Kelly Moran Tribute Night
September 24, 2010 - Inland Motorcycle Speedway

Billy "The Kid" Janniro warmed up for the U.S. National Championship by winning both main events at Inland Motorcycle Speedway for the second consecutive week on Kelly Moran Tribute Night at IMS.

Janniro started in gate two for the Scratch Main Event and led the field into turn one. "Battling" Buck Blair, who started in gate five, used the outside line to get into second and made a run on the leader on the back straight. Janniro was having none of that, though, and protected his lead as they entered turn three. Blair remained close through two laps before Janniro steadily pulled away. The former Coventry Bee was first to the checkered flag, Blair settled for second, Tommy Hedden was third, Jason Ramirez finished fourth, and Jimmy "Little Animal" Fishback was fifth.

Michael Raines led the eight-rider field at the start of the Handicap Main Event, but all eyes were on Janniro, who started at the 60 yard line. Raines quickly put some distance between himself and the field, but Janniro was carving through the field. He was fourth at the end of lap one and third after two laps. New York's Adam Mittl held Janniro off for three laps before succumbing to the pressure and that left just Raines between Janniro and victory. The former National Champion only needed a lap to dispatch the rookie and he cruised the last two laps to the finish line. Raines held on to second, Mittl finished third, Hedden was fourth, and Tyson Burmeister finished fifth.

Gabe Price, who recently finished third at the Youth National Championship, led all four laps en route to victory in the Support Main Event. Mike Wiley finished second, Jake Myers was third, John Pavia finished fourth, Eloy Medellin was fifth, and Bubba Vazzana finished sixth.

Nicholas Varner defeated Chase Sanborn to win the Youth Main Event.

Revin Easley put together four smooth laps and was victorious in the Pee Wee Main Event. Sebastian Palmese finished second, Dominic Laney was third, Talin Easley finished fourth, Toby D'Avignon was fifth, and Luke Whitcomb finished sixth.

Joe Jones and Jimmy Olsen took a giant step toward retaining their crown by winning the A Final of the first round of the Sidecar National Championship. Bryan Motis and Brandi McElroy were second, Dylan Beard and Crystal Laurie finished third, and Gerard Jackson and Dave German were fourth.
