Emig will work alongside Ricky, Mrs. Carmichael and other RCU faculty members to teach the class of 100 students.  The combined knowledge of this year's faculty will provide riders with expertise in all levels of the sport of Supercross.
"I am honored to be a part of RCU for the second year in a row.  Last year I really enjoyed spending the day with the all of the students," said Emig.  "Daytona is such a special place, I know what it's like as a pro to experience it for the first time and I can only imagine what kind of experience it is for the students."
In addition to being a past AMA Supercross Champion and Daytona Supercross winner, Emig is currently a color analyst for the SPEED and CBS coverage of Monster Energy AMA Supercross, as well as a team manager for Fox Racing.
"I'm really happy to have Jeff back as an instructor this year.

Emig taught at RCU last year and focused on the basic foundation of starting technique, his specialty. He is one of several guest professors that will form the faculty for the Ricky Carmichael University classes at Daytona International Speedway.
"I'm going to try to bring a bike with me this year, that way I can demonstrate some of the techniques to the class," the former Daytona Supercross winner added.
