Chad Johnson, Arenacross Champion, Team Babbitts Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green
This Arenacross season is shaping into what could be the most competitive in many years. There will be several riders that have a good chance of winning a main event and the most consistent will become champion. Chad Johnson is exactly that when it comes to racing Arenacross. He has proven himself to be patient and has what it takes to win Championships in Arenacross. This year he comes back with the number one plate and will have his hands full to defend it. We welcome back the “Champ” to the program to talk about this Arenacross season that starts January 2 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Nick Wey, Boost Mobile Yamaha of Troy, Supercross Racer
This year Nick joins the “Fifth Dragon” team alongside Jason Lawrence. While these two riders seem to be the opposite it will be interesting to see how they mesh as teammates. Nick has been a member of this team before – way back in 2001 on a 125 two-stroke. After the 2008 season, Nick found himself without a ride and even purchased a CRF 450 at a dealership. We will talk about how this relationship with YOT came about and see how he’s feeling about his SX season that starts this weekend in Anaheim.
