Chatting with RC at His Last National

The weekend that fans of national MX wish would never come is here. Tomorrow is RC's last AMA national motocross. It's been an amazing ten years and it sometimes seems like a blur, but this is it.

RC's new car career is where is heart is right now, but he's fulfilling his obligations and ready to see of this race will be his 150th career win.


RC took a few minutes Saturday after practice to chat with media about what's on his mind.

On his career and how he's feeling right now-
It's been an amazing experience, and this is a little surreal actually. The craziest thing of all is I am not going to be able to race James in my last race. We want to have a good racetrack. We want to enjoy it.

On does this feel like the last day of school-
It never feels like the last day of school because there are always things that I need to do and can do. I want to get out of here healthy and bring home win #150.

On still developing his bike and setup, even for his last race-
We have a different setup this weekend.That is where my time and experience come in and I want to still help Suzuki. I feel like we put some credibility in this team and I want to keep it there. It's nice to know the bike is going to be the best bike out there.

On the X Games-
I would like to do some different disciplines next year. Its a huge event for you, but at the same time there is no pressure. They have it down. ESPN has the TV time ad that is what everyone wants. They have a rule that they go by and athletes are #1.

On what made RC RC, luck or is there a secret to this?
We drew the good straw, there is no secret.
