The Stewart ride was a blast!! The track was perfect (like usual) and it was just a fun overall day. It's really cool for James to put on these ride days, speak well about his character. The Dallas Morning News even wrote a story for todays paper, great exposure:

ALVORD – James "Bubba" Stewart Jr., the reigning Supercross champion, thanked his fans in a meaningful way Saturday. He gave fans a chance to ride with him.
"I know a lot of these young kids will remember this for the rest of their life," Stewart said.
Plenty of fans turned out at Oak Hill Motocross Park. There were some from Oklahoma. Mitchell Thelen, a 23-year-old from Marshall, drove 3 ½ hours to the event and was passed by Stewart on the race track.
"Being able to ride with your sport's top athlete, it's like being able to swim with Michael Phelps," Rex Haber of Dallas said. He comes from a racing family, and even his mother rides.
Fans such as Aaron Young and Preston Hobbs came to see Stewart even though they couldn't ride with him. Young, a 15-year-old from Fort Worth, broke his left arm racing at Buffalo Creek last weekend. Hobbs broke his right leg in May.
