Things happen when you're fighting for a championship. Jared Mees was once the top man in Progressive American Flat Track and Briar Bauman was just a young gun with big dreams. Bauman trained and worked with Mees, learned, and eventually became the new series champion. Bauman has won the last two titles and looked strong for a third, but Mees never gave up, even after a knee injury earlier this season. A late surge by Mees on his favored mile-long tracks has vaulted him to a slim points lead heading into this Friday's season finale at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The points are close enough to where whoever wins the race wins the title. Of course, such tight competition means Bauman and Mees are no longer friends like they used to be—it's just part of human nature. Jason Weigandt chats with both in this podcast, and you'll learn how rivalries develop and how they can actually heal back up once the showdowns are complete. Bauman has always wanted to maintain his social, outgoing demeanor, but it's getting harder with the pressure to be champion. Mees, meanwhile, has been in this exact position before, and he knows things can go full circle in more ways than just on a flat track. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura, Cardo Systems, and On X Maps.

Have a listen to hear his side of the story. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura, Cardo Systems, and On-X Maps.

Jason Weigandt took a tour of Italy, but not the Olive Garden kind, when KTM sent him to Rome to cover Tony Cairoli's retirement announcement. It was a grand event, held far from a racetrack in the center of the one of the most historic cities in the world. Why such a big deal? Cairoli deserves it, and KTM wants to keep its alumni riders happy into retirement.

Once upon a time, AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross points were combined to determine the AMA Grand National Championship in the short-lived Wrangler Super Series.

Forty years ago, a quartet of young Americans traveled to Europe and turned the World Motocross community on its head. Danny LaPorte, Chuck Sun, Donnie Hansen, and Johnny O'Mara won the Trophée des Nations (250) on September 6, 1981 in Lommel, Belgium, and then the Motocross des Nations (500) a week later in West Germany. This is a special collaboration between Racer X Illustrated and We Went Fast. "When We Were Kings" ran in the September/October 1998 issue of Racer X magazine—yes, 1998, when Racer X was in its first year as a full-color glossy and only printing six times a year. "When We Were Kings" is the story behind how the team was formed and how they pulled off the most stunning upset in motocross history. Here's a brief synopsis if you're not already familiar: In 1981, for the third year in a row, the AMA wasn't even going to send a team. Then a magazine editor named Dick Miller stepped in to take over the organizing efforts and whipped up interest. The man literally held bake sale–style events to raise money. Winning one of the events would have been massive. Winning both was shocking. Be sure leave a review and rating and share this show with a friend.

In just a short time, Ryan Dungey hit both sides. He was once the young buck trying to battle dominators like Chad Reed and James Stewart. A few years later, he was trying to hold off the likes of Ken Roczen and Eli Tomac. The window is short, and Dungey looked through it from both sides. He talks to Jason Weigandt about that in this podcast, and they also discuss the transition from supercross to motocross. Ryan clinched the Monster Energy Supercross 450SX title unexpectedly as a rookie in 2010, and the emotional stress created by that led to one of the worst races of his career at the 2010 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross opener at Hangtown. He did learn how to cope better, but by then the kids were coming after him! The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura, MX Tech, and Just Live.
