BLAKE BAGGETT
Blake has been searching for the path back to the top of the class. The six-year pro has won the championship in the smaller class but is eager to get it done in the premier class. Blake undoubtedly knows what it takes to be a champion. Unfortunately, Crashes, injuries and flat out bad luck have kept him from showing his true potential this year. He made his return to racing last weekend with a solid top ten finish
and will be looking to break into the top five this Saturday in Michigan. Blake is definitely capable of top five finishes but a lack of confidence from missed races is most likely the culprit to his suffering results. As time goes on, Blake will figure it out and should be a contender for the win many years to come. 2016 marks Blake’s second full season in the 450 class and many people forget that. The premier class sophomore is already showing signs of a veteran with only a few races completed this season. The results will come for blake as he builds confidence. The young Florida native will begin to shine again and as long as he can string together some injury free seasons; Blake will definitely be a favorite for top three positions for many years to come. Look for Blake to break into the top 5 before the season is over.
