The stars came out in Nashville for SuperMotocross Round 13: Theo Von, Brantley Gilbert, included guests

Round 13 of the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) may have been a day race, but Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, was filled with stars running the gamut of premier athletes, podcasters, and musicians. Nashville is known for its wide diversity of entertainment, and the Monster Energy Supercross series brought them out in droves. From comedian and popular podcaster Theo Von, who greeted Eli Tomac upon the completion of his heat win, to country music star and guest of Cooper Webb, Brantley Gilbert, record-setting Paralympian Victoria Arlen, and several members of the Tennessee Titans, fans had multiple opportunities for stargazing.

Jeremy McGrath’s Holeshot Challenge Round 13 got underway with Jeremy McGrath's Holeshot King Challenge. Won by Axell Hodges earlier this season during the Daytona Supercross and last year by Chad Reed when it was part of the Motocross of Nations at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, McGrath still sought his first victory when the SuperMotocross League took over Broadway Avenue, just on the opposite side of the river from the stadium. “You’re just concentrating on the gate, thinking, ‘Man I haven’t done this in a while,’ " McGrath said during Saturday's Race Day Live show.

"But it’s supposed to be about laughs and fun and getting the old guys out. "But when you get that helmet on, you want to throw down. " McGrath was part of the final pair in the bracket-style event, facing long-time rival and NBC analyst Ricky Carmichael.

“I haven’t had this much fun on a motorcycle in a really long time," Carmichael said. "What [McGrath has] been able to create is awesome. ” The competitive nature persists, but 25 years after McGrath, nicknamed the King, and Carmichael, the GOAT, competed for the coveted holeshots that ensured track position for so many Supercross and Motocross races, there is more respect than rivalry.
