An exciting season down to the wire. You can't ask for anything better, fireworks and all! Congrats to James! My son loves him so he's happy, and that makes me happy!

So, they pull Chisholm out o fthe race in SLC but not REED at Vegas?

Such a flagrant cowardly move from Reed last night on Stewart!! They should have pulled him out like they did Chisholm the week before! Do I sense favortism on the judges part??

By the way!

I know this championship is over but I'm already longing for more Reed / Stewart action. First congrats to Stewart, winning 11 of 17 races is incredible. Second, Chad proved all season to be a powerful competitor, without Chad this wouldn't have been down to the wire.

Congrats

Chad reed is a dirty rider. i can't believe he tried to take Bubba out and was so blatant about it. he should have been taken off the track for what he did, REED LOST A LOT OF RESPECT FOR WHAT HE DID, IF BUBBA HAD DONE THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF THE TRACK. i believe reed was dirty in A-1, when he took Bubba out, but he still didn't win. Reed only won the championship last year because Bubba was hurt. Josh Grant is going to be Bubbas major competition next year.

Officials got it right in SLC

What Chisholm did was wrong and everyone knows it. It went far beyond the typical brake checking we see all the time. It was a great race up to that point. Every other lapped rider had stayed clear of Reed and Stewart. Chisholm pursued Reed into the turn and T-boned him. Stewart may have won anyway, but we'll never know.
