Exhaust #42: Off-Road Revamp with Fred Andrews Feb 01, 2019

Show notes

KTM and Husqvarna are the dominant players in the off-road racing game, but there was a time when brands like Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha ruled the roost through the rocks and roots. But when several Japanese brands shuttered their programs during the global recession of the late 2000s, the European marques doubled down on off-road. For 2019, Kawasaki has revived its old Team Green off-road squad, shifting the Monster Energy Babbitt's Online Kawasaki team from the now-defunct Amsoil Arenacross series into Grand National Cross Country. Fred Andrews spent nearly a decade racing GNCC for Team Green, and then ran the factory program until it closed. Now that Kawasaki is back, so is Fast Freddie, who will run the outfit along with the Babbitt's team. In this podcast, Jason Weigandt calls up Andrews for tales of building the new team, and also some old war stories from his racing days.

Exhaust #41: An Hour in a Car with Phil Nicoletti Jan 24, 2019

Show notes

Jason Weigandt teamed up with everyone's favorite grump, "Filthy" Phil Nicoletti, for the long drive through the desert from Corona, California, to Las Vegas. They were headed to Steve Matthes' PulpMX Show, but when you get two talkers from the Northeast on the subject of moto, the conversation is never-ending, so Weigandt turned on the recorder to create this podcast during the drive. It's one hour of talk about local racing, loving riding, hurling F-bombs at competitors, the odd rivals you didn't know Phil had, and the teams you didn't know he rode for. You know something? Weege and Phil never listened to a single song on the radio for the entire three and a half hours of driving because they wouldn't shut up! Enjoy New Jersey and New York snark at its finest in this very positive edition of the Racer X Exhaust Podcast.

Exhaust #40: Bogle and Nichols, in it Together Jan 17, 2019

Show notes

Justin Bogle and Colt Nichols are two of the most articulate riders in the pits, and they're also best friends, from their racing days on the local Oklahoma scene to where they sit now: Bogle with a new Rocky Mountain ATV/MC-KTM-WPS ride and Nichols leading the 250SX West standings on his Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha. It's not always this easy, though, as both have had tough times with injuries and employment. They've always had each other to lean on, though, and that has made all the difference. These days, Bogle is crashing at Nichols' house in California, and they travel to the races together. When Nichols won Anaheim, Bogle was the first to run up and congratulate him. They've been there for the lows, so it's only right to be there for the highs. Jason Weigandt grabs both riders in this episode of the Racer X Exhaust podcast.

Exhaust #39: When Anaheim Is Electric Jan 10, 2019

Show notes

It's an event so big it can overwhelm even the biggest names in the sport—and that's why superstars often tell you they'd rather not even win the season opener, aka Anaheim 1, aka A1, aka the most hyped event in the sport. Feld Motor Sports invited all the past Anaheim Supercross winners to press day for the 2019 Monster Energy Supercross season opener, and Jason Weigandt grabbed a few of them to ask about the experience before, during, and after winning at Anaheim. Their answers might surprise you, but this much you can sure of: there's nothing quite like a win at the Big A.

Exhaust #38: Last Thoughts on 2019 Jan 04, 2019

Show notes

There's so much hype, fever, and anticipation for the 2019 season of Monster Energy Supercross that Jason Weigandt is literally able to talk by himself for 40 minutes with some ideas and opinions on what's coming on Saturday. Well, Weege could go 40 minutes on any topic, really, but certainly the season opener is an exceptional event. From Anderson versus Tomac to TV schedules to Roczen and Musquin's status, and even fan questions from Twitter, take in one more hype ramp-up before Saturday night. There's nothing quite like the opener!
