Jeremy McGrath Supercross 1996

Jeremy McGrath was almost perfect in 1996. But not quite.

On April 27, 1996, Jeremy McGrath came into the St. Louis Supercross with a record 13 consecutive race wins. He was two wins away from a perfect season. But inside the Trans World Dome, Superman fell short of perfection. It was the only blemish in an otherwise dominant season and the rest of the world won’t let him forget it.

This is the audio version of the story by the same title. It includes bonus content, including audio from the ESPN2 race coverage of St. Louis 1996 (Art Eckman and David Bailey!) To read the printed version of this story, CLICK HERE.
