PrintWe’ve got ourselves a new winner in Monster Energy Supercross 2013—and it’s one of the old winners. James Stewart has been through a rough run early this season, but after a few weeks of improvement, it was clear he might have the stuff to get a win—and when he snagged the holeshot in Atlanta, it was on.
But oh, it wouldn’t be easy because Ryan Villopoto was right there behind him. The huge crowd braced themselves for a battle, but the lead stabilized between 1-2 seconds the whole way, and Villopoto was never quite able to challenge. Stewart did the damage in a rhythm lane by jumping a double off of a dragon back, something Villopoto was not doing. Beyond that, they seemed even-up in speed.
Points leader Davi Millsaps logged another strong run with a third, holding off the advances of Justin Barcia, who tailed off down the stretch. Then came Trey Canard in fifth, just holding off Ryan Dungey. Next came 450 newcomer Eli Tomac, Jake Weimer, Chad Reed and Mike Alessi.

I was wondering if James has what it takes to run 20 laps with Villopoto since we had yet to see it this year, yup!
What happened to Kiniry?
Good grief that Erin Bates just makes me want to go motor boating.
Thank you James. I'd picked you to win this one and you came through for me. AWESOME! Trey, you're next.
Villipoto knows darn well that whoever is in front of him is the focus. He needs every point he can get. He just said that cause he couldn't catch JS7. Dungey fan here but I gotta say a guy not riding/training for a few weeks and holding them off is impressive. DM matching their speed and closing in on them just solidifies his abilities. WOW, can't wait for next weekend already!!!!!!!!!
fred- so I guess you will be giving tons of fun a booty call!
CZMark 2dam old2race said he was going to give her a booty call and then a few covered wagons.At least she'll get a new hairdo out of it.So the next time you see her with a afro you'll know why.
I knew one of the "one-rider fans" would love the remark by RV when he said Stewart wasnt their worry right now, its Millsaps.. But he is right.. Why push yourself into a possible crash to catch a guy in 8th place??? He was smart.. Take nothing away from Stewart he rode good, but dont think RV couldnt have made up one second and made a push.. Any "real" fan would know that..
@Shepster--quit being a one-rider guy and admit that RV could have made up the gap.. Could he have beaten Stewart?? Who knows, maybe, maybe not, but did he HAVE to catch him?? NOPE..Stewart is in 8tyh place, why would he as long as he was in front of Millsaps..
Nice to see bubba win would have been nice to see Georkie pass Reed he was gaining. How long till Reed sees an end in sight.
I'll tell you why.For those 3 extra points thats why.The reason why he didn't do it is because he wasn't fast enough.Ever time he would get close to Stewart he would just wick up thru the rhythm section and pull away.
hmmm, who is a one rider fan ?
RV may have pushed a little harder if James was a championship threat, but don't kid yourself "therealmofo", RV was pissed that he couldn't catch James.
Reality, they were darn close in speed, as usual.
It was good to see James go the distance.
Tomac would be dangerous if he could just get a top 5 start.
Good to see Stewart get one.
Villo managed the race for points - agree he didn't need to push to get Stewart. With it as slippery as it was, he easily could have gone done and lost points if he had tried.
Milsaps - managing the points lead as he needs to do.
Quiet 4th for Barcia.
What happened to Reed?
Thought Short would do better.
Tomac would be dangerous if he could just get a top 5 start.
Good to see Stewart get one.
Villo managed the race for points - agree he didn't need to push to get Stewart. With it as slippery as it was, he easily could have gone done and lost points if he had tried.

Sorry guys
Mofo why do you insist that RV is faster than James? He isn't!! Every heat, every practice.. James is always .1 sec better which is quite a bit. If RV loses the championship this year by 2 pts, he will certainly second guess not going after the guy in 8th place!
Stewart is still the fastest rider in MX. His one lap speed is unmatched.. I understand that doesn't always equate to a win or championship.. But the reality is that it Stewart had ALOT more under the hood, he hasn't even pushed the edge of his speed this year.
I'm not even a Stewart fan and I know this!! It's the same people that thought Tomac would be a podium threat after the Monster Cup when nobody was ready or just returning from injury.
I hope Reed gets on it, because I am Reed guy.
All Erin Bates needs is a big black hat and some 3" nails
Talk about wicked witch of the southeast
She's already got the nose
Stewart really surprised me tonight
Congrats to Hahn Earned it
Thought movin' marv would've takin it too Deano on more technical "tricky" track.
I hat to say it.Hope I'm wrong.We knew this day was comming sooner than later but I think ol Chadwick just might not have it anymore.I bet this is his last year for sure.Damn we knew this day was comming.I think I'll give it a few more races.
I would like to believe that Ryan was just managing his race, but damm he looked pissed on the podium. I mean who doesn't want to win and yes as for championship points, James is not a threat to Ryan.
Kinda odd to see Yamahas absent from the classes they created.
Does Erin have a nose? I've never noticed.Hahaha Motorboatin!
fred- it looks like the "Thunder from down Under" has turned into a covered wagon sqeaker! lol
Thats what you do when you get old.I guess Elli will have something to look foward to.In about another 14 years we'll see Littleman Tate leading team 22.He sure rips on that push bike.
Whoever thinks RV could have caught - and passed James, wasn't watching the race. JS7 held him at exactly the same distance all night. When he had to get on the gas, he did. And RV fell back to around 2.2 seconds. James managed the race, as all good champions do. Everyone rode well, and JS7 won. What else needs to be said? When he used to open up a 10 second gap - and crash - people said he was reckless. Well here's the new, mature JS7. Still hard to beat. BTW: Where's Reed? Oh yeah. He got 9th.
@ rick and ride2 only a "real" fan can comment on here! Someone is a hater. Just check all the prior posts. If you check mine I have stated numerous times I am a Dungey fan. JS7 caught and passed RV2 in the heat last week from farther back. 2 point gains from here on out-hmm doesn't take a rocket scientist to do the math. Anyone saying anything positive about JS7 gets bashed by the "real" fan. Anyway, can't believe I wasted my time there. If ET would get a good start it would be interesting. Next week SX airs on CBS-Can't Broadcast Sports. Looks like I am streaming. Can't wait!!
it was only a matter of time til Stewart got the win,now watch out,cause once he gets on he is on.sure R-V2 you were not worried about Stewart,you know why? because you didn't stand a chance in ---- of catching him, that's why!! now watch people jump back on the Stewart bandwagon,so this win is for all the J-S7 haters,keep on hating,because he's still the FASTEST MAN on 2 wheels!!!!!
rmf: RV could NOT have made up the gap. He tried (look at the lap time chart) - several times. Once on lap 6 and once around lap 16. Both times James dropped the hammer. The first time JS7 dropped to 52.502, and RV answered with a 52.876. THAT's why he didn't catch him. Math don't lie, bro.
Love how some of you only focus on parts of interviews. First thing RV said was "When James gets out front it's tough" ...pretty much admitting catching and passing him would be difficult.
How bout look at the fact that RV was well off the pace most of the night as the practice and heat race proved! Whether it was the bike, the track, himself or a combination of things. Yet when it came time to perform he put that behind him and rode to a solid second maintaining a 4 -5 second gap on the only guy he cares about right now. His only focus needs to be finish ahead of Millsaps for the rest of the series.
Congrats to JS for a great ride, he looked smooth and I expect him to start winning...he has zero pressure on him now.
I think he would of won last week as well.James said he was nervous cause he hasn't been up there in a while.I believe that.I bet James does better next week.Now if we could just get ol Chadwick fired up.
Oh my...here we go. The Stewart fans are out in force. He rode a great race but seriously the FMOTP?? He's got nothing to worry about and as history shows when he has no pressure he wins, when he has pressure he darts!
RD....is doing pretty much what I expected from him this year unfortunately....and Reed is done.
Congrats also goes out to MIllsaps.....this guy is bringing it bigtime!
james didnt even look like he was pushing it and rv couldnt close in
JS gets the holeshot and wins
RV settles into second
DM charges to third and settles
Barcia sat in fourth the whole race and settled there
Not much happened here, same as previous race. Holeshot is winner. No one can pass because it's too slippery after they settle into their place.
Congrats to JS7
js has beat rv 3 races in a row 1 main 2 heat races who else has ever done that no one
What if RV get 9 second places in a row and Millsaps get nine thirds in a row.Hows that going to work out for RV? I can just hear RV now.Well my focus was to beat Millsaps which I did but for some reason Millsaps is the SX champion.
Please tell me how RV managed the race for points? This isn't 2012, he is almost a full race behind. If he keeps "riding for points" he's not going to win this championship. Like Ricky said, those 3 points are crucial right now.
@Shepster --@SuperSXFanman/Starplaya-- Never said Stewart didnt run a good race.. And I said "could RV have passed him, maybe, maybe not" I never said RV was faster.. "BRO" I said RV doesnt have to catch him-sure he wants all the points he can get, but like I said," why push yourself into a crash"--but I guess you guys didnt read that part either... And you wonder why I call you guys "one-rider fans" you read what you want to read..
@SXFANMAN/StarPlaya4life---I would rip on Reed too much if I was you--He is in 5th place and your boy is in 8th place--If Reed is done what does that say for Stewart???
No discredit to him, just tired of people not able to accept his losses as they are.
I think it only natural that JS7 fans get to say a few words. It's been a long dry spell. Having said that, it's always tight these days. Look at the top 5 riders best lap times - they were all in the 52's. That tells you something. Many good races ahead, is what it tells me. And we all benefit from that. Is RV done winning? Heck no. He can win any week he lines up. He's that good. Tonight just wasn't his night and he rode smart. Frankly, all the top guys rode smart tonight. Well done.
@AGMAN Well said.
Fred,
Simple really. RV would make up 18 pts on DM. So the extra 3 with a win tonight would have gave him 21 pts. Still not enough so not worth the risk. But I would put my money on RV making the a lot over the remaining rounds. Can DM keep the streak going? And I do believe that even with the rebirth of the FMOTP in the field that RV will win a few more this year.
Again, all the guys could talk about is the slick track?? common men, we have unmanned rovers on Mars! Can we not build a track that can give these guys some traction. As I was watching the race it was evident it was pretty much the same as the rest. Someone gets the holeshot and wins and everyone follows the same line around the track for 20 laps.
PS...I meant to say podium.
About the track? when @rickmantuzio posts the old SX videos you should watch them. I got away from the old vids from the 90's but there is no question the racing was better......watch a few for yourselves and decide.
@DungeyPro My point is that I thought that was a lame statement that RV made and if he had that attitude every week he would not pull of his hat trick.My other point was that I thought it was even more lame that someone would quote that statement.Truth is and AGMAN said it best.Holeshot wins cause track to slick to pass.
How the Hell could anyone think that Erin Bates is not smokin Hot!!!
DungeyPoto your so defencive he got beat straight up fastest man on the planet
@ porcupintree
haven't seen you on here much lately until tonight! Pretty obvious why....enjoy.
@Fred.
RV's three peat chances became pretty slim at the first race of the season, A1.
He's thrown away a lot of points in the first few rounds and I believe him when he says DM is his concern right now. He's shown this year that for some reason when he pushes it he becomes very humanlike in a hurry. Maybe it's the forks or maybe it's him but there was no value in risking another on of those nights by trying to beat the FMOTP
If you look at the lap chart, how they came around in lap 1 was pretty much the same as how they came around lap 20, at least for the top 6 or so. Not pointing any fingers at the track makers, 4-strokes, or whatever, but it's a definite pattern. Maybe if you could look at lap charts from the 90s, it would be the same thing.
So now everyone that has predicted a JS win every single race, can say, "I called it.". If you persevere long enough, sometimes good things happen. It was strong ride, no doubt. Just 3 wins more, and he'll tie the GOAT, for SX anyway.
DungeyPoto I actually think that RV did the right thing tonight.He has been quite the lawn dart this year.I also think that RV will win the SX championship.I personally think the Davie train will derail soon.Might not happen that way but thats how I see it in my mind.
I just watch supercross to see Erin Bates!
stewart will be crowned 2013 season champ,mark my words
Nice ride for JS7 and 'ole paint' ...still knows its way to the barn...FMOTP tonight haters...lol...love that bike. RV rode smart ...moved into 2nd in pts. in front of Dungey...and gained a few ...but...Millsaps is riding his SUZUKI great also and looks awfully comfortable at speed not losin much ground...........@therealmofo ..don't you ever get tired of just stirring sh8t and calling everyone who doesn't agree with you some kind of name...I think every body on here has their favorite..signed 'real' fans everywhere. Thought ET rode great but will not just blow through the bigs like his fans had hoped...still a damn good showing ...not much has changed but the dirt definitely looked better..... the sand worked ...the jump/straight didn't...but keep trying new things...we enjoy it...still waiting for a good 3/4 way battle at the front....
Now its RV riding smart that made him take second? I guess that was smart riding last week in his heat race also.....
Well past your curfew Toothperry!
I thought James rode great tonight.
Anyone who says James could have gone faster or RV Could have or could not have closed the gap does not know what the hell they are talking about.
We will never know because we are not in the title chase. I do not think there was anything wrong with what Villopoto said because it was 100% accurate. James is not the concern Millsaps is.
Sure he would love to have that extra 3 points but racing is not Black or white, yes or no. It is subjective and unpredictable. If you are Villopoto you have to weigh your title hope options.....
Do I push for the 3 points and potentially crash?
What if I catch James is he going to ride aggressive to get his first win and potentially wreck us both? Hell yes, he ran me wide in the heat race and made me check up.
What if I ride a high pace (enough to keep DM18 behind me) and wait to see if JS7 makes a mistake and get my 3 points that way?
Probably the best option for a guy who is second in points. MAKE SURE YOU BEAT THE POINTS LEADER, Championship racing 101.
James did prove to me he is NOT ALWAYS just the FMOTPT ( Fastest Man on the Practice Track)
I think you are wearing rose colored glasses if you think James has not been able to ride and did great for a guy with a blown up knee and doesn't get to ride or train. That is wishful thinking!
Bubba beat poto straight up for 20 laps. Any fool could see that. Poto was being sore loser on podium. Ya right, he didn't want those extra 3 points. Watch out for Bubba. I think his mojo is back. Erin Bates... Mute button.
Oh yeah, I forgot to give HUGE props to Millsaps because the guy is riding better than ever and he is a SERIOUS title threat, it is his to lose and right now he is showing NO signs of weakness.
If we want to debate something, what is going on with CR22, finally fast in practice and slow in the race? I am confused by his results? Are thoughts of retirement creeping in??
Dungeypoto: people like you should no have access to technology. See you on to catch a predator buddy.
@ PHX767, nobody said Poto did not want the 3 pts. But at what price are you willing to go after them with 8 races left befoer finale.
WHat is your main objective if you are his camp? Oh yeah and if you are smart?
Crazy how important the starts have been, seems like it'll continue. Still too early to call a champ or rule any of the top 3 out. We've burned thru 200 possible points, but there are still 225 up for grabs, so 22 and 26 points back isn't too much. I think it'll tighten up some, but there are still 7 guys that can get a win with a start.
@wiles - you are kidding about JS making up 74 points right? If not i've got some ocean front property in Greenland for sale . . .
@ Tonewall & Motodog77, agreed to both! Track was much better in terms of dirt and lap times. Even though Davi said is was Decievingly slick, it looked better, there were more ruts.
The Walls and the sand with rollers do add to the lap times, still a little one lined but not as bad. A hell of a lot of good racing ahead!
Stewart was simply the best on the night. End of story. James showed some real class last week and this during his interviews... it appears the losses have humbled him a little. Happy for Stewart it just makes things more interesting during an epic season!
Come on CR 22 get your swagger back mate!!
@tooth...yes smart in both..don't remember it EVER being a safe or easy task to pass JS7.......(especially when hes winnin' and especially with the points leader BEHIND you)..it isn't like #7 or his bike are slow ..@phx....sore loser...???? huh ? think he was honest and gave JS7 his props. don't see it...maybe disappointed , maybe wishful thinking on your part.... @red...."beat the points leader" exactly!!!! and move yourself into second...seems smart to me...also nice rides for JB and Trey......
"therealmofo" and the rest of you JERKS who say that Villopoto "let" james win because he was ahead of Millsaps and that's what "really" matters, are just idiots!! RV wanted to win but JS7 was on it tonight!! Anybody who sayds otherwise is a fool......Villopoto needs every point he can get and he was within striking distance of Stewart all night....he just couldn't make it happen!! "therealmofo" is a dumb-ass who just can't give JS credit when he actually does deserve it!! JS7 "STRAIGHT UP" b i t c h e s!!
It is absolutely amazing to me that anybody tries to play tonights race as a "smart move" by Villopoto.....you are truly dumb as A S S if you think that!! RV was right there off the start, and if he is supposedly so much better than Stewart right now, he would have made short work of getting around him....villopoto was 100% beaten straight up by Stewart tonight!! RV needs the points, and once again, started right behind JS7, I honestly thought hre was going to get past him, but he didn't........you dorks can diminish it all you want, but if RV thought he could have passed James tonight, he would have, regardless of what his pathetic podium speech said!! Congratsall the way to James.......that was a solid WIN!!
Why cant Erin put out more..
You guys and your name calling sound like my 9 year old daughter arguing with her friends " James straight up this and Villopoto that " Do you actually read what other people type?
Sorry guys it is simply foolish to think RV1 was going to sell out at all cost to pass James. That is not to say he could of tonight but it is to say that if passing him meant risking a crash and loss of position and points IT WAS NOT THE SMART THING TO DO!. Maybe all your keyboard ego won't allow you to realize it is the CHAMPIONSHIP that pays the BIG BONUS BUCKS! You don't get paid CHAMPIONSHIP MONEY or points for 1 pass in round 8. Your guy won, be happy, but don't be a little girl,
Moment of the night for me was Erin Bates. "So James, what does it feel like to finally get the monkey off your back?" Saywhat? LOL.
"Red54m"= dumb-ass.....keep making excuses for your boy RV dude....he got beat clean and straight up, besides, you make it sound as if passing JS ewasn't worth the "risk"....what the hell does that mean?? If James sucks as bad as you guys imply he does, then James should have been easy work for RV....he was right there behind him!! Damn, why can't you guys just admit what really happened?? It's not the end of the world, ya know?? James Stewart beat EVERYBODY, including Ryan Villopoto tonight.....nobody "let" anybody do anything!! Get real!!
Stewarts win was not a surprise, he was due the way he's been riding lately, it won't be his last, RV would have had to really push it to beat him tonight & I don't think that was going to happen. We'll see next week what happens if RV gets out front, it's going to be interesting at Daytona my favorite SX track as it is an MX style & the boys can hang it out a bit, this track will separate the men from the boys! If JS doesn't win RV will & Wilson.
Ok, so here's what everyone is saying to diminish Stewarts win "He didn't need to pass him" Is that right everyone? Vilopoto didn't need to pass Stewart...ok. Sounds reasonable to someone that has never raced before, but the more factual thing to say would be "Stewart won the race & Villpoto couldn't pass him" He didn't need to pass him...LMFAO!! Whatever, I seen what I seen & that was Bubba pulling off #45.
Congrats to JS7, it was long overdue. Vilipoto tried but could not catch him ans settled in for 2nd, smart riding on his part. And great job Milsaps, you ARE the real deal!!
Seems a few had beer goggles on watching scarin' bates
Reminds me of that old line
"went to bed at 2 with a 10
woke up at 10 with a 2"
Seriously - can't some of you just admit that JS7 straight up beat RV? Some of the RV Nuthuggers just need to stop making excuses. RV doesn't need them. Sometimes it not your night. End of story.
And @Red54m haven't you hit your max amount of posts for one thread dude. Chill out man - your chin's got stray red pubes on it....
Listen up everyone,lets just wait until after LasVegas.If Rv looses the championship by 1-3 points then we will know who was right and who wins this argument.
I think there is one thing that we all can agree to.RV needs to shave of that Bright Orange
high speed cushing for a nutduster of a beard off.I mean,if he was riding for KTM he might want to keep that thing cause that beard would then match that ugly bright orange rear sprocket that KTM runs.
Hey guys, HD Videos from Atlanta! http://motocrossone.blogspot.de/2013/02/ama-supercross-2013-i-video-di-atlanta.html
I for one am amazed James won a race. I thought he was crazy not to get his stick fixed and race again when healthy. I know twenty laps of SX isnt like a full moto outdoors but RV and gang are straight up physical freaks, and they were not able to wear him down saturday night. I'm impressed and have a new respect for him and his program. Kudos!
Oh, and is that class stacked this year? Next year add Roczen, Wilson and Tomac. Wow!
Guys like "Ref-Man" come out of the woodwork when Stewart finally gets a win.. And starts running off at the mouth right away.. Nobody said RV didnt get beat "straight-up" (that famous Stewtard term) But RV said last week he needs to start taking what is given, and not push into a crash and ruin the whole race, like he did at A1.. RV said that LAST WEEK, and I think that is what he did... Could he have caught Stewart sure--I dont think he or Stewart were riding on that ragged edge of their top speed.. Could RV have passed him?? Who knows, maybe--maybe not.. NOBODY is saying RV could have beaten him, just saying RV settled in and took the 2nd place and was satisfied for that race, he was ahead of Millsaps...
@Fred-- If RV loses the title by one or two points, I dont think he will look back at this race as the reason--I think he will look back at A1 and the 16th place he finished as the reason, trying to push too hard and crashing.. Which is what he didnt do at Atlanta..
@RacistPreston--Go away--I never said a single thing bad about your dreamboy--so F@CK-OFF racist, no racist remarks needed here Stewtard!!!
rmf is an angry, angry man.
Are we in the eye of the hurricane?
DM refuses to be written off. I thought he was on the Racer X cover?
Congrats to JS. Gonna be RV's archilles heel.
CR, your fans are demanding one more top step podium.
@preston. Why do you ask preston? What do you think it meant? Try explaining that without trying to sound like a jerk. Bet you can't.
@realmofo A1 was out of RV control.Atlanta was his decision to go for it or not.I'm sure A1 weighted on his mind in ATL.
I know it is hard for people to believe that RV got spanked by Stewie, but it happened. This whole RV just trying to manage the race series is bull. You don't think Ryan wasn't trying to get his lucky charms. Without discrediting Ryan, he hasn't been on his mark all season. Ryan is second in points now and needs to worry about staying in front of Davi.
fred- I bet you got up this morning wondering what was I thinking last night. Tons of fun is no Erin.
Congrats to JS7 on a great ride! It was a much needed win for him. I also feel Saps and RV2 rode great. As far as the debate on whether or not RV2 coulda caught him or not.... does it really matter? And there was nothing wrong with RV's podium interview. I just think people make waaaaay too much out of things and stuff that doesn't matter. Again, props to Stewart and his fans. I'll be the first to admit, it's great when your guy wins. It's one race guys. Stewart proved he can still hang with the tough guys out there, and if he keeps getting holeshots he'll probably get a couple more wins. So will the rest of the top guys. Bottom line, this season, Saps has been the BEST rider. The ball is in his court right now.
On another note, I too really wanna know what's in Reeds head right now? He's a great rider and should at least be on the podium more often. His haters say he's done. I don't think he's done, I just feel he's got some serious soul searching to do. Now that Stewart got a win, I can see Reed really feeling a lot more pressure to get a win himself. I just hope it doesn't end with him hurt in the process.
I think most will agree that RV is alpha dog. He did his best on the track and conditions that it would allow. Yes, his focus is to beat davi but more so to put as many points as possible between him if he gets a chance. If he really was faster and i think not, he would have shown JS a wheel for a few laps and hoped he would make a mistake but he flat out couldn't catch him last night.
DungeyPoto im on here every week
@Fred--A1 was not out of RV's control, he crashed twice on his own, trying to push too hard.. RV said he wasnt going to do that anymore unless it came down to the last few races of the year.. He did say he tried to push Stewart into a mistake in his interview with Jim Holley, but it didnt work so he settled in and took the points.. I think it was smart.. Stew was on, so why push it ...
Ok, let me get this straight, A1 was not out of RV's control, he intended to crash twice? Gotcha!
fred- still fantasing about Erin and trying to get rid of tons of fun today? Out of curiousity, when she showed you that thong, was it like out of a scene from Shallow Hal?
@CZ--NO Dork I'm saying the wrecks wernt caused by a first turn pileup or something he couldnt control.. His wrecks were self induced trying to win the title in one lap..why is simple stuff so hard for guys to grasp?? AND WHY does everyone take crap so personnel about a rider they dont even know?? I NEVER tried to insult any rider in my post, but some TARDS take some things like somebody insulted thier wives.. Its freaking childish..
@CZ Mark Yes it was like the Shallow Hal scene with the help of Woodford Reserve and tardpills.
JS beat RV period. RV did what he had to do and finish in front of DM. If RV wins one race with JS or anyone else between him and DM he can get second the remainder of the races as long as he is in front of DM. The way DM is riding it is going to be a tuff task. Go RV.
@Euromike, Erin Bates question, ROTFLMAO!
It's so hard for the Stewart haters to admit that, he straight up handled everyone at Atlanta,but he did, so deal with it,he still has the speed to get the job done and will do it again several times this year.
@SuperSXfanman/Starplaya4life---I thought you said Stewart was told NOT TO WIN--so Millsaps could win?? What happened to that theory??? Do you still believe that--did you ever really believe that??
rmf: My advice to you is: get a life. I don't care what you think I think I. I'm merely commenting on the races and racers - not inviting you into my life. Find one of your own. Why not focus on the story and/or topic and stop being such a troll?
Just to clarify, going into round 9 next week still holding the points lead by almost a full race, would that not make DM the FMOTP? Not the guy, oh....in what place?
