Charlie "The Edge" Venegas was simply unbeatable in winning all five of his races including the First Division Main Event at Industry Hills.
Venegas drew the pole for the main and had the best start to lead the field into turn one. Buck Blair and Eddie Castro battled behind Venegas down the back straight and left the inside open for Shaun Harmatiuk to take second. Venegas was on cruise control the rest of the way and glided to his second main event win at Industry Hills this season. Harmatiuk finished second and Blair used an outside pass on the last lap to take third away from Castro.
In the first heat race Skyler Greyson went down which caused the leader, Shawn McConnell to slow down in anticipation of a red flag. The red never came out and Mark Dwyer took advantage to collect the win. Venegas cruised to his first win in the next race. Blair fought off Bryan Yarrow for his first win. Castro finished round one with a win over Tommy Hedden.
Round two began with Hedden defeating Greyson. Venegas beat Blair for his second win of the evening. Yarrow trapped from the outside to win race 20. Castro made an awesome outside pass on McConnell on lap three to secure the lead and his second win.
Blair beat Hedden for his second win to begin round three. Greyson led race 25 before being passed by Harmatiuk on the outside to take the lead and the win. Venegas kept his score perfect in the next race. Yarrow handed Castro his first loss in the final heat race.
Blair got the best start in the first semi while Yarrow tried to make the outside work in an effort to take the lead. Blair remained on the inside line while Yarrow's wide line slowly carried him backward and allowing Harmatiuk to take second. Blair and Harmatiuk held their positions to take the transfers to the main. Venegas led the second semi from start to finish with Castro holding off a spirited outside attack from Dwyer to get the other transfer. McConnell used the inside gate to his advantage with a wire-to-wire win in the Consolation.
Steve Murray dominated the Second Division Main Event for an easy win on his first night at Industry Hills in 2006. Eloy Medellin finished second, Vince Giamformaggio was third, and Johnny Lupo finished fourth.
Travis Henderson battled with Kim Stevens on lap one of the Third Division Main Event before pulling ahead as they exited turn four. Henderson was cruising to an easy victory when he slowed dramatically entering turn three the final time. Sam Stavros closed quickly and was able to steal the win just inches shy of the finish. A dejected Henderson had to settle for second, Stevens was third, and Mike Lane was fourth.
Krystal Cramer passed Joey Holt on the last lap to take her fifth straight Youth Main Event win. Holt was second, Gino Manzares finished third, and Russell Green was fourth.
Kacey Hedden was victorious in the Pee Wee Main after Braydan Galvin narrowly missed winning despite an 80 yard handicap. Annissa Venegas finished third.
