All of you rabid James Stewart fans out there need to check out ESPNews today at 2:40 p.m. ET / 11:40 a.m. PT, as James will be appearing live as part of ESPN’s Black History Month celebration.
In 2007, James became the first African-American to win a major motorsports title when he claimed the AMA Supercross championship. He followed that up with the 2008 AMA Motocross title, and last year, after moving to the San Manuel Yamaha team, he again won the AMA Supercross championship.

At this point there is no good news or firm date as to when James will be back on the gate and racing again, but we are happy to report to all of the lucky fans who have a ticket to Anaheim 3 tomorrow night that JS will be in the house! While he is forced to sit out of the race anyway due to his recent wrist surgery, James decided to try his hand at a little commentating; he’ll give it a go tomorrow night at Angels Stadium. Even if you’re going, don’t forget to watch the broadcast on CBS at 12 pm ET on Sunday to see what James has to say about his competition…

James returned home to Florida to begin his post-surgery therapy immediately following his wrist procedure last week. Though he’s already feeling much better just five days into his recovery, he unfortunately will not be racing in San Diego this coming weekend.
This from James:
On Friday of last week we decided to get an MRI done on my wrist. The idea of possibly having surgery and missing some races was a tough pill to swallow, but I was in enough pain that I knew something needed to be fixed. The MRI showed a broken scaphoid bone in my right hand, which is not something that I could ride through any longer. I went into immediate surgery that same day to have it repaired, which my doctor and team felt was the only real option.
It’s been five days now since my surgery, and my wrist is already feeling a lot better! Right now I’m following my doctor’s orders so I can get back on the track racing as soon as possible. My plan is to be back out there just as soon as I can ride without pain. It was no fun racing Phoenix and Anaheim 2 this way! There’s not an exact date yet for when I can get back on the bike, but if progress continues as is, I hope to be back very soon.
Thanks to all of my true fans out there for the support!
- James
