CHRISTIAN CRAIG
Now, almost a full season into his comeback from retirement, Christian Craig is currently holding the third place hand coming into the final deal of the season. Having won his first career main event earlier this year in Glendale, Arizona, Craig has been all systems go all year
long. He’s proven that support and motivation are extremely beneficial to the aspiring motocross champion. With five podiums
and seven races in the top five, Christian has utilized the constant competitiveness to help secure his current placement in the
standings and looks to continue his luck in the fifteen lap gamble that has come to decide the fate of 2016. Coming into Vegas,
Craig has the clean image, puts in the work and has the ability to be a spoiler in every race he enters, let alone the east/west
battle round where anything goes as far as points are concerned. Having sizeable margin over 4th place Osborne, Craig wouldn’t
need to worry about losing his podium spot in points. Instead, Christian had the opportunity to spice up the leaderboard using a
Saturday night re-raise with some highly regarded west coast influences.
