Brandon Hartranft (fourth overall
tonight) sits third in points, but
the big story here is Forkner,
who came into Glendale 22
points down on championship
leader Cooper, and leaves only
10 points back.
"I think that's the biggest thing
his overall result destroyed by an
early fall in the first of the three

17TH 250SX WEST
(3-22-22)
It was another tough night for the
Geico Honda Team. If fact, it was so
bad the team will skip next week's
race in Oakland. Chris an Craig, the
team's sole rider on the night now
that Je Lawrence is out with a bro-
ken collarbone suffered at Anaheim
2, will now miss a few rounds with
injuries of his own. "I was super
excited to be back in Glendale. It's
where I won a few years ago and I
just love the dirt, stadium and fans
there," said Craig. "The whoops were
pre y good, too, and didn't break
down much, which suits me well. I re-
ally felt like it was my night to at least
podium, if not be er. The first main
was pre y good. I got the holeshot
then [Aus n] Forkner shot me off
the track. I was able to make my way
up to third from probably seventh or
eighth a er going off the track. I was
pumped on my riding that first main.
Second main I got a mid-pack start
and made my way to probably sixth
pre y quickly in the first lap. A bunch
of us were going into a corner a er
the sand and I grabbed my brake
a li le too hard. So it was just one
thing a er another." Craig le the
track with a cut near his eye and a
broken hand. He hopes to return for
the Sea le Supercross, March 28.
Starts are hurting Dylan Ferrandis, but he still landed second overall.
