Oakland SX: Craig claims 250SX main event win

Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha Christian Craig shot to double victory with a heat race and main event win in Oakland for round two of the championship series.

Troy Lee Designs GasGas’s Michael Mosiman grabs his fifth 250SX heat race win in Oakland, in front of his home crowd as Monster Energy Yamaha Christian Craig claims the Heat race two win.

Heading into the main event, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Jo Shimoda shot out the gate to grab the holeshot for the 250’s, followed by Smarttop Bull frog Honda’s Vince Friese in second, but Craig quickly made the pass on Friese to move into second place.

Twisted Tea Suzuki’s Carson Mumford then had a huge off on the whoops section, as Jo Shimoda did the shame going over the bars doing a huge cartwheel and somehow managed to remount and continue the moto. HRC Honda’s Hunter Lawrence then started to charge through the pack as he made the pass on Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker.

Christian Craig then went on to win the 250SX Main event followed by Lawrence, and Hammaker, with Mosiman and Thrasher rounding up the top five. Brit rider Dylan Woodcock had a much better result in this weekend’s supercross round making the 250SX Main event, as Revo Seven Kawasaki’s Dylan Walsh just missed out in the LCQ.
