AUBURN, CALIFORNIA, JULY 2, 2010

It was a great night of racing at Fast Friday’s Motorcycle Speedway in Auburn at the Gold Country Fairgrounds Friday night.  Billy Janniro continued to rule the scratch program at Fast Friday’s with another impressive win in Friday night’s Division I scratch main event.  Out of lane one and getting an exceptionally good gate as the tapes went up, Janniro got inside of Tommy Hedden in turn one and led from start to finish taking his eighth scratch main win in nine weeks of racing in Auburn this season.  Janniro looked back over his shoulder several times to check the position of Hedden, Bart Bast and Charlie Venegas as he cruised to another victory.  Hedden gave good chase but couldn’t pass Janniro and finished second, Bast was third and Venegas fourth.  Janniro looks to be at the top of his game as the racing program at Fast Friday’s picks up with some great upcoming venues.  On July 9 the annual and very popular North vs. South Civil War Challenge rolls into Fast Friday’s and on July 23 the first round of the 2010 National Speedway Championship will be staged at Auburn’s Gold Country Fairgrounds.

A very excited Daniel Faria of Roseville found his way to the top of the winner’s podium for the first time this year taking first in the Division I handicap main event.  Faria, son of speedway great Mike Faria, in his fourth year of speedway racing has perfected his style winning the handicap main convincingly.  “I really wanted to win, and I did what I had to win and tonight it’s working,” said Faria.  Off the zero line, Faria held off veteran Tommy Hedden, who finished second and Bart Bast who took third.

Colfax’s Thomas Reich says goodbye to Division II with a win in the main event Friday night.  Reich in his first year of racing out of the youth divisions has worked his way through Division III and Friday’s Division II main event win from the 30 yard line puts Reich racing in Division I next week.  Division III was won by Billy Vaughn.

Auburn’s Tyler Warren continues to shine in the Division I youth division with another win Friday night, making six main event wins so far this season.  Warren has been on a winning streak and each week continues to be impressive.  “I changed my sprocket down to a 69 and that seems to have made a difference,” said Warren.  The fifteen year old Warren is in his last year of youth riding and has his sights set competing on the 500cc bikes next season.  Jimmy Lewis won the popular Run What U Brung Division.
