St. Louis: 9Press Conference Quotes from Atlanta****James Stewart"I had to restart my bike and I was having little flashbacks of last week.""It sucks being in the back of the pack because your with guys that aren't up to your speed.""I thought, I could get third but because I was so far back after the first lap, I didn't know how I was going to place.""It's been fun. Chad has stepped it up and I think once we all get up there, it's going to be a three way battle for the lead.""I didn't give myself a chance tonight. I was on the ground again. I need to just stay up on the first corner and then I'll be good from there.""I wish I could just stay up and then I'd have a good chance of winning.""This feels like my rookie year. It's cool to be in the championship hunt.""I knew I had to start the bike or it was over for me."Chad Reed"I got a good start in the heat race.""It was tough to pass on this track.""I realized once again I couldn't be in the back, otherwise I wouldn't have a shot at getting on the podium.""I got the Holeshot, so I was pretty pumped about that""I rode tight. It was weird being out front.""I got in behind Ricky and just followed him. I had some good lines.""I was jumping a few more whoops and I felt like I had one more shot at passing Ricky but then I blew it with just two laps to go.""I'd been riding really well during the week; I just wasn't bringing it to the races. So, I've tried turning it around. My confidence is good and I know I can win.""I have learned that I have to take opportunities. I felt that I rode tight in the beginning of the race but when Ricky passed me, I then just wanted to ride a smart race."Ricky Carmichael"It was a great win. I saw James go down and then I started to catch Chad. I knew that I could get up there with him. Then once I got into second, I started putting in some goods laps and was able to pass (Chad)."Chad hounded me for a while. So, I just tried sticking to my lines. If he got by me he got by me. I'm just outracing to race at this point.""As the track got more wore out. It was tougher to ride harder. So, the gaps became harder to pull. I couldn't really make my mind up on the step on step off and I think that's were Chad started gapping me.""I give it my all, all the time. I think every one has a reserve, but I don't think anyone has a reserve for twenty laps""I did what I had to do. I raced consistent laps.""I'm just racing to race. I have never been in this position before. I feel a little cheated. It sucks, because now Chad can just coast into Vegas. Chad has a pretty nice points lead on James. So, really where's the fun and excitement in racing, other than race wins for me. ""The hell with supercross, I'm just going to start working towards outdoors and Daytona at this point.""I'm ashamed for the guys on the team. We run a FIM fuel that is the hardest and worst gas made. Performance wise it's not very good. We're not dealing with a two stroke. So, it's not like we're trying to find horsepower, we got plenty of that. I'm still beside myself. As competitive as the racing is getting, anything can happen."I just send my gas off and it comes back and then somebody tells you it fails. We've all been busted for it.""I'm disappointed for the team, we all put too much time, training, work and way too much money to sit on the side lines and watch Chad and James go at it. So it's frustrating, it disappoints me more for the team than it does for myself.""I'm not out here chasing my first supercross title. If I was it would be a lot different story. I'd probably be a lot more upset. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely disappointed but life goes on.""It's a shame. I see a lot more ways the AMA could improve so we're not put into these types of situations. It's not fair to the teams and sponsors. If they don't let me appeal, than maybe I'll just see you guys at Sacramento.""Mine wasn't even a percent. It's not fair to us riders. Us riders should just stand up. Their changing the tracks and making the tracks better. Why doesn't AMA buy the fuel?They can then pump the fuel for us riders and then you'll know if it comes back failing, than obviously somebody tampered with it.""I do think AMA should adjust some rules for everybody's sake, not just for my sake. There changing the track and trying to make it a good series but they just wiped me out. So, you couldn't have scripted it any better after what happened last week. So, they had the perfect series anything they ever wanted.I wasn't incompliance and they docked me twenty five points. Everything is history now for me.""But I think the riders need to get together because it's not fair. It's not fair to the teams and sponsors. We're spending way too much to be penalized.""First thing, I think its sabotage, but it's easy to think that.""However, how it ends is how its end. If I keep racing I'm going to get beat one year. Mentally, if you know you're the guy, it's a great feeling."If I were to walk away from here, I'd be happy with what I have accomplished. I'm doing it for the love of racing right now. ""Whoever wins the title, I'm sure would rather have beaten me heads up. That's the way I would want it. ""It's upsetting, but what's done is done. Hopefully, everyone can learn from this. Once again, it's not fair to any of us. It's just a shame."Past Winners: RCA DOME - Indianapolis, IN AMA Supercross
