Amazingly, in 25 years, only seven riders have won the biggest prize in American motorcycle racing, the AMA Supercross Championship. Since 1993, when the greatest supercross rider of all time, the GOAT of indoor racing, Jeremy McGrath, won his first AMA Supercross Championship, only McGrath, Jeff Emig, Ricky Carmichael, Ryan Dungey, Chad Reed, James Stewart and Ryan Villopoto have been crowned AMA SX champ.

Not surprisingly, all seven are in the top 11 of all time list. Of course with all but Reed now retired, a new champion will be crowned in 2018 (unless Reed can pull off the impossible). In the first 19 years of the AMA SX championship there were 13 different riders crowned.
