Show notes

Today, Ricky Carmichael is seen weekly on NBCSN television analyzing the sport's top riders, but he rarely reflects too deeply on his own career, which spanned from 1997 to 2007 and led to to "Greatest of All Time" status. Jason Weigandt digs in with RC in this podcast, getting some thoughts on the current pause in racing due to COVID-19, but also the atmosphere, mentality, and approach of racing that defined his era. "The tension in those days, it was so thick you could cut it with a knife," Carmichael says of his days spent battling James Stewart and Chad Reed.

Exhaust #95: The Consummate Racer and the Shutdown (with Jared Mees) Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

Both a championship racer and promoter of one of the top events on the American Flat Track calendar, Indian Motorcycle's Jared Mees is one of the best riders to talk to during the shutdown. He's one of the most analytical and hardworking riders in any paddock, so how does he cope? Jason Weigandt digs in, learning Mees' take on the current state as both a racer and a promoter, and also even more about his own personality.

"My own family knows, me on race day, don't even bother him," he says. "It's bad. I don't want people to take this the wrong way, but at the races I'm like, 'Man, I don't have time for anybody. I'm here to win, to put points on the board, and to represent my sponsors.' I work too hard during the week and too hard at the races, and there's nobody standing in my way to mess my focus up. Dude, I don't care if I lose friends at the racetrack! I don't care! It's about winning."
