After racking up a record-breaking 11 American Motorcyclist Association Amateur National titles James Stewart was named Rookie of the Year in his debut pro season in 2002. Two years later, he won both the AMA 125 East Supercross Championship and the AMA 125 Motocross National Championship, and in 2008, he became the second rider in history after Ricky Carmichael to complete and perfect motocross season - 24 wins in 24 races - after coming back from knee surgery, no less. He capped off his perfect season with the 2008 AMA Speed Athlete of the Year award. But the athlete many call "the Tiger Woods of supercross" has made another indelible impression on the sport by breaking its glass ceiling to become the first African-American to dominate in motocross. After a disappointing hand injury at the start of 2010, James looks to return and dominate the second half of the season. (from JS7.com)
