ROUND 2!

Is it me or was last weekends opening round of the AMA SX series off the hook? It is always exciting to see who brings what to the table, but no one had any idea what was in store. We all knew that Reed and Stewart would be factors, but who didn't think once Stewart got the holeshot that it was all over? Reed, looking very comfortable on his new ride, was able to string some great laps together and actualy re-take the lead! I was floored! This normaly doesn't happen as Stewart has always seemed to be on another level as far as speed. It looked as though we were going to have an awesome battle on our hands when disaster struck and Reed hit the rear of Stewart when he made a mistake. They collided in a section where it took full commitment from both riders and thankfully no one was hurt. Sitting in third and getting the race win on a platter was Josh Grant. Grant, in his first race for the new Joe Gibbs Racing / Toyota/ Yamaha was able to put it on cruise control for the win. With only 2 laps remaining though Grants' rear wheel sucked a tuff block cover up and nearly killed his machine. If you were there live or watching it on speed channel I think you could tell that thousands of people were holding their breathe to see if he would make it. He did and a new "first time winner" is in the books!

So, tonight in Pheonix AZ, everyone will be lined up again to battle it out. I know I will be glued to the TV as it will air on Speed T.V. at 5 PM EST Tomorrow (SUN. 1/11)
