Stewart was talking, in his post-race interview, about wanting to break win records now that the "championship is out of reach"...but is it really? Some of you guys are much better about adding points and that sort of thing than I am...so, is James really completely out of the range of winning the championship with as many races as are left coming into Las Vegas?
Unless the unthinkable happens.

RV could finish 5th 3 times and 4th 3 times and still end up with 333 points and the title.
I also have to laugh how at the beginning of the season RC made a comment about James and CR22 'to give it up' because they wouldn't catch his win number.
If James keeps winning mains and Seattle is a mudder. Then JS7's chances got ALOT better.
Regardless, I'm glad to see James riding to his potential. Another year, and we won't get to watch him any more.
Seems like he has cared more about that wins record than championships. I wonder if he has a lords of London on it.
Is he going for second place in SX wins or does he think he will pass MC or is he talking total wins?
Look at the current point Standing! Regarding 2009 you are repeating what I just said!!!

a champion and he will win several more this year if he can keep it on 2 wheels. Watch out for KROC now that he is pretty
much out of the championship, Will he go into full race win mode or ride safe to insure he is healthy for outdoors.

I think it's a total cop-out to give up before it's over.
This is MX. Anything can happen.
As far a Reed and Stewart beating RC's indoor win record, it's totally within reach for both of them. Not easy, but definitely within reach.
I mean no, no he is not in the chase.
on 2 wheels. Kongols are you a half empty personality. JS7 is riding really good this year and he could still win the championship if the cards fall in place. Where you are in the Championship will affect how you attack each race and during the
race you will make decisions based on where you are in that race. Not taking anything away from JS7's win. I will give you an
example that you might be able to understand. In 2009 in Vegas JS7 was the fastest guy that year and had the championship
in the bag if he finished like top 6 and at the start of the race RV2 was hot on his tail and JS7 made a bobble and RV2 passed him and went on to win his 2nd SX race. Could JS7 chased after him and beat him, probably, but he let him go and stayed ahead of CR22 for half the race and then let him go and finished 3rd and won the championship. Could he have beat CR22
that day, probably, but the championship was more important than the win. In 2005 and 2006 RC didn't win a single race
after Daytona and CR22 and JS7 won most of those races, did RC suddenly get slower or the other riders get suddenly faster
or was RC in Championship mode. I hope this clears it up for you, if not that's all I got. Go RV1
And also in 2012, He won 4 straight mains after Daytona and then went out with the knee injury at Seattle!
Sorry Uncle, but your "c'ship mode" theory doesn't support his past actions and intentions.
All I know is James seems to be happy and he's "Confident".
The rest is a matter of time...and 49 points.
I would think that with every title won consecutively, he would want to be more and more careful to secure it and not throw it away. Four in a row is a really big fuckin deal, and it could be affecting him subconsciously more than he or anyone knows.
Also, at the end of '13, Davi and Ryan were battling hard and racing fast. RV couldn't let them have any confidence going into outdoors, esp. Dungey, because he thought RD might be a threat there. This year, knowing what Dungey is capable of outdoors against him, and with Dungey's confidence presumably not great at the moment (although he may bounce back before the end), he doesn't have to worry about demoralizing anyone.
