RC vs Bubba in '06 is to this day still the best rivalry I think we'll ever get to witness. Bubba always seemed to have the edge on RC speedwise, but RC was just so relentless that he'd almost always pressure James into a mistake. Even in these pics, Stewart is leading in most of them. RC would just never let him get away and Bubba would blow it on his own. It was an epic battle between the two nearly every single weekend of racing the whole year.

We really were blessed as fans to be able to witness this. Dungey vs Tomac or Dungey vs Villopoto was pretty cool but nothing like this. Every time they lined up you knew it was going to be an absolute battle and they almost always delivered. Carmichael's maturity usually allowed him to get the upper hand as James never beat him in a championship but James was a blast to watch. He was the definition of go big or go home like we had never seen before. He would have rather crashed and died on the track than let Ricky beat him and many times he did end up crashing. It was pretty cool seeing in an interview when Carmichael said that James is undoubtably the fastest rider that has ever thrown their leg over a dirt bike. He also said that James could have won much more if he had just backed it down a little bit but he said he doesn't think James cares. He showed the world what it looks like to ride at the absolute upper limit of what these machines were designed to do and Im not sure if anybody will ever come close again to what he did on a motorcycle.
