Welcome to Stewsday, we’re we’ve taken Tuesday and made it all about the legend James Stewart. Every week we’ll revisit some of our favorite Stew memories and reminisce on the good old days. This column is sponsored by Troy Dog who is always up to date on everything Stew.
I’ve been having a lot of fun going down memory lane and looking at all of Stews big races from each city on the tour. So, I decided to look through the results again and see what we had for Seattle. Seattle is cool because it’s the home race for Clinton Fowler, who is the Statistician for the series on the TV broadcast. Why is this important right now? Well, Clinton promised me that I’d get a booth tour at Indy and he said that I’d get to meet Stew. Yet, Stew nor Clint were not at Indy thus crushing my dreams.
Onward and upward.
2005 Seattle
Stews second premier class win. In his abbreviated rookie season (due to injury) Stewart raced six rounds. In those six rounds he never finished out of the top five and half of those were wins.
2006 Seattle
Two Seattle races and two premiere class wins for Stew. This track was wet and rutted. Can you beleive Seattle would have those conditions? I couldn’t find a video of the 450 class on YouTube, but I did find the 250 race for reference. Two Vurb contributors are in this race as well. We have Denny Stephenson in the booth and Jason Lawrence finishes third in the 250 class.
2007 Seattle
Stew is three for three early in his 450 class career in Seattle. He also clinched his first 450SX Championship here on this night.
2011 Seattle
Stew went to the Bahamas after this win.
2014 Seattle
Stewart finished second on this night in 2014, but that didn’t stop him from doing a ridiculous quad on the night. This was his last visit to Seattle and at the time no one could have even thought that it would be.
Here’s another look at the quad…c’mon man.
Quad God. This was massive. He cased it and still finished second!
