Richard Joseph Carmichael, born on November 27, 1979, in Clearwater, Florida, established himself as a dominant force in motocross and supercross early in his career. After a successful amateur career, Carmichael made his professional debut in 1997 for Splitfire Pro Circuit Kawasaki. He quickly demonstrated his skill in the 125cc class, winning the AMA 125cc Motocross Championship three consecutive times from 1997 to 1999, along with the 1998 AMA 125cc East Coast Supercross Championship, achieving a perfect season with 8 wins. These early successes set the stage for his remarkable career in the premier classes.
Carmichael moved to the 250cc class full-time in 2000, continuing his winning streak by securing the AMA Motocross Championship in his rookie year. Between 2001 and 2006, he amassed an impressive five AMA Supercross Championships (2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006) and seven AMA Motocross 250cc/450cc Championships (2000-2006). Notably, he achieved two undefeated seasons in the outdoor motocross series in 2002 and 2004, winning all 24 motos in each of those years. His sustained dominance earned him the nickname “The GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time) and a record 150 overall motocross wins in AMA history.
Following his retirement from professional motocross in 2007, Carmichael ventured into stock car racing. He competed in the ARCA Racing Series and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series from 2008 to 2011, securing multiple top-ten finishes and winning the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Most Popular Driver award. Since then, Carmichael has remained actively involved in the motorsports industry, contributing to track design, serving as a supercross broadcaster for NBC, and partnering with Triumph Motorcycles in 2021 to assist in the development of their new off-road motorcycle line, which debuted the TF 450-RC in 2024.
