James Stewart Jr. (born December 21, 1985), also known as Bubba Stewart, is an American former professional motocross racer who competed in the AMA Motocross Championship and the AMA Supercross Championships. Through his years of racing, he earned the nickname "The Fastest Man on The Planet".[2]

Stewart is third in all time 450 Supercross wins (50), and second all-time in AMA outdoor national wins (48). He also developed the "Bubba Scrub" or just "scrub", which became a fundamental skill needed to compete in motocross.[3]

He was the first to host his own television show, Bubba's World. He brought in endorsement deals paying him over $10M a year throughout his career.

Stewart won the Motocross of Nations twice and the World Supercross title three times. Additionally, he won four AMA Supercross Champion titles and three AMA Motocross Champion titles. He won the Red Bull Straight Rhythm in both 2014 and 2015.
