San Diego, CA - November 29, 2012 -Last Sunday, we enjoyed spending time with the always-entertaining 7x National MX Champion Ricky Johnson, who highlighted the action of the 2012 Red Bull Day in the Dirt weekend. Grand National Champion Mert Lawwill joined us, as well, with a good-hearted story about fellow racer Steve McQueen. As Broc Glover, Paul Carruthers, and Bobby Wooldridge prepare for the December 2 show, they look forward to speaking with Star Motorcycle School founder Jason Pridmore, Husqvarna Monster Energy Rallye Team by Speed Brain's newest member Quinn Cody, and Kirk Chandler of Pala Raceway.
