5 Minutes With...Chad Reed RacerX Online March 22, 2007Although he has only won one race to James Stewart’s eight and led 40 laps to Stewart’s 159, eleven races into the 2007 AMA Amp’d Mobile Supercross Series, Chad Reed is still only 29 points adrift of the number one slot atop the point standings. And with Ricky Carmichael — who forced Reed back to third in all seven races they competed together in this winter— now officially retired from the stadium motocross, it’s down to a two-man race to the wire between the American and Australian for the #1 plate (which Stewart says he likely will run). It should prove to be quite interesting because while Stewart and his mercurial speed are seemingly invincible at times, Reed’s quiet consistency — he’s been on the podium in every single main this year — is also the stuff championships are made from. Can James hold it together? Can Reed run him down and, perhaps, force a mistake? All appetizing food for thought. Factor in the variable that the two have been at odds with each other for the better part of a month now, and you have what adds up to a hell of a title fight. How does Chad Reed weigh-in on all of this? On the fringe of the spotlight due to all the attention paid to both RC and James as of late, we tracked down Chad and got his read on things.
