James “Bubba” Stewart eyes NASCAR

Could motocross great James "Bubba" Stewart leave motocross to pursue a career in NASCAR?

"I'm trying to convince him four wheels are better than two," said Max Siegel, the president of global operations at Dale Earnhardt Inc.

Stewart was Siegel's guest on Sunday; it was the first Cup event he has attended. The 22-year-old phenom said Siegel has "hinted around with it a lot" about putting him in a developmental program.

"Yeah, I'd like to try it," he said. "Once I came down, saw all the people, all the merchandise, that definitely interests me."

Stewart reminded that there were five times as many people at the 500 [185,000] as there are at a motocross event. ESPN.com
