Some of the hardest workers at Industry have the most fun! Lindsey Leedy, Ally McGrath and Sydney Guenette handled the 50/50 drawing ticket contributions.	The season points leader at Industry, Jimmy Fishback, pads his lead with his 5th main event win. Tonight’s and last Wednesday’s victories came with the pit help of Ray Schmidt while dad is vacationing in Alaska.	The Price was right the whole night for Support Main winner Gabe Price, mechanic Randy DeVault, and dad Rick Valdez
Ron Mongenel failed to sell his bike last week so he rode it to victory in the Support B main tonight.	Brad Pappalardo popped out of his wheel chair with a walking cast for his broken foot tonight. Looks like he’ll miss out on the Under 21 National for this year.	Austin Novratiltakes a little break just before his motor decides to take its own break in the semi. Oh, and he was looking fast tonight!
Eloy Medellin celebrated his birthday with a first division ride tonight, while Ricky Wells celebrated his somewhere in England.	Sebastian Palmese and Michael Wells get together after racing against each other three times. Sebastian bounced back up after twice taking soil samples.

Jimmy "Little Animal" Fishback turned in a perfect performance and captured the main event for the second consecutive week on Harley Night at Industry Speedway.

Fishback entered the main event undefeated and wisely selected gate one to start from. He exploded from the line when the tapes went up and was followed by former National Champion Charlie "The Edge" Venegas. Venegas tried to apply enough pressure to force a mistake from the leader, but no errors were going to occur. Fishback completed his unblemished evening with his fourth main event victory of the 2011 Industry Speedway season. Venegas had to settle for second, Shawn "Mad Dog" McConnell was third, Aaron Fox finished fourth, and "Flyin" Mike Faria was fifth.

Fishback kicked off the heats with a victory over Fox. Austin Novratil beat Venegas in the second heat. "Fast" Eddie Castro beat John "Mongoose" Marquez in the next heat. Faria ended the first round with a win over McConnell.

Faria opened the second round by defeating Castro. Fishback made it two straight wins by beating Marquez. Venegas beat Michael Raines for his first victory. Novratil defeated Bobby "Boogaloo" Schwartz to finish the round two.

Fox beat Schwartz to start the final round. Faria defeated Novratil for his third consecutive win. Fishback beat Castro to match Faria's perfect score. Venegas beat McConnell to complete the heats. Michael Raines beat Tyson Talkington for the final spot in the semis.

Fishback won the first semi to remain unbeaten and was followed into the main by Fox. In the second semi Venegas handed Faria his first defeat but both riders would advance to the main event. McConnell won the Last Chance to complete the main event field.

Gabe Price led all four laps en route to victory in the Support Main Event. Harold Hartke finished second, Jake Myers was third, and Brad Moreau finished fourth.

Kip McClain led the Support B Main Event until Ron Mongenel went by him as they entered turn three. Mongenel never looked back from there and went on to victory. Craig Sprecher finished second, McClain was third, and Kevin Fife finished fourth.

Broc Nicol defeated Braden Sauer to win the Youth 250cc Main Event.

Nicol didn't limit himself to one trophy on the evening as he also was victorious in the Youth 200cc First Division Main Event. Gino Scopellite finished second and Dalton Leedy was third.

Sebastian Palmese led the Youth 200cc Second Division Main Event until he fell in the final corner and handed the victory to Michael Wells.

National Champions Joe Jones and Olsen led from start to finish and collected the win in the Sidecar Main Event. Dylan Beard and David Paine were second, Medberry and Levitt finished third, and Scott Driggers and Casey Driggers were fourth.
