Addison Equipment Night - San Bernardino, CA, USA - August 2 "Battling" Buck Blair took home the top honors for the second consecutive week on Addison Equipment Night at Pirate Speedway. Tyson Talkington made the best start in the Scratch Main Event but Steve Russell swept around the outside in turn one and took the lead on the back straight. Blair got himself into second and set his sights on the leader. Blair closed the gap on lap two and was right behind Russell when they entered turn one the third time. Blair found plenty of grip on the ample outside and went by the leader on the back straight. Russell tried to pay Blair back on the final lap but was unable to do so. Blair was first to the checkered flag, Russell had to settle for second, Shawn "Mad Dog" McConnell was third, Talkington finished fourth, and "Fast" Eddie Castro was fifth. Five riders entered the semi-finals having only dropped one point apiece after three rounds of heats. Blair led the entire first semi with Castro getting second to join him in the main. McConnell and Talkington finished one-two in the second semi and transferred to the main. Steve Russell won the Last Chance to complete the five-rider field in the Scratch Main Event. Wade Whitcomb led the Support Main Event through the first turn before Ben Stevens slipped by on the back straight for the lead. Chris Jones weaved through traffic and was putting pressure on Stevens on the third lap. Jones charged up the inside as they entered turn one the fourth time and muscled his way by the leader. Jones led the rest of the way and was victorious. Ron Davis finished second, Stevens was third, Kevin Fife finished fourth, Whitcomb was fifth, and Steve "Beach Ball" Brown finished sixth. Dalton Leedy led all four laps en route to victory in the Junior 250 Main Event. Hayley Perrault finished second, Dryden Gayle was third, and Michael Wells finished fourth.
