It looks safe to say that Craig will win the 250 West coast championship this year. By winning that championship, Craig will be able to select a permanent national number. With Justin Brayton retiring from AMA Supercross/Motocross at the end of this Supercross season, the number 10 will become available. Brayton has earned enough points this season that if he was to return next season he could keep the number 10. However, with him having no plans to race AMA races anymore he could release that number. If all of this happens and Craig does not win the 450 2022 AMA Pro Motocross championship, I would be willing to bet that we will see Craig debut in 2023 on a 450 with his new AMA permanent national number 10.

Also to add, I could see Brayton hanging on to 10 for at least a year. He says he is done BUT......if a team comes calling I think it would be hard for him to not say yes.
Winning The outdoors does, but SX?
Brayton scored enough points to keep number 10 for another year. Could be available if he decides to releases it.
Same goes for 15 if Dean steps away from racing.
Osborne and Tickle have yet to score points, so 16 and 20 should be available next year.
Reed requested to keep the 22 for this year in case he decided to line up. If he does line up he'll have to score 25 points to keep it another year. The number 22 should be available next year.
A number with staying power.

So that's quite a detailed and obscure theory, i personally don't see it happening. But who knows/cares...
And u can only take single digit numbers if your a national champion.
Our national champions are
2 Webb
3 Tomac
6 jmart
7 plessinger
9 ac
14 ferrandis
15 Wilson
18 jett
21 Anderson
94 kenny
I think that's all I may have missed some1.
I'm not sure on the exact rule. If a national champion can only pick single digit the following year. Or if years later then can swap. I have herd they can swap once time later.
Star have tomac and ferrandis for 450s so that team is fine without Craig.
250s have only have nate thrasher fit if they were to race 2moro.
J-coop and j-mart possible won't make rd1
I hear kitchen has a tibia plateau fracture and that can be a long recovery.
Colt had a double arm break. He is ment to be fit for rd1.
Could be interesting.
