Ronnie Mac stole the show at Red Bull Straight Rhythm this past weekend. After disposing of Trevor Piranha in the special event race, Mac decided to enter the Lites Class, where he took on Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull KTM’s Jordon Smith.
Mac was no match for Smith, who cruised to an easy 2-0 win. Ronnie later told us that he was offered $2 million to let “Michael Jordan” win the race.
“Went into the main event, wasn’t quite confident with the machine but the first time was just a test run,” he told us. “Then we got out there and I was ready to win the rest of the event. They came in on me and Red Bull knew that I was coming and they said, “Hey, you got to let this Michael Jordan win this race.” So I let Michael Jordan win, and they offered me $2 million to let him win. So I took the $2 million, and left.”
