Already an anti-hero in the off-road world, Steward Baylor is adding to his own legend by taking on the factory teams with his Rocky Mountain Red Bear Kawasaki team.

Whether you love him or hate him, Steward Baylor has a unique ability to evoke passionate responses from nearly everyone he encounters. He’s the type of person who isn’t afraid to overturn the apple cart. Hailing from South Carolina, Stew prefers to do things his way, which is perhaps why he remains one of the biggest attractions in GNCC racing. He’s a rider with a bit of showmanship. In the words of Yamaha’s Donnie Luce, during Steward’s AmPro Yamaha days, “We don’t care where he finishes—Steward Baylor sells motorcycles!”
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
