Stewart did get a little help from RC himself, who swapped out in the first moto and could only work his way up to third place by moto’s end, behind James and Chad Reed. But Stewart fell himself, so that’s a push.

And that got us to thinking: Who would’ve won the overall in those past 27 races if Carmichael wasn’t there? And that brings us to the topic of this week’s Motosport Outlet Bench Racing Ammo.

As it goes, take #4 out of the equation in those 27 races and we’d have five different winners: Ferry, Vuillemin, Windham, Reed, and Stewart. K-Dub would have the most wins with 14, followed by Chad Reed, who’d have 10. James Stewart, David Vuillemin, and Tim Ferry would have 1 apiece. But now the slate has been wiped clean. Will Stewart start a streak of his own? Tune in to Sunday’s Racer X Webcast of the Kawasaki/Monster Energy High Point National, round one of the Monster Triple Crown of Motocross.

And the last time an Australian finished on the podium in the 250F class was on August 31, 2003 at Steel City, when Chad Reed’s cousin Craig Anderson finished third overall with a 2-5 on his Yamaha of Troy-backed YZ250F. Although it’s been a while, it’s nice to see the color blue back on the podium.
