Sebastian Vettel won the Korean GP last weekend to add to his win total and help clinch the Constructor’s Championship. Although the driver’s championship gets the most attention from media and fans, it is the constructor’s title that the FIA pays out a handsome cash reward to the winner.
Red Bull had a dominant season including Vettel’s 10 wins and a lockout of the pole position in every race except Korea. By the way, the season is not over yet! Vettel has a shot at most poles and wins in 1 single season. Red Bull has already scored more points than any other constructor in any season in F1′s history!
As you know, we love our motocross racing and dirt bike gear. However, F1 is the most prestigious series in the world. That, we must recognize.
Saturday night in Las Vegas Nevada Ryan Villopoto completed a perfect season. RV won the Monster Energy Cup and a 1 million dollar bonus for winning all 3 motos. RV added the Monster Energy Cup to his already impressive 2011 which includes the Supercross Championship, Motocross Championship, and the Motocross of Nations Championship.
Villopoto dominated the night with his only competition being Ryan Dungey on his new KTM bike and Red Bull KTM motocross gear. Dungey took second overall in his first ride on the KTM.
Villopoto will enjoy his short off season with his family, 1 million dollars, and some of the coolest trophies around. Get ready for 2012 as the season is only 10 weeks away. Can RV repeat the dominance of 2011?
The place to be this weekend for all motorsports fans is Las Vegas! The Monster Energy Cup is on Saturday evening and promises to be a very unique event. The IRL will wrap up it’s season in Vegas on Sunday. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is also on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s list of events.
Of course we want to know all about Ryan Dungey and his new KTM motocross gear. How will the rider do on the KTM against the unstoppable Ryan Villopoto. Can any of the riders win all 3 motos and take home the 1 million dollar bonus? RV has got the best shot.
Lucky for us all of this weekend’s Vegas action will be on Speed Channel except for the IRL event.
The Dew Tour is also in Vegas. I can’t believe we are staying home!
Just as Ryan Villopoto put down his motocross jersey after walkingaway with the AMA Motocross title with relative ease, the longest season in motorsports gets real exciting. Crossover driver Tony Stewart took the win in the opening round of the Sprint Cup Chase. The win for the former USAC Triple Champion and IRL Champion but him in the middle of the championship battle.
Stewart jumped from 10th to 2nd in the Chase points. The next race on the Chase schedule is at a track the Stewart has already been successful at this season. Stewart and teammate Ryan Newman finished 1,2 earlier this year. Is Stewart now a favorite to take his 3rd Sprint Cup Championship?
The Motorsports models of the world have been out in force all year. Whether its the Formula 1 grid girls, Rockstar Girls at Motocross, or the super hot NOS energy drink girls at Formula Drift events, they always make the weekend a little better.
Here’s a shout out to all the hot girls holding umbrellas and grid signs this year. Hope to see more of them in 2012. Dirt Bike Gear isn’t the only thing we can talk about!
Although the Motocross is about the wrap up for 2011, we will still be enjoying motocross action in our writers loft at Joeyspeed Enterprises. We have dirt bike toys of all our favorite riders and yes we play during the off season.
Who would win if Carmichael, McGrath, Stewart, Reed, Hart, and Pastrana all raced against each other during the peak of their careers? With our collection of dirt bike toys, were going to find out!
We should spend more time writing!
Chad Reed and his Two Two Motorsports team had a better season then most critics expected in 2011. Reed started his own team for 2011 whenhe was without a ride for 2011. The team battled for both the Supercross and Motocross Championships taking event wins in both. The Australian born rider may have exceeded his own expectations but was still left disappointed by not taking either championship.
No worries. In 2012 the 22 dirt bike gear will be back and stronger than before. With a year of experience the Honda rider can come back and have a better shot at the title. We call 2011 a success for Reed even if he won’t be wearing the number 1 plate.
Marcos Ambrose could be the fairytale story of the year if he makes the 2011 Chase for the Sprint Cup. Ambrose has a good chance of making NASCAR’s playoffs by winning at Watkins Glen and Brad Keselowski being the hottest driver on the series in the month of August.
Keselowski now sits in 11th in the points. If Brad continues his hot streak he could easily end up in the top ten instead of being a wild card. With Brad Keselowski in the top 10, he would then bump either the win-less Tony Stewart or Dale Jr out. In this scenario Denny Hamlin would be the first wild card into The Chase. The second wild card spot would be left for Paul Menard, David Regan, and Marcos Ambrose to fight for.
Right now Paul Menard is in 20th, Regan in 21th, and Ambrose is 22nd. If Ambrose gains 5 points on Menard and Regan, Ambrose becomes the wild card. All of this depends on Keselowski getting into the top 10.
A lot of “ifs,” but not too far off of possible. If nothing else NASCAR has made their Championship more exciting by designing important battles to go down to the wire for 1st place in points, 10th place, most wins, and even top 20 and 35 points positions. We will always love motocross gloves flying through the air but this NASCAR stuff sure is interesting.
Aussie rider Brett Metcalfe took his very first overall win this past weekend at Southwick. Metcalfe beat RV, Dungey, and the struggling Chad Reed in some very wet conditions. Lots of rain changed the outlook on the event and left it wide open for riders like Metcalfe.
Every rider’s dirt bike gear was covered in mud and Metcalfe came out on top without winning either Moto. RV extended his point lead over Dungey by 1 point. Chad Reed is now 65 points out of first place with only 2 events to go. Better luck next year for Two Two Motorsports.
Sonoma, California’s Infineon Raceway played host to many big races in 2011. Some NASCAR, some 2 wheel racing, and even dirt bike gear saw action at the huge motorsports complex. The season at Infineon wrapped up this past weekend with the Indy GP.
Indy Car title contender Will Power made the news this week for a much better reason then he did two weeks ago. Aussie racer Power won the Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma.
With the win Power stays within striking distance of point leader Dario Franchitti. Power dominated the race and headed up a Penske 1-2-3 finish.
Two weeks ago Will Power was getting negative media attention and a 30,000 dollar fine for raising his middle fingers in the direction of Race Control and New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The video was run over and over on network TV, Speed Channel, ESPN, and many blog sites. Either way, attention has been drawn back to Will Power’s strength rather than his weakness.
