Exhaust #332: Forkner's Announcent, Triumph Changes, Silly Season and More
Jason Weigandt reflects on Austin Forkner's career, one with amazing promise and plenty of wins, but also far too many big injuries. Forkner could be a front runner in the 450 class right now, but racing had other plans for him, and now he feels like dirt bikes were here to show him something else. They might have saved his life. Meanwhile, the team he rides for, 5.11 Triumph Racing, made staff changes recently by letting Team Manager "Scuba" Steve Westfall go. Where's the team headed? What about the other newcomers like Ducati and Beta? Where's the Husqvarna support going now that the factory team is shutting doors at the end of the year?

Exhaust #323: How Roczen Wins with the Fans First
Ken Roczen owned Cleveland for Monster Energy AMA Supercross, with multiple events on Friday that didn't distract him from the racing task at hand. In fact, they probably enhanced it. Because everyone wants Ken Roczen to win right now--well, maybe everyone save Honda and Hunter Lawrence--but even his title rival would have to admit Ken is a good guy and this season has made for a great story. Jason Weigandt was actually with Ken at the Cleveland events on Friday and called the race for the fans on Saturday, and they went wild for the 94. Here's why.
