“I didn't like having it, but I tried not to even think about it.” —Broc Glover

Glover isn’t the only pro who’s been hesitant to run the #13 through the years. Former #13 Blake Wharton dug deep into the history of this (possibly?) unlucky number, and here he reads his feature "Unlucky 13?" from the April 2023 issue of Racer X magazine.

Anaheim 1 for Monster Energy AMA Supercross and the SuperMotocross World Championship has come and gone, but today we get the highest level of perspective on the sport. In the audio from this week's SMX Insider show (check out the SuperMotocross channel on YouTube), Jason Weigandt, Daniel Blair, and SuperMotocross stat man Clinton Fowler get in a 30-minute chat with three of the best in the history of the sport. Ryan Villopoto, Jeremy McGrath, and Ricky Carmichael are on the show to talk about hot topics like Eli Tomac, Chase Sexton, Malcolm Stewart, the advancing age of top riders in the sport, how Jett Lawrence needs to focus past the hype, and more. It's a great time with the greats. Thanks to Feld Motor Sports for handing us the audio from this week's show to use for our Exhaust Podcast.

Jason Weigandt, Steve Matthes, Jason Thomas, and Kris Keefer dig in deep for our annual Monster Energy Racer X Supercross Season Preview Shows, and we've provided the audio-only version here for those who don't want to spent two hours watching on YouTube. The boys talk 450s and 250s here, from top riders to privateers to Matthes' annual rant on 250 riders not declaring coasts (BUT the 250 teams actually did declare since we recorded these shows!).

The biggest fights? Is Chase Sexton now at the top tier of the group and ahead of a previous champion like Cooper Webb in the preseason favorites list? Matthes and Weigandt fight on that one, and then Matthes and JT argue about the 2023 Yamaha YZ450F and how that might impact Eli Tomac and more. Oh, and Ken Roczen on a Suzuki! Much to talk about.

When Jeff Stanton wants to talk, we listen, because few people in this world are more straightforward and no-nonsense than the six-time AMA National Champion. On a cold December Monday morning in Michigan, we caught him working (of course) but also looking to do some bench-racing. Stanton has had a relationship with Triumph for several years now as part of his Jeff Stanton Adventures bike riding tours, but now that brand is planning to race supercross and motocross. We talk to Stanton about that, 2023 Anaheim, Chase Sexton, Eli Tomac, and more, plus get some tips on how a man's man lives his life.

Triumph's heritage in street and road motorcycles is paving the way for an entry into motocross and supercross, with new bikes and a new team for 2024. The brand announced the key players in the race team last week, and Jason Weigandt went to Angel Stadium to talk to them, including Ricky Carmichael, who sees himself as a general manager in picking talent, team principal Bobby Hewitt, and team manager Stephen “Scuba” Westfall, AMA Hall of Fame inductee Dave Arnold as lead chassis engineer, and Dudley Cramond joins as lead powertrain engineer. Jeremy Appleton, the global racing manager, joins Weigandt as well. We haven't seen the bikes yet, and the team isn't racing until 2024, but when you get to know the people behind the project, it becomes clear how seriously Triumph is taking this project.
