Crash or Win? Checkers or Wreckers?
James Stewart was one of the most prolific winners in motocross history and was also one of the most prolific crashers as well. I had wondered if there was ever any attempt to quantify this rate of winning or crashing but found nothing from google searching. This led me to start researching on my own and one thing led to another…
I went through all the sources I could find online of Stewart’s professional career. I looked through old race footage, old articles, social media posts or anything else I could find for every single AMA Supercross and Motocross race Stewart competed in to find answers. (If you’re wondering, this took quite a long time!)
I went through his AMA Supercross and Motocross career in both 250 (125 at the time) and 450 classes. I am not including other races such as: Motocross of Nations, Monster Energy Cup, US Open, World Supercross (the original) or any other one off races. I am counting a crash as if the bike needed to be picked up off the ground or if Stewart got completely dislodged from the motorcycle.
Most sources are direct race footage – at times this is the announcer telling us about a crash off screen (I’ll note these examples). I am putting a screenshot and then a link for most race footage sources because if I embedded each YouTube clip then this page may never load.
So how often did he truly win or crash in a race throughout his career? Lets break it down:

James Stewart did not crash in this race, he got a bad start and came back to 2nd place. I won’t explain every non crash race in his entire career, but in Stewart’s 125 days it was newsworthy if he didn’t win.
