Jeremy McGrath also known as "The King of Supercross", is a household name. He can be seen on the supercross track, the rally truck track, hillclimbs, and is often seen on the Honda commercials. He has won a record 72 races on his 250cc, his plate number is 2, and he rides for Honda. The odd thing is, most people only know that he raced with Honda, but in 2003 he signed with KTM but only raced once before crashing and later retireing. McGrath has brought Supercross to where it's at today. Most fans would argue that without McGrath riders like, Carmicheal, Stewart, Dungey, and Villipoto would not be where they are at today. McGrath has a wide range of fans, from the moto track to truck track, no matter w hat he does, he will ALWAYS have his loyal fans. In 2005, his moto fans where happy to see him back on the track racing and coming in the top 5 postions, but fans also where shocked to hear that the 2006 Invitational would be the last Professional race of his career. McGrath was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame. No matter if he races or not, McGrath will always be part of Supermoto history.
