For the first time in it's history, the sport of Supercross made an appearance in the city of Jacksonville, Florida. Up on the far northeast edge of the state, Jacksonville would be considered a home track for many of the top riders in the sport, plus a bunch of privateers too. With Georgia and the Carolinas so close, not to mention central Florida and the Tallahassee area, that just about covers the entire southeast hotbed of the sport. James Stewart, who lives about 2.5 hrs away in Haines City said he was actually dreading it, since there would be so many more friends and family there to distract him from what's come to be one of the most anticipated Supercross championship runs in history.
