His style is awesome! It looks like he was cruising just before the whoops. I thought several times that something happened to him and he was about to pull of. Just awesome!

He made my night. So happy for CC38. To see a guy retire from the sport with so much talent was sad honestly and bummed me out on the sport. But then to see him get another chance, hold off Webb in the heat and give him fits in the main was so much fun to watch. Even though Webb won again, just seeing great racing like that was awesome. Nice fn Job Christian Craig! Keep building on this brother!

Great to see him ride like that, he has so much talent just like his dad.

To be up here leading races after his injuries and quitting racing for while is cool. Would be nice to see him win one.

If they had a Comeback Rider of the Year award (after just a few races, yeaaah) it'd be Craig or Weimer.

Best part of the night. If we could only get some lead swaps back and forth in the 450 class

My take on that ride was that he was trying to get into Coopers head. I could tell he didn't have Coop's speed, but for a while he seemed to be toying with him. I thought for a short while that Webb would lose his cool and screw up, but he must be a bit more strong willed than I gave him credit for. It was fun to watch and I was hoping Osbourne would get into it also.

Let's say you're Webb, do you enjoy battles like that as a fun race or do you just get pissed?
I have to think after all said and done, it made for fun race for him. "I tried this, then that, then this again,
finally..."

I agree. I believe Cooper and Christian did have fun. There were no dirty tactics from either and it turned out to be a great battle.

Christian is super talented and it is great to see him coming into his own. I hope he continues to get better. The more stars this sport can create, the better.

Best battle of the year by far and sure hoping for more of it. Props to the Dunge for sure but the 450's are turning out to be a snoozer already.

Webb said he had fun, sure; but he ripped that tearoff like sum bitch who was over it over the triple before the finish. Dude was fed up with the back and forth cat and mouse games. I personally loved it, i have always been a fan of Craigs and love to watch the guy ride. I hope for more of it!

with a little better fitness craig could hang with cooper I think possibly. you could tell he didn't have the same energy once Zach was behind him but still a great ride and a heat race win over cooper too
