I feel like it's only fair to say that Trey was not behind the 5 minutes on RacerX yesterday. He has not complained publicly to anyone, and has not said a word to Blake about the incident. I'm not really sure why it seems like Trey is getting slammed by some of you about the article when he was not a participant. And I know Trey has many supporters, just as I know not everyone is a fan--that's fine. Just please be a little more sensitve to the fact that these are real people, with real family and friends.

These racers make decisions in such a split second, I don't really see how they do anything right. Trey has made his fair share of bad decisions, so has anyone else out there that races--it's the nature of the beast. Our position is that it doesn't do anyone any good to keep rehashing what is in the past, just move on. Again, Blake and Trey have been friends for a long time, and will continue to be friends.

Jake Weimer has definitely been the guy most prepared to go out and get this championship this year. Just as Wil has definitely been the guy most consistently at the front. The championship was not lost in Seattle because Trey has made some costly mistakes in this series long before this race. He might have had a shot, but it's not to be--move on.

To the guy from Oz who sent me a PM (I accidently erased it before I would respond), thank you. We are big fans of Metty too!

Mrs. Mom241... You have no need to respond to this type of garbage, but us "fans" do appreciate it.


Trey should be VERY proud of how this season has gone. His showing in the 450 class was "epic"....

I think most of us were thinking that the interviewer was an ass... not Wharton or Trey... If Trey didn't take a swing at Wharton after the race, friends or not, he's a better man than I'll ever be... Both racers are an asset to the sport and I love watching both... The interviewer made a fool of himself, and it was obvious he was trying to bait a young kid into saying something silly so he could then make up a Trey v Wharton storyline...

Fair enough, and I got that from a lot of posts.

Having faith like Trey means you understand a thing or two about forgiveness. I'm sure that Blake feels awful and wanted to come out Publicly about that fact. It makes for better drama when teammates don't get along, but I don't see that here.


P.S. Thanks Mom241 for giving us some of your insight into the life a Great your Man

Mom is a class act. Guess that's how Trey turned out so great. Look forward to seeing him in STL next year!!

Trey is an amazing rider, and amazing person.. The sport needs more people like him.

My mom watches the SX races with me when I DVR them, and she always comments on how well spoken and genuine Trey seems when he is on the podium. Not to mention those podium interviews were on the 450!

Keep up the good work, and hope to see him on the box this summer!!

x2...Cox was out of line as far as I'm concerned. Ask once, get an honest answer and move on!

Thanks Mom and good luck this year outdoors!!

That interview with Wharton was terrible. Cox, you should be ashamed for calling Wharton out for an obvious, yet unfortunate racing incident.

X2 to pretty much everything said here. I think of Trey as one of our local boys and am always proud of him when he races.

Cox on the other hand...wow...that was an awful interview. Question was asked and answered...over...and over...and over...

Blake did a great job of dealing with it.

I think most people see it as racing and somtimes riders go down. Now Cox on the other hand is a blowhard jackass who lets his personal agenda pollute a otherwise very good magazine and website.

I feel like Wharton's parents have more of a reason to come on here and defend him than Canard's do. It seems like the majority of people are trashing Blake, not Trey, about a racing incident.

Cox is a douche....I listened to him whine and cry on here for too long. I could not believe DC would hire him, but figured he would be closely watched and monitered after all his online breakdaowns. This interview ranks right up there with a reporter asking a grieving mother how she feels about the loss of her child.

If someone has a problem with Trey, that someone has a problem with his/her self.

FYI...

A dozen or so lucky race fans got to hang with Trey Canard at Seattle Children's Hospital on Thursday for an hour or so for some bench racing.

Those there got to see what a class act he is.

Same is true for Davi Millsaps and Justin Brayton.

That about says it all Huck. The kid is a class act. When my son and I were at Atlanta we got to see the true Trey Canard . We walked through the pits and there were alot of riders that acted like they didnt have time for the fans but good ol TC stuck his head out of his trailor to talk to his mechanic and noticed that there were some fans hanging around his pit and right away he got that big smile and walked right out into the crowd and started talking to people like they were all his best friends.

Mrs. Mom241 You dont have to explane anything. We all know what type of person and rider Trey is.

I wouldn't call that an interview, more of an interrogation. Wharton was wrong in what he did, but it was unnecessary for a reporter to lambaste him like that.

Steve's "bio"...

Steve Cox is one of the few journalists and photographers who travel the entire AMA circuit, and he's done exactly that for the last several years. He brings an unbiased (though not always widely shared) perspective to the sport as a writer, and he’s also a photographer, a skill he picked up during his five-year stint with Cycle News. In addition to his column in Racer X, you'll see him name on plenty of articles and race reports.
