Winning the AMA 250cc Supercross Championship is a dream that requires exceptional speed, strength, consistency, determination, and skill. Achieving this feat seven times in eleven seasons is a remarkable reality for Jeremy McGrath, hailed as the greatest supercross competitor. Known as "Showtime," a nickname given by his father Jack during his BMX days, McGrath's charisma and flair helped elevate supercross into the mainstream, attracting major sponsors like MCI and Budweiser and earning him appearances on popular shows like David Letterman and Jay Leno. This book showcases stunning photography from Dirt Rider magazine, chronicling McGrath's racing journey from his BMX beginnings to his retirement and beyond. Authored by Ken Faught, McGrath's lifelong friend and a seasoned motorjournalist, it offers insights into McGrath's tumultuous relationship with Honda, the pivotal deal that led him to Suzuki in 1997, and the formation of the Chaparral Yamaha team. Ken Faught, the editor-in-chief of Dirt Rider, has an extensive background in off-road motorcycle racing, having participated in the International Six Days Enduro and won numerous amateur titles. He currently resides in Corona, California.
