If he keeps going like this. Anyone catch that on TV, if he keeps going like he is, he will be 3rd only behind RC & Hannah @ end of season. I still consider him a pretty young rider, that's a damn impressive statistic & above some very impressive company.

There are a bunch of people on 22 eh. Stewart will be back at RedBud. They'll probably finish the season tied on overalls I'd say.

It's pretty ridiculous that RC has 76 (or so) overalls. Mind blowing

Good for Dungey, he's worked his butt off, he's a good guy, and he's a legit elite rider.

Stewart should be back soon, wins will be a LOT harder to come by. But I agree, very impressive stat.

...and he is coming back at the perfect time, the next 2 races are the best tracks on the circuit IMO (RedBud / Millville)

While we are on the subject of The Dungenator, check out this bitchen pic by Gibby:



and another...his body positioning is textbook, like a modern day DB.

Hey OC, those photos are sweet, and are picture perfect body position, but thats part of the problem for me. It is boring watching him ride around by himself being ultra smooth, and it looks like he is not trying. I know that he is busting his ass, but it just doesnt look like it.

Dungey at Millville is gonna be tough to beat even if JS7 is back.

I saw that on the braodcast and he is up there with some great riders. He really needs to be beating James straight up to squash any doubts about him being as great as he is.

I don't see Dungey risking too much for 3 points against a guy he's leading the points by so much. He'll probably follow Stewart around again and wait to see if he crashes. If Dungey has to take second then he will, way too smart to do otherwise.

I think it could be better, with Dungey riding better than the first couple races. The last race it really looked like KTM had the bike figured out & I don't see Stewart picking up any speed during his time off. We will see, but I imagine Dungey will have more for Stewart when he returns.

The only thing that could throw a wrench in that is the Championship. Dungey has it locked up with just 2nds the rest of the year. He's a smart rider & won't throw it away, he'll pick-up wins when they present themselves.

As opposed to Stewarts wadding himself up every third race due to riding over his head to go that fast. Yeeeeeah.... your right, Dungey isnt as good. Man, sometimes this site is comical. If someone is crashing as much as Stewart has been.... they are riding beyond thier skill level. Period.

That's how I've always thought about watching him. Clearly, he is an amazing rider, one of the best ever, but I just want to see him step up and take it, from JS, RV, and CR. He's beat those guys at times, but taken a lot seconds. His strategy is working again this year though.

He is an incredibly hard working champion that deserves all the accolades he receives. Hope to see JS7 back at full
strength so we can see some battles up front.

Stewart did look great the first 2-1/2 rounds.....and I'm sure he'll look great again when he comes back........the thing with Dungey is.....he very seldom ever pushes pasts his own limits. He's going to have a long and healthy career going at it the way he does. In the history of this sport....there are plenty of riders who could have taken advantage of this concept as well if they would of just backed it down a notch or two. For the sake of " the title"..........winning everything + ( lets say ) ....missing 2 or 3 races.....will never earn you a title.

I do Hope James comes back at the next race....because I want to see RD get pushed to try and run that pace. The dude is really starting to mesh with that bike and is going to do nothing but stronger from here on out.

Yep, He's only 2 off of Carmichael's win rate at this point in his career.

That's pretty nuts! Although Dunge will always be RV's bitch, his 450 resume is stacking it up. It feels like Dunge has been in the 450 class for ages. Crazy to think RV has only completed one full season outdoors on the 450.

That's saying it was boring to watch windham, reynard or huffman ride too. Not faulting you for it at all, its just your preference as a fan.

Funny that only a year ago his decision to go orange was highly questioned. Now it looks like the best decision he ever made.

We will have to wait until there is a little more green, yellow, and red in the picture to see how well the orange
decision turns out. I think he could be riding blue and still winning right now, but so far it has worked out for him.
