Getting to Know Christian Briggs
The NEMA Lites might be a tick slower than their full sized cousins, but the action couldn’t be any hotter when those thousand pound rockets hit the speedway. The talented drivers that wheel those winged rockets range from young rookie men and women to the aged veteran, and among them, fielding 2 cars for the 2014 season is Christian Briggs. The passion he shows for this sport can only be topped by his outstanding personality.
