Welcome to a new feature called: Most Likely. It’s such a banger that our friends at Michelin have already jumped on board! So, go buy some new tires for your entire lineup!
Each week, Slaw, Troy, and Denny Stephenson will come up with some topics and then list the riders most likely to accomplish those feats. Hence the title “Most Likely”. Most would call us brilliant. This week, we send our best to our boy Den Dog as he’s recovering in the hospital after being the victim of a road rage incident. So, we had Chili Dog Wes step in and help out this week!
Which rider is most likely over all of the rain this season?
Slaw Dog: EVERY SINGLE ONE
T-Dog: Phil. I heard he wasn’t having a good time in Seattle.
Chili Dog: Me… I am a rider/racer again now, so this answer qualifies. Could also see Jett being over it. It seems as if his win streaks end when mother nature rains on his parade.
Is Pro circuit most likely or most likely not going to win both SX titles?
Slaw Dog: Most likely. Party in the PC pits!
T-Dog: I’m not going to count the eggs before they hatch, so I’ll whisper…yes. I can’t believe I just put this out in the universe. If this doesn’t happen then it’s all our fault…
Chili Dog: Whoever wrote this question, WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO MITCH?!?! But since it’s been lobbed into the ethos, I shall replay with a resounding F YES. I need more photos of Mitch double chugging, that shit makes me happy.
Which rider is most likely to win the 450SX Triple Crown?
Slaw Dog: Jett
T-Dog: Sigh Jettson
Chili Dog: Let’s go Cooper [Webb]… let’s make this Championship a barn burner!
Which rider is most likely to win the 250SX Triple Crown?
Slaw Dog: Kitchen
T-Dog: Kitchen seems to have mastered these, so Chef is gonna cook!
Chili Dog: If the title is going to PC, we gotta be unanimous on Kitchen.
Which privateer is most likely to sleep in their van after the race?
Slaw Dog: Har Dog
(Editor’s Note: Har Dog forgets what sleeping in a van and driving to the races is all about. Sad.)
T-Dog: Starling, because I know he has been.
Chili Dog: Does Cody Groves count, even if he’s not at that actual race?
Is Michael Mosiman most likely to win the ‘Comeback Rider of the Year’ award? Does this exist?
Slaw Dog: No and no. I’d go Romano if it did.
T-Dog: I think Forkner deserves to be in the running, even with one win, but Slaw is onto something with Romano. Romano sat out all last year and has been doing pretty well lately.
Chili Dog: Mosiman needs to back up the speed with some results, then we can talk.
Which rider is most likely to Chiz?
Slaw Dog: Lux Turner
T-Dog: Chiz is gonna Chiz.
Chili Dog: Masterpool
Which current Star Racing Yamaha 250 rider (besides Deegan) is most likely to have the best 450 career?
Slaw Dog: Hmmm. I’ll go Dax.
T-Dog: Daxton Bennick is the truth. He’s going to be better on a 450 than he is a 250. MARK MY WORDS.
Chili Dog: I have kids, and one thing we don’t do is wish away time. Even though they scream all night sometimes and you secretly tell yourself, “I can’t wait til I don’t have to deal with this shit anymore,” WE DO NOT ACTUALLY MEAN IT. Therefore, I refuse to answer this question. Let the boys be boys while they can be boys. But yea, Dax is a pretty solid choice, guys.
Which rider is most likely to miss St. Louis because they think it’s an East Coast round?
Slaw Dog: Cade
T-Dog: The MotoConcepts team.
Chili Dog: Slawdog? Oh wait, he didn’t show up to the Gypsy500, either, so he’s technically not a rider in my opinion. Therefore, I gotta go with myself, again, since I’m a rider. I had NO IDEA we were headed to an East Coast round. I like it!
Out of Ken Roczen, Cooper Webb, Mark Barnett, and Kent Howerton, which rider are you most likely to pick as the best career?
Slaw Dog: Webb
T-Dog: Ken Roczen
Chili Dog: Carson Brown, he’d smoke them all in 1980.
Is Eli Tomac most likely or most likely not going to go beast mode in St. Louis?
Slaw Dog: Not. I’ve lost hope.
T-Dog: Most likely not. I still have hope for outdoors.
Chili Dog: HE HAS TO!!! I’m here for you, Eli. I haven’t forgotten about your amazing skills and ability. This week, I was looking through 2009 Lake Whitney and Oak Hill footage when you moved over to Honda, where beast mode started. It’s in you, it’s always been in you. Get on the top of the box, bro!
Is Bobby Reagan most likely or most likely not going to sign Chili Dog Wes to a deal now that he’s a racer again?
Slaw Dog: Why not? They have like 800 riders. What’s one more.
T-Dog: I’ve heard Bob Dog has been in talks with the Williams camp about a potential outdoor ride. I’d love to see it happen if they can settle on a price.
Chili Dog: I’ll be honest, I started the rumor above. But rumors spread like wildfire. It’s sure to get back to Bobby at some point, and then he’s going to question who I am, my abilities, and potential future career. He’ll probably send me the contract immediately over instagram DM, but I will have to make sure he realizes Couch to Race is my program – with a healthy dose of snowboarding and Coors Light mixed in. But if that’s not a recipe for EXTREME success, I’m not sure what is. Talk to you soon, Bob.
