Privateer Chris Canning primarily focuses his efforts on the eastern portion of the Pro Motocross schedule. The Connecticut native has a pro career that dates back to 2011, and despite running only part-time, he’s show consistent improvement with each passing season. The Lucas Oil Stabilizer High Point National served as the 2022 debut for Canning, where he was tasked to go bar-to-bar with a deep field of competitors who had three rounds under their belts. After an impressive qualifying effort of 13th in the 450 Class, Canning got a solid start aboard his GASGAS in Moto 1 and maintain a spot in the top 20 throughout the entirety of the moto to secure his first point of the season in 20th. His fortunes took a hit to begin Moto 2, where he emerged with a 34th-place start and had some serious work to do. From there, Canning relied on his many years of experience and even though it was just his second moto of the season, he made an impressive charge through the field to pass 17 riders en route to a well-earned 17th-place finish. The resilient ride gave Canning four more points and landed him 18th overall (20-17) for a memorable season debut and the INTENSE RC HARD CHARGER AWARD at High Point.
