James Stewart Race Quotations

I'm happy with where we are coming into Anaheim. Everyone else has a lot of race experience on the four-strokes and I've just got two races on the bike. I'm still learning and getting more comfortable with it. I've had to change my riding style a bit, but I plan on training harder than ever to get ready for Anaheim and the rest of the season.

I felt like I threw the race away tonight. The front end just topped over on me, but I came back and did the best I could.

Winning is all I can try to do now. Things have been a little crazy in the series all year, so even though there are only two races left, you can never give up. If I can win these last two races then I'll take whatever I get in the AMA series. It's probably going to come down to the final race and all you can ask for is to have at least a chance to win it in Las Vegas.

All I can do is my best. If I win the Vegas race and the world title I can't really ask for anything else.

I am really bummed that I have not been able to race since the Unadilla crash. I am sorry to disappoint the fans, Kawasaki, and my sponsors. There's a week off after Washougal so I should be 100% by Spring Creek and look forward to a strong ride there.

I am sorry that I crashed that way and the race ended. It was a good clean race, and we have one more stop in Anaheim, so that will be my next chance to get a win in front of these fans.

I wanted that race to go down to the final lap. It was such a good battle that it's a shame that it ended the way it did. I saw a lapped rider down in the turn and just lost concentration for a split second. That corner was slick and I washed out my front wheel and I was on the ground before I knew it. It's a tough series and things like that are going to happen. Fortunately I didn't lose too much ground in the points and I'll go to San Francisco hoping to come back strong.

I'm running my own races now and having fun winning. I just want to keep winning races, that's my goal right now and I'm not thinking that much about the points. If I can keep this streak alive then maybe at some point I'll have a shot.

I'm going to give it all I've got every weekend. All I can do is keep trying to win races. Anything can happen in the championship, you only need to look at the St. Louis race to see that.
