Ricky Carmichael is recognized as the most successful AMA Supercross/Motocross rider in the business.
In addition to Carmichael’s many titles and championship wins, he has the distinction of having recorded the first ever perfect season during the 2002 250cc National Championship, a feat he repeated in 2004. He also holds the all-time record for AMA championships and wins.
Carmichael’s career ended after the Amp’d Mobile AMA Supercross Series at Orlando’s Citrus Bowl. After a 20 lap battle, James Stewart claimed the win, leaving Carmichael to finish his career with a second-place finish.
Although Ricky Carmichael has retired from Motocross, he isn’t about to sit around and enjoy the life of a retiree. Carmichael is embarking on his new career in stock car racing. He has always made it known that he had an interest in pursuing his NASCAR dream. He entered into a developmental contract with Ginn Racing/MB2 Motorsports. The deal includes plans for Carmichael to be entered in a NASCAR Busch Series car during the 2008 season. There is also talk that Carmichael may drive in the Craftsman Truck Series in late 2007.Suite101
