THE ULTIMATE BENCH RACE
Oh, to have been a fly on the wall (or on the door of one of the rigs, anyway) when James Stewart showed up at the Tampa Supercross and ended up having a one-on-one reunion with his most bitter rival, Chad Reed. The two-time AMA Supercross Champion from Kurri Kurri, Australia, and the two-time AMA Supercross Champion from Haines City, Florida, haven’t been seen anywhere near one another in quite some time, though they will probably forever loom large in one another’s memory. They were both remarkably fast, fiercely competitive, and, thankfully for us fans, at the peaks of their careers for many years together. No one but those two were close enough to hear what exactly they talked about, but it doesn’t matter—we’re just glad they finally got together again so we could thank them both here for so many unforgettable moments.

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.
