Exhaust #119: The Nationals (with Davey Coombs)
Lucas Oil Pro Motocross is again on hold, with the planned-for July 18 start to the season now pushed into August. A global pandemic might be the most complex problem ever to work around, but we all want to go racing, so this announcement certainly hasn't made fans happy. Jason Weigandt rang up Davey Coombs, who—full disclosure, is his boss at Racer X and also is part of the family that runs the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship—to learn more details as to why the nationals had to delay again.
The takeaway? There are a few major reasons: teams have begun to express fears over travel from state to state at the moment; watching COVID rates rise has made predicting the future decisions of multiple state governments very difficult; and the races need fans to operate, because the economic model for Pro Motocross is much different than that of Monster Energy Supercross (it's more similar to many other smaller racing series that can't operate without fans). Also, the series does not want to start until it knows it can put together an entire series. Racing once and then stopping and waiting is not the plan that MX Sports want to use. Hopefully they can string together more races in a row by pushing back, and then an actual championship schedule can grow clear.

Exhaust #118: Shane's Side (w/ Shane McElrath)
Shane McElrath came into the final round of Monster Energy Supercross needing to win the race and hoping Chase Sexton would finish off the podium—that's what it would take for him to win the 2020 250SX East Region Championship. He tried quite a few things at the Utah finale to help his odds, and the Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha rider addresses them in this interview with Jason Weigandt.
From the starting-gate picks to mid-race slowdowns to the post-race protest of Sexton's fuel, McElrath takes it all on here—and says he has no regrets.

Exhaust #117: Salt Lake City 7 Post-Race
When the dust (somewhat literally) settled on Sunday's Monster Energy Supercross finale in Salt Lake City, Monster Energy Kawasaki's Eli Tomac, GEICO Honda's Chase Sexton, and Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha's Dylan Ferrandis were holding #1 plates. It wasn't an easy road, and Sexton and Ferrandis had to silence some detractors—and Tomac had to erase the demons of past 450SX seasons. After the race, Tomac and Ferrandis met with the media to answer questions. Sexton was scheduled to arrive but apparently was too busy celebrating!
NBC Sports' Daniel Blair hosted the press conference, but Racer X's Jason Weigandt, Mitch Kendra, and Aaron Hansel were in attendance.

Eli Tomac Clinches First 450 Supercross Championship - Salt Lake City 7 | Race eXamination
The 2020 Monster Energy AMA Supercross champion is Eli Tomac but the final round of the season wasn't a walk in the park for the Monster Energy Kawasaki rider. On this Race eXamination, we look at the near miss in the first turn of Tomac that ultimately put championship rival Cooper Webb on the ground.
Then we take a deep dive into the 250SX class action that featured a heat race crash for not only 250SX West defending champion Dylan Ferrandis, but also 250SX East defending champion Chase Sexton. Once the main event got underway, an intense title fight was on the line until Austin Forkner suffered a massive crash while running second, causing the red flag to come out. On the restart, things were much closer for the title rivals on the East and it made for an interesting main event.

The Weege Show: 2020 450 Supercross Wrap up
The narrative can finally change. Eli Tomac creates a lot of history in 2020, somehow becoming the oldest first-time supercross champ, the first dad supercross champ (just made it!) and also the first first-time supercross champ to feel like the title was just a relief.
Jason Weigandt discusses all of that here, with a separate show later on those nutty 250 kids. It's all brought to you by Race Tech and their gold valves which are actually worth MORE than gold if you ride on a slick, bumpy, beat up track like Salt Lake City on Sunday. Or any track, anywhere. Go to RaceTech.com for more.
