I know there's already a Chase thread but this is about his PulpMX guest spot tonight. I have so much more respect for this kid after listening to his interview. I bleed Green but I can't help root for this kid as he moves up to the 450's. Not only was he very considerate (thanking everyone who called in to congratulate him) but his attitude and mindset is something I admire.
I know from my supermini days in 97-01 all the games and BS that other kids and their parents would play and it really sounds like the Star team was doing a lot of the same. He seemed genuinely remorseful for how the whole Colt situation turned out but sure seemed to have some dislike for Shane altogether. You could sense the dislike between the Geico and Star team, reminds me of the old days with PC and Yamaha of Troy. He also talked about how Stew has been helping him and their mindset is very similar and I believe it.
Very, very good interview and nothing but props and respect for this kid. I hate he's riding red but I can't help but root for him moving forward.

He seems like a class act to me.
As for Sexton, one can only hope his success doesn't go to his head like Forkner.
As for Shane, Steve Mathes brought up Shane spending practice and qualifying interfering with Chase's fast laps and going out of his way to do so. And then when it came to the main and everyone had selected their gate with the flags like they've been doing since they've been in SLC, apparently Shane went to Chase's gate he'd already cleaned, after the spotting lap instead of the gate he'd previously claimed.
Sounded like the AMA started getting involved and instead of arguing and causing a fuss like Shane and Star were ready to do, Chase just went to the inside gate, which is why he was all alone.
And then the fuel protest was kind of just a cherry on top by Star to be a pain, but Shane has nothing to do with that.
under-estimating him will just make it easier for him. he will do what it takes and it's going to be fun to watch.
we are of course quite biased.
Not sure he can top 450's in the first year, but who knows, he will be there sooner then later.
Pit Row
Shane is always whining about something in almost every interview he dose.
Chase let Shane by so he could control the outcome. Didn't need to beat him; just needed to finish right behind him. No sense getting taken out near the end.
Shane then let him back by. (Presumably so he could have a chance at doing just that: taking Sexton out.)
Chase then said, "OK bud, let's go," and rode away from McElrath.
