Malcolm and James also become the first brothers to each record a Supercross win in the premier 450SX Class. “Big bro, you know. You’ve done this a long time, racing Daytona and Jacksonville, and you know there’s something about that hometown crowd, buddy. I don’t know if they were twisting the throttle for me, because, for a split second, I was like, ‘Alright I need to get this done.’ I was feeling really good, and you know what, Stewart is back in the whoops, Y’all!” – Malcolm Stewart, being interviewed by his brother and former Supercross Champion James Stewart from the broadcast booth. |
| Malcolm and James enjoy the historic moment together Malcolm Stewart on winning in Tampa after Hurrican Milton devastation:“After the Las Vegas final last season, I was planning on taking some time off and maybe do some fishing and things like that, then we had a hurricane (Milton) come through and I’m sitting in 5 feet of water and my whole house is destroyed…I ran the words Florida Strong on the back of my helmet because I want people to understand that I’m here, I feel you, I feel your pain, and you know we’re all one big family.” |
