Yep, James Stewart has once again lost most of the points he gained back, and Chad Reed is steering this series. Of course everyone agrees that it’s James’ title to lose, but he keeps proving that he’s more than capable of doing just that with a multitude of crashes and bad decisions week after week.

Kevin Windham looked awesome in his heat race win, albeit likely due to Stewart’s two crashes. The St. Louis crowd loves last year’s main event winner, and they cheered loudly for him each lap as he came by.

If Stewart wins 4 of the next 5 with Reed 2nd each time, he’ll get the title, but if Reed gets up to that top spot just once more with Stewart 2nd, he’ll repeat as the champ. Keep your eye on this Chad Reed guy, he’s going places.

Another guy added to the mix in the 450’s, although he’d been to a few earlier in the season and done well, was Cernic’s Kawasaki ace Paul Carpenter. The man was killin’ it all day long, and looked remarkably solid against all of the factory guys that should’ve been destroying him.

“Under-prepared and over-enthusiastic” was how Travis Pastrana described the weeks preceding his one race return to the sport of Supercross, his first since Daytona 2006. As mentioned earlier, he wasn’t too bad in timed qualifying despite looking all “knees and elbows” all the way around the track.

He should’ve made it in through his heat race, but just missed it after a small tip-over sent him way back. Then in the LCQ, he worked his way up into 2nd place only to lose it when his RMZ-450 locked up due to lack of coolant.

Jlaw ended up 2nd this time out, just behind Brayton, but eventually showed good speed against everyone with a 6th overall in timed qualifying, while TP nailed a completely respectable 13th, ahead of Hepler, Wey, Hahn and a slew of other series regulars. Not bad, not bad at all.

Vince ‘Friggin’ Friese is a holeshot artist. What’s he got under the hood of that thing, anyhow? He proceeded to nab the lead in Lites heat #1 and was very close to running away with it.
