For professional motocross racers, the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship is capable of delivering unforgettable moments of triumph and glory in one instant, and soul shattering lows the next. For James Stewart, who now trails points leader Ryan Dungey by 70 points after leading the series just a few short weeks ago, this is especially true. Stewart, whose contract with Yoshimura Suzuki doesn’t officially begin until 2013, made the decision to return to the outdoors for a single reason: he wanted to race. The team had placed no expectations or pressure on him, there were no contractual obligations to fulfill, no big bonuses to earn. Stewart could have just as easily spent the summer dialing in his new ride and getting ready to chase another Monster Energy Supercross championship, a title that has eluded him since 2009, but instead he chose to line up at Hangtown with minimal preparation.
Fast forward to the FMF High Point National, where Stewart’s presence was questionable after suffering a wrist injury the week before at Thunder Valley, the unfortunate outcome of a chain reaction of ill-fated events that began with a photographer crossing the track directly in front of him as he led the first moto. On Thursday, he finally confirmed via Twitter he would be racing at High Point in an attempt to salvage valuable points in his quest to secure another national championship against fierce competitors like Ryan Dungey, Mike Alessi and more.
A wrist injury would sideline James Stewart after a fifth in moto one.

Unfortunately for Stewart, the fans and the entire series itself, his wrist simply wasn’t healed up enough to compete safely at the level he’s accustomed to. Stewart isn’t somebody who simply rides around or gives it anything less than 100 percent, and when his wrist went numb in the first moto, a fifth-place was the best he could manage. It’s a good result, but for somebody like Stewart, taking a fifth place at a National without crashing just doesn’t happen.
As Stewart rode through the pits on his way back to the Yoshimura Suzuki rig, fans showed their support with encouraging words, clapping and giving the thumbs up gesture. With the realization that his championship hopes were now completely gone, all the dejected Stewart could muster in reply was a weak smile and a subdued nod of his head.
When the gate dropped on the second 450 moto, Stewart wasn’t there. He and his team had wisely made the tough decision to pull out and avoid risking further injury; racing with one wrist practically tied behind your back is never a good idea. The fact that he even tried to race in the first place is admirable, and is a true testament to just how important a shot at another National Motocross Championship still is to the must scrutinized man in all of motocross.
It’s unlikely that we’ll see Stewart return next weekend at the Red Bull Budds Creek National, and at this point, even his return to racing this summer is in question. One thing is certain, however. If Stewart does return this summer, it will be for one reason: because he wants to. He did this for the fans, and he deserves credit for at least trying, and then credit for making the right move for his new team and his career.
Stewart's status for Budds Creek is still uncertain at the moment.

The 450 season has now turned booooring. Thank God the 250 guys are so exciting to watch. Get well soon James!
Going to be a yawner....I think I will take up fishing this summer.RD5:Effin stud.You wore them all down!
It wont be as good with him out I agree, but do you media people always have to make it ALL about Stewart ???? geeesss Stewart this and Stewart that, I think its the media that turns people away from Stewart and not Stewart himself...
You Media people never see whats right in front of you, all you see is Stewart, Well I got news for you in the form of RD5 and everyone else you seem to ignore and never give credit.....................
Stewart was only able to race to a fifth place finish- because of the wrist injury he sustained in the fifth moto of the season- while battling against the number five- whose team manager is five time world champion Roger DeCoster. If I could think of one just more that would be five.
James has nothing to prove, we all know he has the speed and talent to win. He has shown the desire to race that some have questioned. Sometimes it is just not in the cards, even for the Gambler, as there is no reason to chance further injury. His health and well being should take president over racing for now, just common sense. Let him come back when he is ready, to be what he knows he can be the fastest man on a Suzuki.....
@biker143: I guess you missed the other eight features we posted on the site today that had nothing to due with Stewart. At the end of the day this is still a big story, and one that we will cover.
Thanks for reading.
@biker143 - Couldn't have said it any better!! I agree with you 100%. I'm so sick of hearing about Stewart non-stop.
Dunge is the man. Period. He proved that he can run Stewarts pace... but he does it without crashing. People will all say he won because everyone was hurt... but why were they hurt? Pushing the limit a little too far maybe?? While Dunge runs right with them but always stays in control. He is there every weekend. Always fast, solid, and rarely crashes. If it wasn't for some mechanical failures last year in MX and the 2011 SX, he would have 2 more championships to his name. Go Dunge... and GO TEAM USA for the Des Nations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Biker, maybe you should have a peak at the front page of this website, there's an interview with Ryan Dungey right there. You must have missed that in your hurry to talk dump
@Chase Stallo - do you really believe the media does not talk about Stewart endlessly? Give me a break dude. 8 other features today is great... but I bet there will be at least 8 other Stewart articles this week, as opposed to maybe half that number for any other rider. We all understand that you have to write about what draws the crowds, and obviously Stewart draws crowds. But enough is enough. Let the man be and give him some time out of the limelight.
Well said Chase, and good write up Aaron. Sure is a bummer that this happened to Stewart, was really happy to see him out there this year, and how happy he was. Hopefully he comes back, and if not, i sure hope he tries again in 2013. Heal up 100 % buddy.
Hey WFO, how about this. If things stay true to the past 4 years, this would mae the 5th year in a row that the winner of High Point won the 450 MX title. ;-)
Just say'in
It IS about Stewart. The sharp end of the field progresses with him racing.
Did the negative people watch Freestone?? It sucked that he and Reed sat out the nationals for years, but now they're back and making everyone better. All that negativity can't be good for you!! Enjoy mx in its current state......
enough about ryan dungey , a championship for KTM in only his second season would definitely bolster decoster's status as "the man".............not that he really needed it I suppose.
No big surprise to hear biker143 and kxpwr18 crying about too much Stewart, they ALWAYS have a problem with Stewart.....same old crap!! Chase is right kids, this is a big story, it changes a lot about the outdoor season but takes nothing away from the rest of the competitors!! You said it yourself kxpwr18, he draws crowds and that draws people and people spend money...that is one reason why, if you don't like how capitalism works then move....haha!! Also, your statement about the guys who are hurt "pushing the limit" is a little bunk....was JS pushing too hard when he went down? no, just riding and leading like he had done every single moto prior....was RV pushing too hard when he was injured in SX?? not hardly......RD took himself out of SX with an injury, it happens fella!! Bottom line is that it sucks that JS is out of this title hunt, it was going to be good till the end for sure, he's gone and it's already a sleeper!! Don't get your looms all scrunched whenever there ids a Stewart story!!
James can you please shave off those 10 scraggly hairs in the middle of your cheek? That is not a good look.
@Kxpwr18: Dungey is riding as close to his edge as Stewart is (was) his this season, and maybe even more so. I don't want to see Dungey go down any more than Stewart, but he nearly put a down payment on his farm at least a couple of times at High Point. There is just a huge bad luck factor in whether one almost crashes or crashes; and then dusts oneself off and hops back on the bike, or limps back to the trailer. Dungey recent injury during SX, for example.
Hey Suzuki !
Got any team parts that arent being used for 800 ?

RacerX Staff. It's not Stewartcross, it's motocross. Please let go of chasing every Stewart lead to a redundant end. Let's give the other competitors the coverage and attention they continually earn.
James needs to get healthy. Gonna need him for the MXdN.
whose crashed more in the past two years, james or malcom? not trying to hate on the stewarts but it just seems funny to me that malcom consistently goes down like james did on the yamaha. wonder what the problem is.
It's big news because this championship went from shaping up to be one of the best - JS7 and RD5 separated by 1-2 seconds for 4 races - to RD5 winning every race by 20 sec.
JS7 going out is big news because he was the last man standing between RD5 and the championship.
Remember all those who hate on James cos he rides hard and sometimes crashes, RV, CR, TC, are all injured (like JS7)..from crashing (like JS7)...all by themselves (like JS7)...
yes, yes, not TC of course, but still injured...(like JS7)
Also, any story about JS7 gets twice as many comments as any others, it's good business. Don't like it? Stop reading.
good ride from brock tickle! nice to see him fighting after an unmotivated period!
about stewart, i have seen him crashing so many times this year. for me a crash is a mistake. for sure bad luck too!!!! but not that often. so shut up haters....i am disappointed too because the series was more exciting with him. in addition everyone hated on dungey because he went to "poor" KTM....i cant hear that sh** anymore! never mind! you want to know who is best then look at the results! results wont lie!!! if you have ever raced you will understand that! no excuses anymore!
The Media has always been in love with Stewie, always have and always will be.. Just like the "Special" first time ever 4th place award they gave out after the 2011 supercross season. They have NEVER handed one out before, and did it that year because Stewie got 4th place, and thet wanted him there. He didnt show up to collect the award though. The media always give him tons of exposuer, get used to it or dont read the article.
On another note, I hope Steie doesnt bail out on the season though. It will make him seem like a quitter, if he bails after he is healed up just because he cant win the title.. He can keep riding and winning races and get ready to go to Belgium and kick as$ in the sand at the Des Nations. And I want to see him at Red Bud too..
I hope james returns to outdoors, that was some amazing racing the first 2 races.
Whether you like him or not, JS has been / and will continue to be an important part of MX/SX. I am not, or ever have been a fan of JS, but I do recognize his place in past and current MX / SX statistics. JS brings out alot of emotions in racers and fans alike. IT IS WHAT IT IS........
I am glad JS is thinking about his wrist injury as far as the healing goes, and I hope he lets it heal 100% before he returns whether that be this year, or definately 2013 at A1.
Any true fan of MX / SX must agree that he is one of the best that ever swung a leg over an MX bike and will have a place in the record books. For that he has my respect............nobody should hate on any rider.
@ WFO Your comment and observation makes it 5!!!
Dammit Whatever....you beat me to it! RD deserves all the credit but its a little tiring hearing about how he never crashes and is smarter than everyone else! Pretty sure he's just recently back from a broken collar bone......everyone crashes...some more than others! Some simple because they want first and nothing else where others are fine with podiums....
@Wfo. James is now 5th in the points
Pitiful to read the 'throwin' in the towel/goin' fishin'/not gonna' watch/boring/yawner comments from the surface-level only followers. Boo-Hoo little boys. How do you manage to cry and type at the same time? Go to a National yourselves and see in person why it's such an amazing Sport. True fans will still buy tickets when the show rolls into/near their town and or find it on the NBCSports channel or on the internet on Alli.Sports if that's the only alternative. I hope JS7 heals fast, but not watch because he's on the sidelines? Really..., I mean REALLY? You guys forgot it's called the AMA OUTDOOR Motocross Championship and not the JAMES STEWART Motocross Invitational. Stop crying in your Gatorade and grow-up/grow some 'stones'.
With the big guns out and James still being one of the fastest guys on two wheels ,If not the fastest still .There's not much to wright about let alone talk about.Ryan D is a great guy and one of the five top guys in the sport today.There is nothing in the 450 class to wight about.Now you want to talk about the 250's you have four guys that are going to go kick butt every moto week in and week out.I wish some of the other guys in the 450's would step up bring it week in and week out.Maybe there is that much of difference between the factory bikes,but if that's the case then there some factory guys are out for a sunday cruise.I just don't know!
It's pretty big news like usual with JS7 so I understand the media attention. Frankly I would go to a national with or without him there because the racing is just as good. Don't forget that the 250 class is ridiculously awesome to watch these days too. RD5 might walk away from the field now but he's doing it the right way, by being there every week putting in strong rides.Stewart will be back, he knows what his fans want to see.
@JJPH
Thank you for having common sense and a brain. It is a lost art these days.
Jimbo your kidding right?
mananmachine- good eye! I missed that one- he also has five fingers on each hand, and won five ama titles so far. And probably wipes his butt with five dollar bills too.
I meant good eye hammerhead!
For some reason, the competitive 250 class and its more than entertaining season appears to be unnoticed.
It would almost seem like a no brainer to be focusing on the 250 class instead of one rider in the 450 class.
Without the best guys racing (in this case due to a pedestrian crossing the track which should be prohibited -period! during a moto) Jeff Emig needs to stop saying these are the "best racers in the world" -because they are not. I cannot believe we have not seen an apology or acknowledgement from MX sports etc. for allowing the pedestrian crossing the track in front of the leader of the entire race. Just bone-heads & typical moto retards that will keep MX from ever being what it could be. And we all made fun of the FIM MX1 Mexico fiasco??
Has anyone ever noticed that when James gets these injuries it is always the same thing. James gets non obvious, sometimes debatable injury. James than does one more ride and says its too painful and than we don't see him for a, usually bigger periood amount of time than expected. When I heard he was going to try race this weekend I knew 100% that he would do 1 moto than stop.
Now before I get blasted. I am not saying he is faking it. I am not saying he is weak. I am just stating some observations of mine. though in saying that. I don't want to hear from the press how tough he is ect. Cause lets face it. If this were Dungey, Reed, Canard or Poto (not sure on poto if he has soldiered on with an injury thru a series before), they would be busting 5ths in hopes of any chance however slim to get a title or just to race. He doesnt have to be like that by any means. He is superfast already has titles and fans. But right now I wish he was that guy that pushes thru injuries. Cause I believe he could of still maybe got lucky to a dungey mistake or something.
Anyway just my observations and opinions. What ever the case, the series has been injured with JS7 injury. And to all that say he was pushing past limits blah blah. I think that is just false. He was riding smooth and in control
Stewart HAD to race to get his Red Bull bonuses....end of story....get a grip guys, come on....
I am not a fan or do i dislike James, I think he has mad some bad calls over the past few years.may be his time has come and gone.. It Just Happens.I alo have seen the track crossing no big deal.What if another rider had fallen up front, would we have had the same outcome.
Hope I'm wrong but I think he's done with outdoors.
JS will be back he wants to get in as much race time as he can before RV,CR,TC, get back to raise to a higher level. he knows that can't be done by watching races from the couch.
I'm a race fan, and all I'm reading/hearing is Stewart/Dungey ad nauseum. There will be some great racing to fill out the top ten. How about some props to the guy on the 800, I'm sure he's got some fans out there (not me, his dad bothers me). Or Wiemer, who won a West title just 2 years ago. Short, Tickle and others just get stronger as the summer goes on. So what if they can't catch Dungey or couldn't run with the 7 and 5's speed.
In hindsight, would it have made more sense to skip High Point all together to allow the wrist to regain enough to make both motos at Budds Creek? A needed break in the schedule after Budds Creek could be all thats needed to keep it alive.
I like the way RD was dogging JS like a bounty hunter. I see somewhat of a resemblance to what JS was doing to RC in the past. Logic would say that RD is still gaining and possibly JS has peaked. No one lasts forever and as sure as RC handled McGrath someone will usurp JS.
The biggest frustration for me is seeing all these riders not making it to the party. Some curtains will close and questions will go unanswered.
Have the wrist checked out, if ok to ride,, tape it up and throw on a wrist brace. get out there and get some points. its a long series and what you do for a living.
Kxpwr18 just in case you missed it RD was not there every week in SX.
Funny how you say he can Run JS's speed..... But he could not beat him even when he started in front of him 3 times in a row!!
Ya, RD missed 5 rounds in a row. He raced 11 of 16 and still finished 3rd O/A......
Or was it 12 of 17????????? anyways he missed 5 rounds due to injury.
@ BillC...........RD can run JS speed.........we all witnessed that. He didn't beat him obviously but was on him like flies on sh*t to the checkered flag.
RD has the speed of James. we all saw it. But he tends to stay upright more.
Preston- you should be his PR man, that was thick. We jump Pourcel and others for acting entitled and above the sport... This is MX, if you are just sore, but you can ride and get points, get on the bike.
@BillC, as always, bagging on Dungey. Put down the tools you use to make lampshades from human skin and try to take an objective look for once.
If “speed” is just the ability to twist a throttle regardless of the consequences and go all out even if you crash your brains out….Stewart has it. If “speed” is the ability to run at a fast and consistent pace the entire season…..RD and RV have it. Your definition of speed is utter nonsense. I have concluded from your consistently negative comments you are certainly no fan of the sport. You are the closest thing to an internet bully we readers have to endure at the RacerX site.
I really like Stewart. I wish he would back it down a bit to make it through these seasons late in his career. He is a marvel to watch. I also appreciate the consistent pace RD and RV keep all season.
Is it just me,but it drives me nuts to hear guys say I feel good with the way i rode and finshing in the top 10.could that be the reason the 450 class blows.
Thank you .I'm glad that i'm not the only guy that fills that way.i wish i could be half assed at my job and not have to worry about loosing it.As much as i hate to say this ,but the racing out doors was much better 25 yrs ago when guys had win to get pay checks.you would thinks with alot teams owner's that where racers haven't kicked some of theses guy in butts to pick up pace.

How in the world do you write 450 words on High Point, and not mention Mike Alessi!!!! Seriously? He road extremely well, he led much of both races, and he got a HoleShot!
Poor writing!
I know Mike's name is in the article, but nothing about his day.
Wow. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the bunch of Bubba lovers at Racer X but seriously, some things you are just WAY off on.
First off -
"Stewart could have just as easily spent the summer dialing in his new ride and getting ready to chase another Monster Energy Supercross championship, a title that has eluded him since 2009, but instead he chose to line up at Hangtown with minimal preparation."
Are you kidding me? He had more time to prepare than anyone else!! After he quit his obligations at JGR and stopped racing SX he immediately started riding the Suzuki practicing for outdoors. How ignorant can you be to write something like this?
Secondly, 5th place isn't bad and it salvages points. Once again, Bubba is a quitter though if he isn't winning. Now that the championship is out of the question we won't see him again. And if anyone thinks he wasn't getting bonuses for winning races or for an eventual championship you are a fool. Bubba = the Fraud I've always said he was once again!!!!
Retardcross Thats true but till you beat someone are you really as good? We don't know if RD was going 100% or if he would have pulled away if he got passes JS but we also don't know if JS could have gone faster if RD got by. See what I mean?
JonR290 ...Ummm..... Yeah what ever.
.
tomktm ... Can we call RD a quiter also?? I mean hell he raced 1 SX with the broken Collar Bone why not finish the series?? He is a quiter too right?? NO you will just spin it around more to show your hate fro JS!!
Talk about Fraud's tomktm .... YOU are one, You bashed JS a LOT before the first race, THEN he win's 4 moto's in a row and guess what???? NO tomktm seen!! You are a fair weather fan who only comes out when recent events fit your agenda!!
If you wonder why they write about Stewart, look no further than the comments section. No other rider in recient memory creates such a flash point. On or off the track, the media has to go where the fish are biting, even if we don't end up reading the other 7 features.
No need to defend anything Chase. RacerX is a quality outfit, and you are doing it proud.
@ Bill C class rider..... I bash Bubba at every article they write about him, where have you been!? Why you ask? Because he IS a fraud and the majority of people on here are starting to realize that. His 4 moto wins mean NOTHING right now do they? And besides, Dungey was on him in each moto just waiting for him to crash out. Dungey will have more championships than Bubba once the summer is over so he's not even on the same playing field as Ryan.
@ Bill C class rider.... Dungey came back and raced SX after his injury because he was under contract to do so. He didn't fake a hand injury to get out of his contract like Booba!!!
I think Stewart is lookin at the big picture here. By coming back and pushing thru the injury to try to stay in the outdoor title chase, it threatens his '13 supercross session- where he gets to race against not only Dungey- but Villopoto Reed and Canard too. The big prize- to get to race his new suzook against all the top guys- in front of 60,000 people. There out hurt and hes trying to get his shit together in time for Anahiem. Its not really in his best interest to aggravate that injury at this point. If and when its good to go again- he'll go out and get more race time against Dungey. This isnt the end of the world just the end of the title- which he already said wasnt his real goal anyway just an added bonus. The last thing he wants to do is to still be nursing that wrist at Anahiem I.
If he would of won the outdoors some people would say he only beat Dungey who was on a brand new bike- and Dungey was right on him- and all the top guys are out so its an asterisk. But if he was to win the supercross title with everybody there at the start- like Villopoto did last year- it would be much bigger deal to him and everybody else too. It sucks that he hurt that wrist again- it sure took a long time to heal the last time. So how bad is that wrist anyway just a sprain or somethink broken?
tomktm...Rich man... Rich....You are a piece of work I will give you that.
.I think you have been sitting on a few to many "polls"..... LOL I Figured if you were going all 4th grade on me I would fight back the same way... You make me laugh..Thanks
Golly gee everyone, James did all that for his fans. Thanks for telling us that. I was thinking he rode at all this summer as a PR stunt to rebuild his image. I thought maybe he was riding because he had a built in excuse (new bike) if he didn't win the championship. Shame on me! Thank ye Mr for settin us straight. I getting all teary eyed here. He did it for....sniff, sniff..... his fans!!!! You have won me over!
BillC: You are way to smart to believe that RD5 collar bone analogy. Come on now Bill. I'm sure James is really hurting but the point is, he's always hurting. He can not win the way the GOAT did and the way RV seems to be learning to. Sometime you have to ease up a bit and think long term instead of thinking "what can I do to win impressively and get the talking heads to talk about my greatness some more". James STILL hasn't figured that out. More talent than 10 riders. Very little in the intangibles department.
Stewart is a quitter. Plain and simple. If things aren't going exactly his way he packs it up and heads home.
Everyone saying Stewart is a quitter is retarded... you know cause you're totally right, the dude should definitely race on an aggravated wrist injury. Oh and wait... things weren't going his way when he was winning at Thunder Valley right? He just decided he would ride off the track after one crash? If that crash didn't hurt him I'm sure he would have gotten back up to salvage as many points as he could. Also, the people complaining about all the "buzz" around Stewart... really? He is the fastest rider out there this season and his injury and absence greatly impact the outcome of the championship. "Ryan Dungey dominates against a field of riders who are not on his level" ... BORING.
@ Bill C rider and Preston - You are entitled to your opinions just like I am but the fact is I'm right and you are wrong :) I can confidently say this based on James' track record. He is a quitter - fact, not opinion. And I will gladly give him his due IF he starts to win again (I've often praised him for his 08' Outdoor season) but it's been since 09' and that wouldn't even be so bad if he didn't hype himself up as the fastest man on the planet BS... Maybe we should make a new series for James - it will be just one race and only one lap. I would put all I own on him for taking the championship. Until that happens though he has to be fast for a whole season and win championships. It's already too late for him to be the GOAT in this sport as he will never match Ricky in championships but he still has a chance to win more races and another championship or two. His riding hasn't progressed in the past 3-4 years to show me he can do that but you never know.
@Preston--Do you really bel;ive just because Stewart is out the whole season is ruined?? BOY--you are a real ONE _RIDER fan. I enjoy watching them all race.. How would you feel if I said the whole season was ruined as soon as RV1 went out?? Which it did really ruin the season.. You didnt really think Stewart would finish the season outdoors did you?? Outdoors is tougher than supercross, ans Stewart hasnt done any better than 4th in two years, why would you think outdoors would be any different??
@tomktm--dont waste your time with either of them. BillC. is back on the Stewart bandwagon like he has been for years, and Preston is so in love with Stewart it is borderline creepy..
@the photog DID NOT cause Stewarts crash, watch the race on motocross action. If that guy that far ahead caused Stewart to crash, he has no focus at all. If he is one of the best in the world like you all say he is, then no way that caused his crash..
Props to Racer X for pointing out Stewart's desire to win and the fact that he did not have to race outdoor. Even with the top guys out this series is going to be very interesting. Guys like Allesi, Weimer and Short have a chance at the title. Winning the title for any of those guys could make a huge difference in their careers. If you look back at past years there were always times that the best riders were sidelined with injurys and others stepped in to put in fantastic races. Winning at that level can give them the confidence to raise it to the next level. When RV and CR and TC are healthy again it's going to take a while for them to get back into it. It is then that the new champions will be giving them a run for the money.
tomktm - you are 100% correct. Sadly. But correct. I think it has been said one million times. But in a decade looking back they will talk about James underachieving.
James your insane...
