mention James Stewart's Team Name in RacerHead is week? He did the journalism on this part of RacerHead and he mentioned the Team Name of every Race Team except the San Manuel Team. I'm sure a sponsor that supports and Sponsors the Supercross series and a Race Team that competes in the Supercross series deservers to at least have their name listed in a Pre-Season article. Racer X did add a picture of James Stewart and lucky for the team their Title Sponsor can be seen in the photo, but we need Sponsors to stay in our sport and not disregard mentioning them.
Here's what he wrote.
The new season starts in a week. The countdown to Anaheim 1 began pretty much the day after the last national at Steel City. James Stewart will be defending his crown against a revitalized Chad Reed, as well as his new teammate, Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto. Ryan Dungey is moving up to the 450 class, Josh Grant and Justin Brayton will be trying to make it happen for the Joe Gibbs Racing/Toyota Yamaha team, Honda Red Bull Racing is counting on Davi Millsaps and Andrew Short to get them back in the title chase – it has been since Ricky Carmichael was riding a Honda that the Red Riders’ factory team has had someone in the title chase – and there’s a slew of kids rising up in the Lites class. The 2010 Monster Energy/AMA Supercross Championship should be fantastic.
Dean Wilson got injured a few weeks ago at Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki, and he was going to join Jake Weimer on the West starting a week from tomorrow, but instead he’s moving to the East Coast to join Tyla Rattray and Christophe Pourcel. Josh Hansen is moving down from his slated 450cc ride to take on the West alongside Weimer.
And Austin Stroupe, on the new Yoshimura-backed factory Suzuki team, will be riding a 450 at Anaheim I, and then switching to the Lites bike at Indianapolis. Hopefully, by then, Matt Moss, who was supposed to be the 450cc guy alongside Ryan Dungey, will be healthy and back to racing.
And on the GEICO Powersports Honda team, with Brett Metcalfe’s ankle injury, Trey Canard will be joined by Blake Wharton on the West, and in an interesting twist, it sounds like the whole team is going to be running stock suspension – no, not stock internally, for sure, but basically just Factory Connection-modified stock stuff, set up for supercross. The last time we interviewed Kevin Windham, he seemed to be pumped on the idea for his 450, and apparently the same line of thinking is working out in testing with the 250cc guys. It’s going to be interesting to see how the stock stuff stacks up against the kit stuff most of the competition will be running.

Thank you for two kind members agreeing with me. That doesn't happen often.
I feel a post always carries more weight when your able to show the article or link what your talking about. I do hope it was a simple oversight on DC's part. This could have easily been overlooked, but in these tough economical times, every sponsor that we have in our sport should get their 15 minutes in hopes they'll stay around a long time.
Had to be said. Looking forward to 2010!
We'll do better next time,

This is a far bigger afront to the fans and the industry than not mentioning his sponsors!
