Costa Mesa SpeedwayOrange County Fairgrounds Speedway Costa Mesa Speedway - September 8, 2018 Former Under 21 National Champion Austin “All Throttle” Novratil won the Scratch Main Event and ended Billy Janniro’s main event winning streak at five at the world famous Costa Mesa Speedway. “Mad” Max Ruml and Janniro started in gates one and two, respectively, and they battled into turn one in the Scratch Main Event. Their tussle took them wide into turn two and Novratil wisely turned back underneath them exiting turn two. His quick thinking paid off as he charged into the lead on the back straight. Max Ruml and Janniro then had to turn their attention toward the leader instead of each other. Max Ruml led the pack trying to catch Novratil but it was to no avail. Novratil cruised to the victory, Max Ruml finished second, Janniro was third, and Gage Geist came home fourth.
