Not unless Stewart crashes every race.  Reed is fast (not as fast as Stewart) and if he can get behind him, it looks like he can pressure him into making mistake.  Stewart is way faster though, he crashed twice in indy, and still caught up to Reed by the end.  I hope the rest of the races going fowrwad have as much drama and excitement as Indy.

That was a great ride by Stewart on Sunday. Looks like its his championship to lose.

That ride by Alessi in heat one was looking pretty good too. Wish I could ride as fast as him.

I was pretty disappointed that Reed couldn't win one in a straight fight. The last race seemed to suggest that Stewart is way faster but only riding on the very ragged edge. Reed on the other hand seemed to be able to keep pace with Stewart (not quite but it was relatively close) when Stewart was leading but not when he's out front (which kind of sucks). I think if Reed can get good starts and Stewart really had to ride that hard to catch/stay ahead, he may end up injured but I don't think Reed is capable of winning from the front without at mistake from Stewart.

Just about everyone else in the race seemed to be riding 250s or something.  Huh?

Stewart seems to be one of those riders that have a sort of riding genius. but im Hoping that some of the other top riders can give him a run for the money & Chad Reed seems to be the closest rider there is. But I dont think Chad will win this season. Id just like to see some closer racing because it gets a little boring when One guy dominates and everybody else is an also ran. Last year Stewart was 22 for 22 in the outdoor circuit, but it was sort of boring as well.

SPOILER ALERT!!!  Don't read on if you didn't see the race yet!!!!!  SPOILER ALERT!!!!




Reed looked good last night.  Stewart screwed the pooch in turn one but salvaged some points in the end.  I'm glad it's shaping up to be more interesting than the MX Season.

Looks like everyone is getting their respective bikes dialed-in, race fitness at a peak and James is having to push the Yami a little harder then he was the first 9 (Cool races.  Showing a few kinks in the armor.

Lawrence was fun to watch for those opening laps.  Reed reeled him in and mad eit look easy. Chad has a shot at this thing in a real way.

And yes, Reed and Stewart were all ridiculous through the whoops.

Last race of the season this Saturday night and somehow Stewart has eeked out a 6 point lead. applause

Should be a fun race to watch.  It's been fun watching Reed and Stewart battle all season.  Can't really decide who to root for.
