Career

He made his AMA Supercross debut in 1991 and stunned the racing world by winning the 125cc West Region Supercross Championship that year.

His breakthrough came in 1993 when he joined Team Honda and captured his first 250cc Supercross title, launching what would become a dynasty in the sport.

Throughout the 1990s, McGrath dominated the AMA Supercross circuit, winning seven 250cc Supercross Championships (1993–1996, 1998–2000) and becoming the winningest rider in the series’ history with 72 career wins. He was known for his innovative “nac-nac” trick, smooth cornering, and showmanship, all of which helped elevate the popularity of supercross into the mainstream.

He also competed in motocross, although with comparatively less success, as his focus and strengths were clearly in supercross.

Even after retiring from full-time competition in 2003, McGrath remained an icon in motorsports. He made occasional racing appearances, competed in off-road truck events, and took on roles as a brand ambassador and mentor for young riders.

His legacy is cemented through induction into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame and continued involvement in promoting and shaping the future of motocross.
