After a torrential downpour during last year’s Daytona Supercross presented by Honda at the famous Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, fans and riders alike were greeted with perfect weather for this year’s race.
Having led all but the final lap during last year’s race, Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki’s Chad Reed came to Daytona looking for redemption. But after posting the fourth quickest time in practice, things weren’t looking too good for the speedy Australian. In the main event, though, he managed to overcome a bad start to catch the surprise of the day Boost Mobile/ampm/Monster’s Jason Lawrence in the closing stages of the race to secure his third win at the grueling Daytona SX. As for Reed’s series rival, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians/Yamaha’s James Stewart, he was a casualty of a first turn pileup that claimed numerous riders in the main event. Stewart remounted to climb back up to seventh by the finish. Heading into next week’s race in New Orleans, Reed now has a nine-point lead over James.
In the Lites class, after losing last week in Indy, points leader Monster/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Christophe Pourcel took a hard-fought win to extend his growing lead in the East Coast Lites division. As for last week’s winner, Austin Stroupe, he crashed hard on the opening lap and dropped out of the race. Muscle Milk/MDK/KTM’s Martin Davalos finished second while Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki’s Nico Izzi completed the podium.
LITES QUALIFYING
Heat One:
After over coming a bad start, Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki’s Nico Izzi fought through the pack to earn a hard-fought win in the first Lights class heat race, leading Star Racing/Yamaha’s Darryn Durham home. Muscle Milk/MDK/KTM’s Martin Davalos fought tooth in nail with Honda-mounted privateer Josh Lichtle for most of the race before securing third at the finish.
Results:
1. Nico Izzi (Suz)
2. Darryn Durham (Yam)
3. Martin Davalos (KTM)
4. Josh Lichtle (Hon)
5. Matt Goerke (Suz)
6. Matt Lemoine (Yam)
7. Levi Kilbarger (Hon)
8. Brad Ripple (Hon)
9. Jason Thomas (Hon)
Heat Two:
Monster/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Austin Stroupe controlled the second Lites heat race after taking over the lead early on to score an easy win over his teammate, Frenchman Christophe Pourcel. Muscle Milk/MDK/KTM’s Wil Hahn held on for third at the finish. Fourth went to replacement Geico Powersports/Honda rider Daniel Blair.
Results:
1. Austin Stroupe (Kaw)
2. Christophe Pourcel (Kaw)
3. Wil Hahn (KTM)
4. Daniel Blair (Hon)
5. Steven Clark (Suz)
6. Kyle Keylon (Hon)
7. Vince Friese (Hon)
8. Blake Wharton (Hon)
9. Shane Sewell (Yam)

March 8th, 2009 at 12:44 am
hahahaha yessss where are all the jlaw haters now,”hes not even going to make the night show” haha hell ya, on top of that reeds points leader again, couldnt of been a better race haha
March 8th, 2009 at 12:51 am
hah go jlaw!!!!!!!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 1:04 am
my happy ass was on SPEED. im the one doin the ricky bobby in the white hat at the end! tight!
in other news: it looks like everyone forgot what james did for this sport. he changed it..completely…for the better. (not hatin, just sayin.)
March 8th, 2009 at 1:06 am
hahahahaha ALL YOU HATERS!!!!!! J-LAW BABY!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 1:22 am
Everyone who talk so much shit about J-LAW, LOOK AT THE RESULTS !! SECOND PLACE, EH WHAT??? YEPP !!! Great Job.
March 8th, 2009 at 1:39 am
Everyone deserves respect, but some earn disrespect.
At Daytona, Lawrence earned back a little respect, NOT by how well he did race-wise, but by how well he handled himself on and off the track. He acted like a man, for a change. He knew he had nothing left for Reed, and gave him room to pass.
He’s still in the negative, as far as respect, but he just earned a little of his lost respect back. I hope he doesn’t disappoint us by acting like “No-Law” again. Congrats to Lawrence on his great strides at becoming a man!
March 8th, 2009 at 3:00 am
In jlaws last interview he was running stock triple clamps which means stock fork tubes. In these pictures he has aftermarket clamps. Does anyone know if he switched to larger fork tubes? or anything like larger shock shaft? Also in the practice pictures it looked like wey still had stock clamps?
March 8th, 2009 at 3:01 am
J-Law did awesome! It’s good to see him up on the podium.
Sucks that Stroupe ended up falling so far back. He’s my favorite Lites rider & I was hoping he could have a shot at the championship, but I’m not to sure now.
And where did Josh Grant go?! He’s my favorite in the supercross class, and I don’t see him mentioned at all!
March 8th, 2009 at 3:10 am
JS! Blood if you’re reading this, you’ve now got to show the world why you are the fastest and the best rider in the world. The title race is now on and Chad is consistant and riding strong. But f*** that cause i know for No. 7 the top spot is the only spot.
March 8th, 2009 at 3:19 am
happy to see reed out front. very surprised to see j-law come in second in his first 450 race. maybe we’ll see him move up sooner.
March 8th, 2009 at 3:32 am
WOW!!!!! James Stewart got up from that first turn crash and still rode???!! Evan Ricky Carmichael was blown away!
James! what a competitor!!!!He’s gotta be from another planet! And shouts out to J-Law for hanging in there on a 450 (20 laps) Hats of to Chad Reed for the Win.
Josh Hill I was rooting for ya the whole way in your heat race lmaooo.
March 8th, 2009 at 3:54 am
“Flashy Fast Rat” JASON LAWRENCE KICK YOUR ASS! The most stunning AMA Supercross class debut since Stewart-05 … Reed-03 … Windham-97(re) … McGrath-93… Bradshaw-90… Lechien-83 … Hannah-77…
!!!!! J-LAW 2110 AMA SX 450 CHAMPION!!!! Good Job with him TWMX!
March 8th, 2009 at 4:04 am
J.law makes supercross really more interesting!
March 8th, 2009 at 5:05 am
Thank you J-LAW you made my day:)
March 8th, 2009 at 6:42 am
reed reed reed 2for2 new points leader!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 6:44 am
J-Law proved he has talent. At least he realized he couldn’t win and didn’t take out Reed.
Also, anybody know what happened to Josh Grant? Saw that he swapped up pretty bad and they were checking out his leg.
March 8th, 2009 at 7:07 am
What a ride from lawrence, AWESOME!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 7:10 am
Yeah Reed!! J-Law got skills, only wish he would start acting his age though.
March 8th, 2009 at 7:44 am
i think he acted his age when he let reed by because he knows hes not in the chase for the ship
March 8th, 2009 at 7:51 am
awesome race
March 8th, 2009 at 7:58 am
Wheres all the people saying James is the best and no one can touch him, I don’t see any one talking about how good he is now. Chad is now the fastest man on the planet.
March 8th, 2009 at 8:17 am
best race of the year. it was really refreshing to see reed and stewart have to battle through the pack.
wonder if hes gonna get in trouble for cutting the track.in the first turn he cut the inside and went around the pack of downed riders, he didnt really have much of a choice but i bet with his history they might be looking to get him. and the take out milsaps did on alessi i also thought was bs
and for the record jlaw haters hate jlaw cuz of his off track crap, never said he isnt fast
March 8th, 2009 at 8:23 am
last to 7th when he ws so knocked around he didnt know what bike was his? that is in credible buddy! best race ever, Lawrence for president!! gotta love the kid
March 8th, 2009 at 8:44 am
it was way better to hear RC and Emig give out some useful info instead of hearing that tool Ralph Shaheen talk out of his a** the whole time.
March 8th, 2009 at 8:54 am
Yeah really! Every pass that is made Shaheen says ‘Bar to bar!’ come up with something new dude. seriously.
March 8th, 2009 at 9:01 am
I think the supercross points system should be rethought. Reed had 2 wins Stewart has 7. And somehow Reed is winning the championship. Im not a Reed or Stewart fan i just think there should be a little more points for the winner each time.
March 8th, 2009 at 9:21 am
yea I totally agree, that’s bullshit
March 8th, 2009 at 9:26 am
How can people say that Reed is the fastest man on the planet? He has won two little races in a row and everyone is saying how much better he is than Stewart? What about the last 7 races in a row that Stewart won? Doesn’t that mean anything? And the only reason Reed one and that immature little terrorizer J-Law won was because Stewart went down. They can’t even come close when Stewart races a flawless race, as evidenced by the previous 7 races.
March 8th, 2009 at 9:42 am
well then i guees they were better then him tonight(seeing as they didnt go down), dont be so upset cause your favorite rider lost 2 in a row and dont be upset how j-law just shut up all the haters out there. get over it. J-LAW, REED!!!!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 9:45 am
I’m not upset, I just think that people need to realize that one race doesn’t necessarily mean they are the fastest on the planet. I agree they were faster on this one night, but that doesn’t mean they are the fastest on earth.
March 8th, 2009 at 9:59 am
Ok this is the deal; Gotta give BOTH Reed and James credit for their jobs last night. Both of them were WAAAYYY back at the start and came through to put in quality finishes. If Bubba got his bike back faster he would have battled, he must have hit his head hard. Chad just put in his laps to pull out that win, but if Lawrence ever gets his ass in shape, watch out!!! He showed me something last night, great job J-Law!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Gotta give props to Chad for coming back from way back. Gotta give props to Bubba for getting up and pulling out a respectable finish, and I feel if he would had gotten his bike back sooner, he would have been in the mix. But for real, mad respect for J-Law, c’mon kid get serious!!! You are a legit threat!!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 10:05 am
Ruts up daytona, way to keep up guessing. J-laws return? nice
Too bad Bubba knocked himself silly. Looking forward to more suprises, props to Izzy.
March 8th, 2009 at 10:07 am
And one more thing, what kind of pass was THAT Davi??? ” Oh yea we were cool after me and Mike”, yea right!!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Well not taking sides or anything I like Stewart more but Reed has been more consistent with his finishes.
March 8th, 2009 at 10:15 am
We can say Reed is the fastest on the planet becasue everyone always said Bubba was before and now Reed has taken it to him two weekends in a row, also Reed had the fastest lap time at Daytona so please don’t say he only won becasue James fell.
March 8th, 2009 at 10:15 am
Yamahaman is right…what would the race have been like if Stewart hadn’t grabbed so much front brake and taken out half of the field. Even though I am not a Stewart fan Bubba can and did ride the heck out of that wild track, despite a jacked up bike and helmet. For those J-LAW fans, give me a break. One small act of courtesy on his part and you call us all haters. He rode well, but he didn’t come from the back of the pack like Reed or Stewart. These guys are the LeBron and Kobe of supercross. You won’t be talkin next week about J-LAW like he’s the man. Even superstars have an off night. (Luckily, there wasn’t a big tractor tire on that first turn…that would have hurt)
March 8th, 2009 at 10:32 am
GO J LAW, AND REED!!!!!!!!!! massive respect for stewart though. its amazing he came from last to 7th on that daytona track. GO REED!!!!!!!!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 10:36 am
Way to go Reed! Silly mistake by Stewert, icking up Hill’s Bike..
March 8th, 2009 at 10:40 am
when will it be on t.v.? what channel?
March 8th, 2009 at 10:45 am
AWESOME RACE! CRAZY Crash off the start! MAD Props to Dirt Wurk and Ricky for an awesome and DEMANDING track! J-Law is a punk, but I’ll give the dude credit - he can ride a bike (and even more impressive a 450!) Congrats Reed - impressive to come thru the pack. Making for a great season - good job guys!
March 8th, 2009 at 10:48 am
local guy brad ripple makin it to the main!! Represent northern IL!!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 10:57 am
Hop off his nuts man. He ALMOST won one race so wat.
March 8th, 2009 at 11:09 am
and correct me if im wrong, but i am pretty sure stewart did not finish anahiem 1, while reed got 3rd. that is the biggest reason the points is how it is right now
March 8th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Why don’t you guys look at statistics alone to figure out your argument. When stewart does not crash he is 100% on wins, therfore it is hard to argue that any other rider including reed can touch him when it is straight up. I could care less either way, but thought I would settle your silly gripes. Check the paper and the stats! Stewart up, Stewart Wins. End of Discussion!
March 8th, 2009 at 11:12 am
it definitely would have been a more mixed race if stewart did not crash and take down all those key players with him, but i still think reed and lawrence would have had a similar finish to what they got.
March 8th, 2009 at 11:35 am
The only reason Reed won was because Stewart fell. Seriously
March 8th, 2009 at 11:36 am
agree. look at the lap times. j-law still had faster times then everyone but reed and stewart. Look on paper how many seasons bubba started and how many he finshed and didnt finsh due to him crashing. more then reed thats for sure.
March 8th, 2009 at 11:38 am
not the 100% at all coz i remember vancouver 2006 when stewart gets passed by RC by going faster not for stewart fall
March 8th, 2009 at 11:38 am
where are all the j-law haters at now? SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!!!!! J-LAW RULES!!!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 11:50 am
two LITTLE races? 1.Daytona is not a little race, its the big race
2.Stewart cracks under pressure
3.Jlaw is way better than whoever the hell you are and was fastest in practice
4.While stewart is faster than reed, Reed is a better smoother rider, and almost never caves in under pressure, and he forced stewart to fall at indy.
5. Your an idiot and you lose
March 8th, 2009 at 11:56 am
haha, your an idiot too, that stat is only for this year and shows nothing more than the fact that you listen to jeff emig and ralph shaheen
March 8th, 2009 at 11:59 am
the only thing that could have made this race better is if JS would have got Hills bike going and rode off with it, you ahve to wonder when he would have realized it wasnt his and how would he get his back?
March 8th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Yea that’s respect alrite, if you call cutting the first corner for him to get to the position he did respectable.
March 8th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Well, I think Stewart fans should start realizing in this sport it’s not how many times you win, it’s more about consistency. Reed has not finished worse than third!! And if I remember correctly Stewart got a big fat DNF at Anaheim-1. Does anyone remember the year the Patriots went 18-0 and lost the Super Bowl? It’s about the title!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
J-Law with a solid big bike fitness program… Makes Dungy look like the pushover that he is!! I LOVE IT!!! J-LAW is the Tyler Evans that can back up his mouth!!! Factory teams get your contracts ready!!
March 8th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
For all the J-law lovers out there, it’s no surprise he did well, although it’s clear he needs to get in shape. Nobody ever said anything about his talent… the boy can ride for sure! That’s what made me hate him in the first place. Amazing talent, amazing opportunity but constantly trying to throw it all away with stupidity! Us so called haters just wish he would grow up and act his age instead of acting like a freshmen in highschool!!
March 8th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
Umm yea it is a big deal!
March 8th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
It sure the hell does! That just happened!
March 8th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Dear James Stewart!! Blood don’t sweat it, everybody makes mistakes and it doesn’t matter how many times either. You are the best and fastest man in the world on a mx machine. I know you’ll come back and show everyone that the top spot is the only spot for No.7.
March 8th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
are we all so quick to forget Unadilla ‘02? James is and has always been faster than reed.
March 8th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
T.D.214 well said. I am a Jlaw fan, but his stupidity kills me. I root for him, but then he just lets Reed by, that was not respect, that was pussy. Reed would have passed him anyway, but cmon man, fight for what you have earned. Reed is a class act, but Stewart is my man, and he will go on a terror again now and win this thing. He needs to hang back and let reed make the mistakes now, and blow by him on the 18th lap.
March 8th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
JS! just accept the fact that he’s fastest! yeah he rides on the edge and that gets him n trouble sometimes, but definitely the fastest overall. he has the ability to turn it up whenever he wants.
March 8th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
yeah right reed’s the fastest on the planet….maybe third..after the Goat and Stewart. He can’t even run the outdoors and win…where was he when Stewart went undefeated????
Playing with his barbies down under..
March 8th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
hmmm MXON also……reed sucked..
March 8th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Damn most of you these comments are from some morons for sure. Reed was better than Stewart last night. Stewart crashed; Reed didn’t. Reed still came from the back to win. Lawrence rode awesome and I’m not a fan at all. It was a great race.
March 8th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
nope thats for stewarts entire sx career look it up
March 8th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
I think Stewart is actually down 11 points now…
March 8th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
dungy had a second last year in the big bike class. and J-LAW has yet to beat him this year. j-law was fast this weekend and what did dungy have to do with any of this?
March 8th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Your retarded, Lawrence cut the track at the beginning and was tbe beneficiary of a pile up… noone said he couldnt ride a bike… we all just said he was a tool.. .
March 8th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
stewart caught his tire on a tuff block at indy… reed had nothing to do with it other than he was on the same track… tool
March 8th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
I saw that too. While everyone was figuring out what happened, J-Law cuts the whole mess and gets out front. Classic
March 8th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
ZA are you really smokin crack??? stewart and j-lae each had a faster lap time than reed…. j-law in qualifying and steweart wwas rrunning low 1:08s thru most of the main reed ran a high 1:08 on one lap I dont think he is the fastest man on the planet. sorry bud
March 8th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
HEll yea j-law made all them haters dig there foots out of there asses and eat em. Stewart isnt consistent. Is he fast hell yea but cnat take pressure and plus dont think he knows how to use a front brake. LAst week in Idy he crashed the first time in the turn by grabbin to much front brake and if you watch the video from the first turn crash at daytona(which he caused) becuase he grabbed to much front brake and the front end slid out and started the spill when i think short or tedesco ran into the back of him.
March 8th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
keep it up matt lemoine great result keep your head down!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
thats called presure dumba$$, Stewart messed up and clipped the tuff block b\c Speedy Reedy was puttin the pressure to him.
March 8th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
mabye getting some highlights or a perm. Reed is very fast, no doubt about that… its just that james is faster.
March 8th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
last night, when it was goin down
March 8th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
ya for sure that guy sucks at announcing so doesnt emig. they need new announcers
March 8th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
GO J-LAW!!!! enouph said
March 8th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
no way,,carmichael is the only one who can keep james honest in pure speed.
March 8th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
So practice suddenly matters more in the main? And check your facts before you start talking
March 8th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
contract?? r u kidding me? If I were a team manager there is NO way I would sign JLAW. That boy has about oh a lot of growing up to do.
March 8th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
chad reed is the man james stewart just cant handle the pressure gets to nervous and wreaks he is overrated.
j-law ur just a bad ass u tell people how it is and back ur shit good job
March 8th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
J-LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
March 8th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
I’m a Reed fan, but he’s not faster than Stewart, I think Reed himself would agree with that. That slick grass (which is a joke and should be taken out for supercross) took james out. We all know who would have won had there not been grass.
March 8th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
ya he did only beet james stewart, windam, vililpodo, millsaps, short, and all the other veterans…so what…big deal
March 8th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
ya dude he shouldn’t have cut the track, he should have just smashed right through the heap of downed riders… that would have been the respectable thing to do.
March 8th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
J-law rocks, and all of you J-law haters really suck.
Keep it up buddy, and win the rest of the lites west coast’s races!
Spain.
March 8th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
but everytime someone matches his speed he goes down tryin to go faster…thats a fact look it up
March 8th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
haha…damn straight it did.
March 8th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
get off his nuts man congrats to the kid but i think a few to many people are bit hard up jlaw??? You think??
March 8th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Look up your facts before talking smack. Reed’s fastest time in the main was just a hair faster than Stewart’s, but he did have an f’d up bike.
March 8th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
LOL Bro thats because you’re NOT a team manager. Do you know how often this kid is in the spotlight?? Great FREE advertisement. Now, if I was a team manager, I’d just keep his ass in check, while still giving him his freedom that he obviously loves to have, and can obviously perform while still having.
March 8th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
well duh! why wouldnt you just go ripping through a tangled mess of bikes and injured riders … who knows you might even be lucky enough to catch one of their fingers in your sprocket
its common courtesy! … jlaw is the man
March 8th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
no kidding… anyone could beat those guys, even my arthritic grandmother who is terminally ill and only has one leg could haul those guys on my beat up 50 … sheesh
March 8th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
stewart sucks
March 8th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
I HAVE A HARD-ON FOR JLAW TOO!
March 8th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
I love how everyone hates on the fastest riders in motocross. When Ricky came in and was spanking everyone all the same clowns like the ones on this site bashed him and tried to bring up any little mistake he made, and now they are just looking for some sort of flaw in stewart! It’s humorous really. Any takers on a Big Bet who will win more supercross titles in a career! Stewart or Reed?….. I didn’t think so?
March 8th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
its on the Speed CH. check your local listings…
March 8th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
it all about u. u think u know. what u always say. it all a big lie. u think ur special. we no ur not. don’t tell me who i should be or do. so shut up, shut up, shut up. don’t wana hear it… “am i talking to the wrong person?” “i thought something was up!”
March 8th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Wow, you people are a bunch of morons.
Seriously it’s pretty obvious Stewart is faster than Reed.
I really don’t like either of them, but for people to say Reed is the fastest man on earth, you should probably go jump off of a cliff because that is idiotic.
And all the J Law haters, why don’t you get off the kids back. Give the kid his credit.
March 8th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
jlaw had the 3rd fastest lap time in the main kid is fast, period
March 8th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Stewart should buy himself a kawi with EFI. If he just had a EFI he would have been much faster for sure. Yamahas cant handle any crash
March 8th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
He should have just held it pinned through those downd pussies and used them for traction. I dont know about you but i miss the onld J-Law.
March 8th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
Are you serious? Whats your definition of being a man? A lil respect? Still in the negative? For what? Doing what most guys his age do and still run a pro motocross career. Boo-Hoo, hes not the mainstream, good boy go lucky guy u want up front. Just keep your comments to yourself, and may a meteor hit your house, and kill your pets.
March 8th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
IMMATURE LITTLE TERRORIZEr?!?!?!? AHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAH WHAT ARE YOU A SOCCER MOM?!?!?! WHAT IS HE TERRORIZING?!?!? o words hurt so bad….wow this world is going to s*** with progressive people
March 8th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
What would you have done? You can’t tell me you wouldn’t have done the same thing. Besides he only cut the track a couple feet. Stop hatin’.
March 8th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
I dont care what anyone says J-Law is the shit, he goes to show you dont need tons of money and sponsors to get top 3 in suppercross race. And just goes to show that he is a great rider to all of those who think differnt!
March 8th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
Ya well my Yamaha works fine and I crash all the time!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
If I had a team it would be Lawrence, HIll, and Villopoto! THese guys are the future!
March 8th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
ya its nice to hear some experts talk about whats going on. not have some guy play stupid and constantly ask jeff dumb questions
March 8th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
First off let me say that Domino is a complete tool what was j-law going to do stop put his kickstand down and help clean up the yard sale in the first turn that stewart caused? yeah you never have been in a first turn pile up before or never raced a bike so you would not know what to do anyway shut it. oh yeah clean goody good boy Tim Ferry took the same line around the the mess that j-law did why are you not calling him out on it?
March 8th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
DOMINO
March 8th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
DOMINO is a tool Ferry did take the same line what about him?
March 8th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
whys is every1 a j-law hater!!?? get over it hes the sickest
March 8th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Davi did wrong the way he took out Alessi. He should have been docked a position. J-Law WOW!!!!!! Unbelivable he must be attending AA and NA. If he keeps his act together he will have a great place in MX/SX.
March 8th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Hahha. Stewart got on Hills bike. That was so funny. Hill was tryin to tell him but he wasnt listening. Dude was dazed LOL. They shoulda let him win the race on Hills bike. I have never seen that in racing
March 8th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
not to mention hes a privateer?
March 8th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
alessi woulda done the same to millsaps
March 8th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
give me a break lawrence had to everyone would of did the same lawrence was sherdin
March 8th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Do any of you little punks go to school or do just sit and sniff fumes all day. First, learn to spell then use proper grammar when you write, if you can. Without the big first corner wreck, J-Law would not have finished where he did. Wel eye butter get going duds I foget who to write and spel. totally sick for sure.
March 8th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Seriously he only won cuz James fell. Stewart had the second fastest lap time, consistently ran fast times the whole race with a jacked up front wheel. i doubt reed would have even got up after that wreck. much less make it to 7th
March 8th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Ok anonymous, your comments were ridiculous. And yes, two little races. 1. Compared to Stewarts 7 wins in a row, it is two little races.
2. Stewarts cracks because he is balls to the wall, not that he is feeling pressure.
3. I know J-Law is better than me. If I was better then him I would be making millions a year riding a motorcycle.
4. Stewart doesn’t need to force Reed to crack because he knows that Reed is always behind him, hence the 7 in a row. And it would have been 8 if Reed had not have ran into Stewart at Anaheim 1.
5. This comment was great, what are you, a 2nd grader? I’m an idiot? Are you really not smart enough to come up with anything else?
March 8th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
what happened to josh grant?
March 8th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
great race.. great coverage by TWMX.. thanks guys
March 8th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
wow motobro
i bet your fast
‘these downed pussies’
i bet your fast ‘bro’
do you have an SRH spade on your front number plate? you would probably blow jlaw if u got the chance haha
March 8th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
Did anyone else see the really cute mom at the race surrounded by five mini J-Laws? I mean they had to be clones, rat hair and all. Really sick!
March 8th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
cmon reed you are the man love your style and Jersey
March 9th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Brendan (assuming it’s lutes), let the shit talkers talk and stick to giving us quality pieces to read.
March 9th, 2009 at 12:42 am
damn bet all u jl haters feel dumb…everyone that was saying hed be lucky to make top 10..funny just wait till the rest of the season when he keeps on doing good im callin top 3 the rest of the races
March 9th, 2009 at 2:05 am
yeah, onthepipe during the main reed set a fastest new laptime, dumbasss
March 9th, 2009 at 7:59 am
Glad to see J law up front and doing what he has to for his sponsers and all. as for james the story stays the same if he keeps it on two wheels he will most likly win i mean come on did you see him grap Hills bike? he was out of it totaly. to then come back and take a 7th is really somethint to say and all that with no visor and a bent front fender. I hope to see a sweet race next weekend all the SHIT is making to be a great year for the sport.
March 9th, 2009 at 8:52 am
j-law cut the track–he should be smacked
March 9th, 2009 at 9:08 am
hey uh dumbass
all those veterans you speak of were down in the first corner
ever think thats the reason he got second
March 9th, 2009 at 9:10 am
he crashed out in the lcq
March 9th, 2009 at 9:11 am
so this is how i see it. bubba is way faster then reed he has always been faster then reed. and i have tones of respect for bubba because he is the fastest man alive on a motorcyle but i hate watching bubba race because he blows every one a way. iloved the battles. but with bubba out ther you only get a battle every 1 in 7 races it sucks. so this is why i love reed i wish he was as fast as bubba so we can see more battles up front i’m rootin for reed because i want battles. and personaly i think half of you guys that cheer for bubba only cheer for him because he is the best not because you like him.
March 9th, 2009 at 9:12 am
ill give it to reed though i hate him with a passion. he rode a good race. but he only wins when steawrt crashes. name one time stewart did not crash and reed beat him straight up. if you can prove he has beaten bubba with out bubba crashing i will send you anything you want.
March 9th, 2009 at 9:15 am
How is it one of our best still makes 85cc mistakes?
Watch him in slow mo (we still luv u Bubs..) and his ass is on the back of the seat grabbing more than two hands full of front break. He should think……….. Grass bad technic+WORKS brakes=Taking out the whole field and josh hill runs over your head.
4fity
March 9th, 2009 at 9:23 am
oh yeah go to page four and look at page four and in the pictures look at pic 16 that makes me smile:)
March 9th, 2009 at 9:28 am
jlaw rocks, he had improve alot
March 9th, 2009 at 9:31 am
Well you see, I feel I just need to say this. I was in like second to last place for the start of the main, I think maybe Tim Ferry was the only one behind me. Luckily I was almost last because that gave me plenty of time to see teh big pile up and drive directly to my left completely avoiding everybody and turning my horrible start into a great start. Unlike Tim Ferry who did cut the track as well, but only around 1 tuff block and got back on right after the pile up, like I was supposed to do. All I’m sayin is that if bubba didnt wreck everybody upfront I would have came around the first turn in like 18th and finished my race in 12th because there is no way i could have made up all that time. You really should watch the start again, you’ll see what realyl happened.
March 9th, 2009 at 10:02 am
I do not understand all the disrespect. Daytona showed the best of everyone. Stewart for knocking himself silly, trying to get on Hill’s bike, and making it to 7th on a cracked bike with no visor and a rung bell. Reed for getting a terrible start and whacking the whole field with scary fast final lap times (he took away a 12 second margin to Lawrence in 4 laps). I am not a Lawrence fan but when he realized Reed was faster in qualifying and the main event he allowed Reed by so as to not screw with the Championship fight. It was very un-Lawrence and it might be the first sign he is starting to grow up and change his ways. It was a great race and the class showed by the racers was good for the sport. These online groups tend to be people loving one racer and crapping on everyone else. Daytona allowed every fan, no matter which racer you like, to bring away something good and positive.
March 9th, 2009 at 10:38 am
The other Brendan you see posting on here isn’t me. I do let you “shit talkers” talk and comment all you want without getting involved. When it’s me posting, it shows my photo and my full name like it does directly above this comment…
March 9th, 2009 at 10:42 am
yea and im sure thats really lawrence. i doubt jlaw could write a whole paragraph.
March 9th, 2009 at 11:17 am
jlaw had the fastest lap time, look it up
March 9th, 2009 at 11:18 am
811 josh litchle is crazy fast through the whoops crazy
March 9th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Jlaw clearly cheated. He cut the track on the start and advanced postions by doing so. He is already on probation.
March 9th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Ralph does a great job for tv supercross I like Jeff Emig too but you gotta laugh I mean I,m in tears everytime Jeff STUDDERS lmaooo when he does that! lmaooo…….Sorry Jeff that sh– is soooo funny.!!
And Ohh! I swear jeff is in love with Carmichael , notice that twinkle in his eyes next time the goat is standing next to him lol!.
March 9th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
how is reed the fastest man on the planet when josh hill beat him in the qualifier
March 9th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Wow, don’t you guys have anything better to do than fight about J-Law?
March 9th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
They are all riding on the same track so the better rider one because he diddnt crash.
March 9th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Stewart has been the fastest rider on the planet for a while. Reed on his new Suzuki has gained a lot of ground on him now. The difference is Reeds been much more consistent n that is whats going to win the championship is him being consistent the rest of the season. I just wanna see these two ride both with a good start it hasnt happened yet through the first 10 races because Reed has gotten bad starts or Stewarts crashed and Reed won two of those three races.
March 9th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
j laws the sh*t the sport needs exciting people like him in it so its not the same boring stuff
March 9th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
AFTER EVERYONE THAT COUNTS FELL! KEEP SWINGING ON THIS FA&$ NUTZ! YOU ALL SOUND LIKE JASONS BOYFRIENDS! HA HA
March 9th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
“james stewart just cant handle the pressure”????
Quit taking those pills, they’re no good for you. The guy just won EVERY SINGLE OUTDOOR MOTO and won 7 out of 10 SUPERCROSS ROUNDS. For all you guys saying that some other guy is faster that him,stop trying to get some excitement in your lives just by making up stories and wake up…
…AND THEN WRITE. j-lAW is a clown, but a faaast one. Hope to see him up there!
March 10th, 2009 at 1:00 am
Wins are good, but not as important as points. Reed has finished every race in the top 3, if I’m correct. More consistent than Stewart, so far. Stewart is IMO still the fastest, but when you push the limits, even a small mistake can get ugly. Case and point: Daytona, Turn One. And simply missing a gear at the wrong time can cost you 25 points, A1. Stewart still has 7 races left to gain more points. So, mathematically, it’s still possible for JS to get the red plate. Either way, the racing is great this year! I just want to see this battle go all the way to the last lap in Vegas!
March 10th, 2009 at 2:26 am
anyone know what happened to grant?
March 10th, 2009 at 8:21 am
I think that all yall that think that jlaw is awesome are stupid, jlaw is a punk and he is a bad sport he goes out and gets drunk we he should be practicin hes not a racer hes a partier
March 10th, 2009 at 8:44 am
Yea watch him try a backflip and miss
March 10th, 2009 at 11:45 am
how dumb are you anonymous last week you said you hate him now you you think he is sickest? you f*ckin smart!
March 10th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
He’s only in the spotlight when he’s not completely banned from racing. Which knowing him is just a race away.
March 10th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
That would be sweet, other than villopoto.. hes a tool
March 10th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
we finally see bubba in heat 1
March 10th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
JLAW IS A F*CKING RETARRD!!!
March 11th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Reed is 11 points ahead of Stewart now, not 9. Also Stewart caused the crash in turn 1 “Stewart, he was a casualty of a first turn pileup that claimed numerous riders in the main…” Start stating the facts instead of covering for Bubba’s mistakes.
Take the SPIN off !
March 12th, 2009 at 12:03 am
do you even watch the races or are you so bias you cant see straight. when stewart has even a little pressure he makes mistakes. to get a clue watch the indy supercross. he fell twice once trying to chase reed and again when reed pressured him. OPEN YOUR EYES
March 12th, 2009 at 9:10 am
J-LAW, ROCK N´ ROLL
March 12th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Now, the series is looking to be fun. I stopped watching it when one guy wins all the races. Now it’s entertaining.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
No doubt that J-law has a lot of talent but enough about him. Bubba almost gets on the wrong bike in the main yet he still finish’s 7th. Bubba by far has the most talent in AMA right now and probably the best since Supercross started.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
yea lets run all of those guys over and might kill one but
u know cant cut a track kill someone instead u dumb
asses
March 12th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
i think jlaw earned respect from daytona. beleive me. i wanted to smack him before but i think he finally learned his lesson.
March 12th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
You just want to qualify, not kill yourself for the main event winning a pointless race.
March 12th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Bendan Lutes, do you have any pictures of windham in that sick gear and the black bike? I want a cool picture for a wallpaper not just a lame behind riding pic.
March 12th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
pasttime is spot on to what I noticed. Stewart caused the first turn pile up and transworld reports try to make it look like it was not his fault. It could be caused by anyone, any race. This time it was BUBBA with to much front brake and front end wash out that caused many good riders to crash. Tell it like it is. Are y’all confused or just excuse makers for Stewart??????
March 13th, 2009 at 9:17 am
hey i want to say that james is the best nobody can catch him inless he falls so reed u mine as well ouit
March 14th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
j-law could have won that easy but out of respect he let reed pass him-j-law has alot of respect for the sport period-
March 19th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
go chad reed go ricky carmichel go travis pastrona
