Think I told you this last year, but I’ll say it again: absolutely love the Racer X Infield Access videos! The ground-level perspective, roaring engines, brake squeals, and even the spectator or mechanic who steps in front of the action makes me feel like I’m there. Keep ’em coming!

Thanks, Nate, the credit goes to Tom Journet of Team Fried fame, who is helping us out this summer—and I agree, he’s doing a great job! DC

think it would be cool to get an interview with James Stewart about the development of the scrub. What did you do the first time he did “whatever” that made him think it would be a usable tool? Was it planned or accidental? What was that “whatever?” Did he crash the first time? How often did he crash practicing the technique? How long from the time he learned it until he used it in a race? What kind of jumps did he practice it on to perfect it?

Great idea, Stan! The 20th anniversary of the moment that he unveiled the scrub happens at the upcoming Budds Creek National in August, and James will be there to discuss it on MAVTV as he co-hosts the race with our own Jason Weigandt. DC
