Josh Hill Confirmed For World Supercross Championship
| August 8, 2022
This morning Josh Hill was confirmed for the inaugural World Supercross Championship. The former AMA Supercross race winner was announced as the final rider SX1 for the Craig Dack Racing (CDR) Yamaha team. Hill joins Australia’s Luke Clout (450cc) and Australian Aaron Tanti (250cc) along with fellow American Kyle Chisholm on the CDR Team.
Josh Hill is the second SX1 rider for the CDR Yamaha Team.
“Competing for Craig Dack Racing on a global stage in the FIM-sanctioned World Supercross Championship was a historic opportunity to compelling to pass up,” said Hill. “Craig and the CDR team are going to put all four of us in a great position to compete for podiums every time out. We are going up against the best riders from around the world, so I am really looking forward to the challenge.”
Hill, 33, from Yoncalla, Oregon turned pro in 2006 and has one career AMA Supercross win and 11 podiums in the premier class. He stepped away from full-time supercross racing due to injury in 2015, but has become a fixture in the freeriding scene, while continuing to race supercross intermittently over the past several years.
“Josh brings valuable experience and an engaging personality to the team,” said Craig Dack, team owner of CDR. “We expect him to be in the hunt for podium performances pretty consistently. He’s a great addition to the team.
