Chances are he'll get more out of AX than in SX if he does win. Better paycheck in AX after a title than just winging it on his own in SX (unless a SX team grabs him up with a better deal).

If I remember correctly a few weeks back on the Pulp Show he did say he eventually wanted to come back to SX, but I don't know if he ever really said when he would? I'm guessing if some team offered him a good enough ride he would at least think about it.

I don't think you see any of the top 3-5 AX guys leave AX to go to SX unless a factory supported ride with expenses and small salary awaits.

Sure would've been nice to see how they stacked up in Atlanta...

There's no way Jace leaves AX. He would be 8th thru 12th in lites and 15th thru 22nd in the 450 class. He's making good money in AX, he won't leave that to just scrape by in sx.

the purse payout in SX is much better than AX, the difference really comes down to if someone (a team) is paying him. If an AX team keeps him with a good contract, really there isnt a reason to race SX as both can be a good way to earn a living racing

Jace is interested in going back to Supercross and I know of one top-level 250F team that is watching him in AX right now...

I don't know why, but I could see Vinny Freeze going to AX and having a good run of success.

I'm thinking he would look really good on Geico next year.

Super stoked to see how Jace has been doing this year in AX and nice to see a Honda on top of that series. He is such a good starter that I don't know how top level SX teams can't be looking at him.

Right, but does Jace want to be a champion in AX or top 10 in SX. If both will pay about the same amount in the end then it's up to him which he prefers.

ML, I can see a 250 team taking a chance on him. I personally think he's an 8th thru 12th place guy in the 250 class with an occasional top 5 but he very well could surprise me and compete for a championship like bowers did a few years ago. I hope he does come in and add to the list of guys competing for a championship now. The more the merrier.
