May 15, 2018 – Irvine, CA – Fox Racing proudly announces a partnership with GEICO Honda rider #32 Christian Craig to wear Fox racewear during his assault on the 2018 AMA 450 Motocross Championship. Christian will fill in at factory Honda on the CRF450R for the entire outdoors series. He will make his debut in Fox at the opening round of the 2018 outdoor series at Hangtown on May 19th

“I think it’s every rider’s dream to wear Fox I’ve actually never put the gear on until a couple of weeks ago and it was kind of surreal. The comfort and style are unlike anything else on the market and I am honored to be able to wear it this summer for outdoors.” – Christian Craig, GEICO Honda

“Connecting with a rider like Christian felt like a great fit for us. His work ethic, family commitment and genuine love of racing falls right in line with our values as a brand. We are looking forward to a great outdoor season with Christian on the 450” – Chris Onstott, Global Sports Marketing Director

I hope he crushes it outdoors.

Seems like a good guy as well. Him and Roczen should make for a good group of guys this summer.

Last week Fox was all about Wheelie boyz.

This week they're all about work ethic, family commitment and genuine love of racing. Whistling

Still in Astar rather than Fox Instincts?
Christian is technically under contract by GEICO and on-loan to HRC. The FC GEICO Honda team is still contracted to wear A-Stars boots, 100% goggles and 6D helmets for 2018.

I'm happy for him, he's such a good guy...very humble also. The sport could use more personalities like his.

Any word as to why CC is with Fox and not Shift like the rest of the Geico team? Does this have anything to do with them being owned by the same company?

Fox probably wants to be associated with the HRC team and its riders when available (Seely under contract with TLD) and Shift is associated with the satellite team.

Remember when Ricky wore Astars with his Fox gear on Honda? It was a cool look.

That's typically what you try to do as a business, make money. Diversification is smart. Is the total number of motocross riders increasing at this point? Where I live right now there isn't a single place to ride without getting in trouble. Are sales of motocross gear going up?

That said, I do think they should pick which brand they want to play the "bad boy" image. I thought that would happen with Shift and Roczen. Pushing FOX as the family brand.
