Like, you get Bubba, and he doesn’t care; he’ll do anything to win and I think that’s what makes him so unbelievable. He’ll do something gnarly that just blows peoples’ minds. Sometimes, he crashes and he’s not afraid to flirt with that. But I do that, or try to do that, and if I flirt with it and it goes the wrong way, it’s scary for me mentally.
Like Supercross for instance, if you’re going to hit the whoops as fast as he does, he doesn’t even care where he puts the front wheel down, because it just carries back up. When you think about it, it’s just not going to happen. It’s just something you have to do and feel comfortable with, like second-nature. As soon as you think about it, it’s too late.
That’s the problem I’ve had in the past, and I still deal with it, but now my technique and all that is really coming up a level. I wouldn’t say that like with Bubba, but I’m getting faster and better and learning how to find the happy balance on speed and technique.

Championship are won with consistency. Stewart's stars will align again and he'll string together another Championship but he'll also to continue to lose them.
This guy has raced with JS for how many years?? Yet the experts here know more about James than he does.

Pit Row
And now when Short shims in and kind of do the same thing makes me really feel Bubba is special in a very special way. So if this sport is in one piece for Unadilla he will smoke RD so badly that RD will probably want to lie down in a fetus position after the finish line or something...
James will win.
The way I look at the races JS comes back for, which I wish was none, but Dungey doesn't have to win them, so why ride over your head and risk injury when you have the c-ship almost locked up. If JS is close, Dungey will let him go.
