 min mark.
To the people producing the show that gets delivered to CBS, keep it up! Don’t go back to that BS of showing only one heat and only highlights of the other heat. You made some good improvements this week. Keep it up!
And now for all you guys, whose local CBS stations did not show the Supercross program, let them have it!
CBS coverage still sucks but was better this week. Tomac is on a level of his own. And how about a factory Ride for DAVALos. Davalos and alessi are the most improved riders. Hope styla is ok.
oh yea and I think RV was fastest but Reed kinda scared him. RV is intimidated by Reedy and he admitted it. Hopefully he dont let JS or reedy get in his head and he will be fine. But then again in SX,the fastest man doesnt always win. We have seen that with JS& RV. For the record, JS7 HAS MOST HEAT RACE WINS OF ALL TIME!!!!!
CBS did such a better job this weekend. Hats off to that. And the racing was solid. Not much of a Stewart fan but I'm glad to see him up front again, especially given the circumstances of this week. Plus, last night tightened up the points lead. Btw, anyone else can't help but laugh when they hear people talk like "where are all the haters?? Haters going to hate. Hatorade". I can't help but laugh as I picture the person behind the keyboard dressed like Vanilla Ice living in their mothers basement as they continue to perfect their badboy yet misunderstood image.
I can't believe what i am reading today. I have been seeing some peoples posts on here for quite some time. Some I respect and give good opinions. Today those people are writing stuff like. "RV should of won, but got spooked by cr22 and decided it was safer to take third... but he was the quickest". "Chad pulled a dangerous move on RV over a triple.". First of all. RV gives his third place trophies to his mechanic ffs. There is never a time he is out there not trying to win. And to say he was the fastest but decided to play it safe is crazy. Yes he had a fast lap time. 1 lap. Yes his first half the race was great. But he failed. Hell i was suprised as any to see it happen. But it did get over it. As for chad Dangerously crossing over the jump. I literally watched the race waiting to see it. I seen it. I seen RV double. But his bike didn't go 90 degree's in the air aiming for his head. He came out of the corner blocking his line. Like riders do every single supercross race. I understand the outcome made people sad. For some reason it put RV off for the rest of the race. But common. Accept JS7 won. Accept RV2 lost. Accept chad was in the middle. Move on. Next round. More excuses coming from the fans, (same fans that hate other riders making excuses) than the riders.
If ya didn't think J/S would win a few of these,....yer an idiot. ;) I thought I detected around lap 9=10 some arm pump, (stiff ridin) then he seemed to shake it off, (tough to do) and gap a bit. Hats off to J/S great ride, and great pois on the podium I liked it.
Also Poto says in an interview: "our lines were starting to come together and I just wasn't willing to risk it."
Bit of a difference over the lines actually coming together. Anyway On with the next one. Tomac is on rails, and 450's is proving to be an unbelievable series.
Poor Deano
JS7 is a spoiler, no more than that. He won't be up there at season end. Let's just hope the AMA penalize the penalizable. Go back to the 'show'. Bring on the abuse, my shoulders are broad. Haha
Its funny how all the stewtards think all the non stewtards are hiding cause he won last week. Stewtards is such a perfect name for them. Nobody is hiding from nobody stewtards, i'm not a stewart fan but will be the first to congratulate him on his win and how he did it. it was good for him and the sport. He won a race, good job, he deserved it, its about time.
pitbul i agree with you 100%. Clever is a good that the stewtards will never understand, they just think going balls out from race to race is the best thing to do, hence, stewtards. LOL
How can any of you be taken seriously , Using words like Retardcross , and Stewtards , etc etc , you all sound like a bunch of 14 year old little boys , I hate him , I hate you , He hates me , we hate them Wah Wah Wah ! , Root for the Sport Morons , quit the bashing , and enjoy the fact that these guys put it on the line , for us eveytime they ride , Root for all racers , some of you just dont get it
and here comes pitfool with his subpar ,IQ
731chopper...yes i agree CBS did a little better on coverage however i laughed when all 3 front runners CR JS and RV first came together and just as RC mentioned "this is what we have all been waiting for" CBS cut away for a split second to another rider and then IMMEDIATELY cut back to the top 3 riders....almost as if someone at CBS was joking around ?
to the original point of the article, I agree that the "Big 4" will grab all remaining wins and I would add, podiums, barring injuries.
I'm not a hater of James, but I'm also not a fan. He rode great, but the reason I,m not a fan is for the same reason Reed has mentioned before. James doesn't respect his fellow racers. From the podium speech Bubba says "I was just riding around out there" really!! So to say none of the guys you passed were any compitition for you. You just rode by them like nothing to it. Prick. Reed rode awesome and he can hug that Honda tight to the inside of any corner like he's on rails and never slip, slide or miss a beat. RV rode amazing. Now if he can just get a start its all she wrote. I think RV realized he was never going to catch Stewart and passing Reed the wise Vet was just to risky with the track deterating. Smart racing out there. My only complaint with CBS is the shorting. I want to see both heats and the LCQ. Not one heat and some highlights and then the main.
I bet Dungey is smiling (a little), knowing that he's not the only one that can't get around Reed. If RV can't make the pass, then you know its gotta be tough!
As for the 721 person that wrote about fixed. This is what my bookie told me. He had to make a lot of money at the first 3 races so that is why James placed as he did. So then my bookie tells me he talked to Reed and the Ryans and told them to let James win this week cause the bettors had given up on James. Anyhoo said bookie I just passed a few grand to the other guys and now James won and that is the way it works. The moral of the story is trust your bookie, he knows what is gonna happen!
PS: if you belive my story I have some very finePacific ocean beach fron property for sale in Arizona or it will be as soon as the San Andreas fault cracks "trust me"!
Oh I forgot to mention I totally agree with Preston on the hating. Its ok to not be a fan of a particular racer, but the hating is just bad. If you have ever raced at this level you would understand. These guys are putting it on the line and this is the greatest sport on the planet! Respect, Respect. The booing I keep hearing on the boob tube makes me sick. I would love to know if Preston is the Travis Preston. His or Her post sounds like some thing TP11 would say.
Knobbywan......RV passed Reed quite easily in round 2 on his way from dead last to 3rd!
Hey DC
its probably time to lay some ground rules about this comment section. THIS IS NOT A FORUM!!! Its a comment section, there aren't any threads here...
and really, this is a public news site, its shouldn't be filled with half this crap...time to clean it up around here
all of you need to join vitalmx.com and you can be an idiot over there all you want, the masses will moderate you...
this place is out of control
It's still a bit early to see patterns, but so far it seems that:
RV and JS can have dominant speed on any given night. They've both made some mistakes early, but I'm not ready to think that will be a continuing pattern.
RD and RC will always be up in the top 3 or 4, and with good track position, can win.
This might be wishful thinking on my part, because this would be a recipe for another fantastic series. Fantastic unless you hate one of them, but that's your problem.
RC was supposed to CR. I know Ricky's retired.
I thought CBS did a good job this time. Showed both qualifiers and the whole main. LCQ? Who cares. Sometimes it's the most intense racing, but typically comprised of back markers...you know, like #800.
I call RV's race wise. I know he has the speed to pass CR and I know he did not. I think he felt the risk too high, I saw him make several small errors and there are days when you shouldn't push it. I believe he chose to back it down because the risk of pushing it was too high for how he felt on this race, I am calling it wise racing. If it was the last race I am confident he would have gone for it. In other words two guys beat him because he didn't have it sat. Hopefully JS will learn when to push and when not to.
NOW, why do so many on here say a rider loses when he gets 2nd through10th. I don't because you didn't lose when you got 5th or whatever. Winning is first, losing is 20th. RD did not lose at all last week ! He was 4th at that is in the top 20% and he is tied for 1st in the series. Every winner of the series has placed less than 1st usally more than he's won.
Hate is immature at best in my opionion as fans. I LOVE a close series that leaves us wondering who will win. Thare have been riders I have disliked like Alesi when he took out IT and stood on his bike, riders like that are cheaters that will do anything to win. I didn't like Jlaw, Eric V and others that were consistantly dirty racers that I feel degraded this sport. I have given them second chances in my mind and some do better and some don't. I can go either way with JS but overall I would like him to stay up and healthy and do well. I have never felt JS was dirty, just a huge danger to himself and others. I feel next year there will be the big six that can win and would love it to be ten ! I love being able to comment on here and don't get all the stupid name calling etc and and wonder if its just kids or are we really that redneck ?
GO RV !!
Did you guys notice how much the 250 class struggled ? Even tomac did not look smooth at all. Must of been a tough track for that size bike.
Congrats to JS for his win. Sounds like RV had a bad day, but he will be back. I will have to take everyones word that it was a good race. I was at work so had to DVR the race. Imagine my surprise when I had 45 min of golf and 15 min of the first qualifier. Not happy my local CBS. The problem I have with the golf is it was played in Abu Dhabi on the other side of the world. I knew who won it at 6 AM PST (thats west coast) when I was . How can you run 45 min over when the game ended over 8 hrs earlier. Leason learned and will set up to record an extra hour when the race is on CBS. Speed channel still rules.
PS the races are NOT fixed, its real. There are riders that try to cheat from time to time and or team ride but fixed is out of the question.
One big gripe I have is the STUPID sound testing our racers have to put up with. It is the ONLY motorized sport I know of that does this. We are far quieter than any drag strip, circle race (indy, nascar) or street bike racing. The theroy that if our pros are loud it will be loud in our neibhorhoods, is wrong. We could easily have our local tracks fine the loud bikes etc. but at least let us put the exhausts the teams want on our ama sx and mx races. It sounds SO much better. Can you imagine sound restrictions at a tractor pull ?
i dont think any of the super 4 will real off a bunch of wins....there all 2 close... all going so fast...i think the season starts here...all down 2 luck and the starts...who ever wins this championship...wont just be the fastest they will have 2 be the most consistant...have the best luck....make the rite choices...have the best ppl around them....speed wont be enough...they are all fast....which means we fans are in for the best season yet!!!
I didn't read the article or the post's just wanted to say much to my suprise JS7 rode like a champ good job! CR22 too good job he held of RV1 for 2nd.
I'm wondering if anyone noticed that JS7 didn't scrub any jumps and his bike stayed straight through the woops, looks like they've got that bike dialed in finally.
I forget who I responded too on Friday that I didn't think JS7 could pull out a win with a woop section that long. I ate my words.
Travis Preston or Preston Petty? Hey, villopoto did get a start- he was right behind stewie- and then he wasn't. Some guys are faster from week to week. Lets see who it is next week.
cant wait to see bubba holeshot!
The top 4 guys are all similar in Speed. Nerxt week it may be Dungey. Or RV might holeshot and check out, who knows. Lets get off the chilish crap and quit saying so-and-so just showed he is the fastest, or this guy passed that guy. Some tracks suit riders styles better than others. Its just the way it is. RV showed he was not as fast for 20 laps on the Oakland track as Reed or Stewart. But he has been faster on other tracks. And vice-versa. Stewart hjas been slow on some tracks, and was easily the fastest at Oakland. It is how its going to be all year, and its awesome.. I dont know why guys have to name call and argue when we have a great season going, its great..
