Hi guys and GuyB,
So seriously...the truck race was bad ass. I'd never been to one before and I went kind of halfheartedly, but after standing in the middle of the track for about 30 seconds of practice, I was SUPER PUMPED. Definitely a lot cooler than I was expecting.
Shadowing Bubbs was so much fun - there's a lot of fly on the wall footage that Stewart fans will dig.
It's over half and hour long.... hope you guys like it.
thanks,
swap

If you don`t like it or you don`t care then don`t watch it. No problemo.
Looks like they had a really good time.

thanks again for a very good vid to watch...

Good video. Looks like ha had a lot of fun, I would kill to get to do that myself. However, is he racing in Vegas or is he sitting it out and this is the only way to keep his name in the press?

And yet there is no noise about sound restrictions for closed course racing. Strange that MX is the only closed course sport that seems to have that issue.

I dont know if he is in for the Monster Cup....haven't really heard anything on him.

But as for that truck race he prolly did it for Red Bull & Oakley...
They are both huge personal sponsors of his...so maybe he did it to please them
and have a bit of fun at the same time...

I have to say that was 10,000x better to watch than his reality TV shows. That was actually reality!! Awesome. They should fire the whole production crew and all the camera guys and just hire Swap. Seriously reality TV needs a reality check.

Yeah those trucks are so bad ass. Seeing them on TV is nothing like being there in person. During James' race, I think three cars flipped ass over tea kettle at separate times. I remember thinking, "man, I feel really unsafe down here." haha

James is IN for Monster Energy Cup...

maybe its just me but......
being this the week of mxdn where all country teams line up to race theirs best motocross racers,a race that most mx fans find as the race of the year, i would expect to see something about it at transworldmotocross
so its not relevent for them to show support to their home team, so they are better off with some chick and a truck race of a guy that doesn't even race motocross and just wanted to make a reality show out of mxdn.....
but to come in here, where we the mx fans are all pumped for the mx race and are all talking about it, and impose that choice of editing is really LAME.....!!!!!

That's because you can't go down to your Dodge dealer and by a 900 hp pro 4 truck to drive at your neighborhood track. The problem is caused by so many local racers and riders with loud exhaust, not from the 12 pro races we have a year.

Come on, you're smart enough to figure this out right?



BTW, GREAT footage Swap. I wonder if kids grow up now saying that when they grow up they want to be a Red Bull sponsored athlete. Sure would be nice to just show up to a race like this with full factory support just for the heck of it.

I was watching this last night and saw the #7 RedBull truck who won the race but it was someone else? Track looked cooler that usual and I liked seeing them go through the stutter/whoop section.

Had to go to sleep so I never did see James, was it the same truck?

I’ll have to watch the vid later @ home.
Thanks Donn

It was this picture from Monday Kickstart.

Also back at the races was Red Bull KTM rider Andrew Short, who is on the mend after a crash during testing sidelined him for the remaining races of the year. Check back soon for an interview with Shorty and hear his plans for next year.
