I give him a 95% chance of qualifying for the main event. If he gets the holeshot in a semi, he just might hang on and qualify through that race, but it will also depend on who is in the semi race with him and if he rides a flawless race. Most likely he will qualify for the main via the LCQ.

15-20th in the main event.

So there was all this bitching about not being able to run the #100 at the start of the season. But now he's gonna race anyway with #57? So where was all the bitching about?
The bitching was about branding. I imagine he found out that the brand was worth less with him not racing at this point the the "company's" career. You can understand the argument from both sides honestly but these guys branding themselves with the number should be well aware of the numbering rules and understand that numbers change outside of winning a championship.

For sure. That shit is set in stone and never changes. Clear cut with more grandfathering and modifications than the PlayBoy mansion.

He makes the main, 13th place finish. He can run with the mid pack dudes easily if he has some stamina.

Josh should easily make the main. Beyond that, I don't think he's ready for the top 10.

He'll more likely get punted by Peick.

JH57 will be a solid candidate as a team fill in rider. Good for him making a living racing.

"If " he qualifies.....I say between 14th - 20th. Some are saying he'll qualify easily ...I don't think so really. I wish him luck though.

Josh is no where near the speed of Weston. At least not more than a lap or two.

I agree. Hansen has a history of being a bit aggressive, and so does Peick. What I'm saying is, that if Hansen tries to muscle Peick, he might get a suprise.

so he wouldnt race here earlier in the year because of the "100" or lack there of, and went to europe where he could run it, for some reason quit that series and is back in the US, running the dreaded 57 and potentially getting points and another national number for next year?

as far as pure talent goes, i have huge respect for the guy, but he has a 10 cent brain.

Does he still "come from nothing"?

I will be surprised if Hansen can keep up with Peick this weekend. Peick has been healing up and has picked it up the past two races with a 7th and an 8th. I don't think Hansen will be up with that group.

I believe this will be Josh's 1st ever 450 SX attempt. I think he will make the main. Honestly this is a good step for him and could open up new opportunities for him.

Big question is ...... Will he be able to run the #100 since he went to Europe?

He raced the 450 SX class for JGR in 2008, Hart and Hunington in 2009, H&H again in 2012, and then the failed attempt in 2013 with what was left of JWR.
How different from an SX track were the 08 and 09 X games?

This!
There are 10-15 riders out there that have more heart and care than what's his name.
He's tremendously talented on a bike, but doesn't have the head. I just don't get why anyone gives a rats ass about whether he ever races again or not.

Watching him last year. He was pretty quick off the start and then fell apart after about 5 laps. Then talking about a 20 lap main and he hasn't raced SX at all this year? He'll drop like a stone if he makes the main against these dudes that have raced all year and are in shape.

I'd bet money he makes the main. I would say no worse than 15th but can see him around 11-12 this weekend.

Josh seems to have come around with maturity and fatherhood. I'm not saying he's gonna win, but he's grown up since those days that he established his reputation.

its hard to know . imo he has not been riding well at all the last 2 years . i thought he d be winning 250 sx last year , but he never had the speed, which was never a problem of his before ,in the uk this year he was nt that impressive either .
