“ This year has been a year to remember. One of the best! During the SX season James and RC put on a show for the fans and have continued it into the outdoor season. Let’s see what the industry thinks about the US Open coming up. Here’s a question that I had for them. With James Stewart's aggressive riding style and the tighter track at this year's Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open, are we waiting on the tightest race of 2006 to unfold between him and Ricky Carmichael? "

“I think this year's race will definitely be exciting.  Each rider wants towin and a tight track will just make it that much closer. Although, as the riders always say, the start is the most important thing and anything can happen in the first turn!”

“When you get these two riders on a track that small, the racing is going to be intense--probably the most intense racing we've seen all season. Stewart's tremendous supercross skills combined with RC's never-say-die attitude will result in a must-see event! I'll be placing my money on Stewart.”

“This US Open is going to be one that we won’t forget! It’s going to be a battle!”

“Those guys are going to put on a show. With the track being tight there will be some aggressive riding going on but they will keep it clean and it will be an exciting weekend.”

“With it being RC’s last US Open he is going to be hungry for the win. The track is going to be tight and the racing is going to be good. James rides really aggressive and something 'big' is going to happen. I can’t wait!”

“I can’t wait. The track is going to be tight and those guys are going to go at it! I’m not sure who’s going to win but it’s going to be a good show.”
