DMXS Tonight
Well, it’s basically a three horse race, but what a race. If the top
three fall with more than 10 laps to go and they can start their bike,
they will still make the podium. That makes fighting for wins and that
huge three-point difference back to second place even more important.
At this rate, you can’t just make the box and coast to a championship.
You will run out of points and races in a hurry. I hate to hype up a
series just to be let down, but put your game faces on because it’s
time to play.
One of the biggest and most pleasant surprises in the Lites class has
to be Ryan Villopoto. He backed up his podium ride at Anaheim 1 with
more impressive speed at Phoenix. Don’t let that disarming smile and
his pasty skin tone fool you. That kid is as competitive as anyone on
the track and will rip your throat out and watch you die. OK, maybe
that was a bit much, but Ryan is a racer at heart. He has worked his
entire life to get here and now the riders he battled during his
amateur career are in his shadow for a change. Ryan will join us
tonight for his take on the incredible start to his rookie SX season.
After more than 5000 votes, David Pingree made yet another podium in is
post-racing career. He was voted one of DMXS’s all time favorite guests
and for good reason. After being a guest for almost six years now,
David always brings his sharp witted humor and skewed prism of the
world to the dance. Ping will give us his take on the SX season thus
far and update any news from the left coast. Behind every great rider
you will find their faithful wrench. Jeremy Albrecht has paid his dues
in this sport and his results and professionalism reflects that hard
work. J-Bone has not skipped a beat with the Team Kawasaki’s switch to
the 450. Other teams had much more testing time with their thumpers,
but he obviously has Stewart’s steed ready for battle. He will give us
a behind the scenes’ look at racing after the checkered flag waves, and
they prepare for the next race. Team Faith’s Kevin Johnson swept the
AMA Arenacross in Baltimore last weekend. Kevin has been around the
sport for a very long time and is one of the nicest guys in the pits. A
lot of racers are making a good living in both AX series and the talent
and racing has been good too. We will see what his plans are after his
series wraps up here in a few weeks.
Our love and respect for the Privateer continue with the weekly Wonder
Warthog Racing segment dedicated to the blue collar racer. This week we
welcome SoCal Racings’ Clark Stiles and Moore Racings’ Billy Swapp.
With a name like Swapp, he better be good! They represent the Most
Improved Riders for the week. Head hog Scott Kandel will be on to
explain the program this year and the rules for the Privateer of the
Year honors. Welcome back WWR!
Every Wednesday night at 9pm
