Windham, KevinDescription
As an ironman in his own right, Kevin Windham’s 19-year AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross career is one for the history books. After turning professional in 1994, Windham raced to 47 total AMA Pro wins — including 18 Premier class AMA 250/450SX victories. Combining AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross, Windham has the third-most starts (325), third-most points (9,070) and the seventh-most podiums (130). Windham also captured 14 125SX wins, including a pair of victories in East/West Shootouts. Throughout his long, illustrious career, Windham was a consistent presence in AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross title chases. The Centerville, Miss., native raced his way to five second-place finishes in AMA Pro Motocross (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2006) and finished runner-up in AMA Supercross three times (2004, 2008 and 2010). Windham also registered a pair of third-place results in AMA Pro Motocross (2000 and 2004). The most defining moment of Windham’s racing career came at the 1999 FIM United States Grand Prix at Budd’s Creek, Md. After four-time FIM World Champion Stefan Everts declared Europeans the best motocross riders in the world, and labeled American racers as “cowards,” Windham made the Belgian rider eat his words. Aboard his Honda, Windham dominated the field to cruise to the overall victory and secure a massive win for American racers. Windham also represented the United States at the 2005 Motocross of Nations, in which the Americans raced to a first-place finish — edging out France and Belgium for the win. Windham retired from AMA Pro Racing in 2013, returning to the track briefly in 2018 as part of the Puerto Rican Motocross of Nations team, marking the end of a terrific career.Category
