Hailed in Supercross/motocross as the "Greatest of all Time" (GOAT), the now retired Carmichael won more AMA SX/MX races and broke more records than any rider in the sport's history. The only records he didn't break are Jeremy McGrath's 7 Supercross Championships and 72 SX wins. Carmichael dominated AMA Supercross after beating McGrath in 2001 and won every AMA Motocross overall championship he contested from 1997 to 2006. In 2007, he raced a limited schedule and focused part-time on his next career: stock car racing. In 2009, after only two part-time years in car racing, Carmichael moved into the NASCAR Camping World Truck series, where he is contesting 16 races in a #4 Kevin Harvick Inc. Monster Energy Truck.

What's on Marty Smith's mind? The importance of sneakers, how much he'd like to interview Davey Allison, Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s season and much more. "The Six" is back.
