Industry Racing, CA, USA - July 11 "Battling" Buck Blair made a daring move to win the main event to conclude an evening full of action at Industry Racing. Charlie "The Edge" Venegas entered the main event undefeated and elected to start from gate one. His choice appeared to pay off when he left the starting line first. Blair, who started in gate four, went to the outside in turns one and two and was alongside the former National Champion on the back straight. The pair was wheel-to-wheel through turns three and four but Blair found more traction on the outside. Venegas drifted wide in attempt to block Blair, but the Colorado native squeezed between him and the fence and dropped in front of Venegas entering turn one to secure the lead. Venegas spent three laps trying to retaliate, but was unable to force an error. Blair was first to the checkered flag, Venegas had to settle for second, Aaron Fox finished third, and Tyson Burmeister was fourth. Blair kicked off the heats with a win over Neil Facchini. Northern California's Tommy Hedden led the next heat before sliding off and bringing out the red flag. Gino Manzares was victorious in the restart. Burmeister defeated Russell Green in the next heat. Venegas beat Fox to end the first round. Fox started the second round with a win over Robbie Sauer. John Marquez beat Hedden in event 17. Blair won his second straight race ahead of Manzares. Venegas beat Burmeister to finish round two. Fox began round three by defeating Facchini. Marquez beat Steve Russell for his second win in a row. Burmeister defeated Blair for his second win. Venegas remained unbeaten by beating Hedden to end the heats. Burmeister and Blair finished one-two in the first semi and both transferred to the main event. In the second semi Venegas won his fourth straight race and Fox followed him into the main. Marquez made the best start in the Consolation, but Hedden made the outside work and powered around him for the lead. Hedden led the rest of the way for the win. Marquez was second, Manzares finished third, and Facchini was fourth. Stephen Simrak led all four laps en route to victory in the Third Division Main Event. Paul Thornton finished second, Chris Wiggins was third, and Dave Trout finished fourth. Braden Sauer led the Youth 250cc Main Event before going down on the second lap and Dillon Ruml took over the lead. Dillon Ruml led the next three laps but his brother, Max Ruml, closed ground on him challenged on the final lap. Dillon Ruml didn't succumb to the pressure, though, and led to the finish. Broc Nicol finished third and Braden Sauer was fourth. Courtney Crone led the Youth 200cc Main Event for two laps before Sebastian Palmese went by. Palmese tried to stretch his lead but Braydan Galvin, who started from the 70 yard line, was gaining ground fast. Palmese led as they entered the final corner but Galvin found enough traction to narrowly beat him to the finish line. Crone was third, Gino Scopellite finished fourth, Dylan Smith was fifth, and Tristan Britt finished sixth. Pee Wee rider Luke Whitcomb was being followed around by a film crew who are part of a production crew producing a video presentation. That idea was formulated after Conner Cruise, son of actor Tom Cruise, was in attendance a couple weeks ago. Whitcomb put aside the distractions and won the Pee Wee Main Event. Keelan Venegas finished second, Walker Calvo was third, Nick Dunn finished fourth, Jake Trout was fifth, and Jake Isaac finished sixth. Eleven sidecars were on the program headlined by three teams that were visiting from Australia. All three teams made the Sidecar Main Event and were joined by Dylan Beard and David Crews. Mark Griffiths and Lionel Cornwell led from start to finish and collected the victory. Phil Hudson and Eli Wright finished second, Beard and Crews were third, and Shane Hudson along with American passenger Nick Hertrick were fourth. The next event at Industry Racing is Bruce Flanders Ugly Hawaiian Shirt Night. The evening honors the motor sports announcing icon and any fan wearing an ugly Hawaiian shirt will receive half off an adult admission. The evening will also include the third Last of the Mohicans Last Man Out Challenge of the season.
