Speed is reporting that Jeremy McGrath will quit Supercross after his Invitational Race in October-

Seven-time AMA Supercross Champion Jeremy McGrath announced that his Jeremy McGrath Invitational Supercross at Home Depot Center in Carson, California, on October 6-7, will be his last supercross race ever, in an exclusive phone interview with Motocross Illustrated today.

“I’m for sure on that, and you can print it,” the 34-year-old McGrath said. “I don’t think I’m going to race supercross after my race. As much as I love it, I think I can do without it now.”

34 really is getting “old” for Supercross when you think about the amount of training required to keep in shape. It takes a lot of guts and wisdom to know when to move on to new challenges. It will be interesting to see what he does next.
