- In 1980, Mike Bell won the Supercross class championship, but did not win a single race in 1981. He earned eight podium finishes and finished second in points
- In 1982, Donnie Hansen won the Supercross class championship, but an injury kept Hansen out of the entire 1983 season
- In 1997, Jeff Emig won the Supercross class championship, stopping Jeremy McGrath’s four year run of consecutive championships. Emig would not win a single race in 1998
- In 2003, Ricky Carmichael won the Supercross class championship for the third consecutive year. He took 2004 off due to a knee surgery, and Chad Reed won his first Supercross class championship
- Ryan Dungey won the 2010 Supercross class championship, and through 10 races in 2011, he is winless but has seven podium finishes.
