Harley Night
July 18, 2009 - Victorville
By: Ryan Evans

Shaun Harmatiuk came from behind to win the main event on Harley Night in front of the largest crowd of the season at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville.

Tim Gomez got the best start in the First Division Main Event and led the field into turn one. Gomez was still leading entering turn three, but went deep into turn three to avoid the wet inside groove that had caused problems in the preceding races. The move caused him to lose speed and allowed Shaun Harmatiuk to gain ground. Shaun Harmatiuk had more momentum as they went down the front straight and took over the lead at the end of lap one. Gomez tried everything to regain the lead, but had to contend with Russell Green and Brad Sauer behind him. That shift in focus allowed Shaun Harmatiuk to pull away for the victory. Gomez held on to second, Green finished third, and Brad Sauer was fourth.

Shaun Harmatiuk began the heats with a win over Robbie Sauer and Philip Harmatiuk. Gomez defeated Green and Brad Sauer in the next heat.

The earned-handicap rounds started with Brad Sauer earning the win over Gomez. Green held off Shaun Harmatiuk to win the next heat. Robbie Sauer beat Philip Harmatiuk in event 19. Shaun Harmatiuk defeated Gomez for his second win in the next heat. Shaun Harmatiuk came from the back to beat his brother, Philip and Robbie Sauer for his third win. Brad Sauer closed out the heats by beating Green for his second win.

Shaun Harmatiuk, Gomez, and Green all scored enough points to go directly to the main. Brad Sauer defeated his brother, Robbie, and Philip Harmatiuk in the Last Chance to book the final place in the main.

Drew Coats was leading the Second Division Main Event before hitting the wet patch of track in turn three and went down. That handed the lead to Tim McGrath who led the rest of the way for the win. Rick Fehrman was second, Butch Waymire finished third, and Coats was fourth.

Mike Wiley led all four laps to collect the victory in the Third Division Main Event. McGrath finished second, Mike Schultz was third, and Arie Gardner finished fourth.

Bradley Wilson made his final race before heading back to New Zealand memorable by winning the Youth Main Event. Nicky Reimer finished second, Samuel Ramirez was third, Maxwell Ruml finished fourth, and Dillon Ruml was fifth.

Reimer didn’t go home empty-handed because he was victorious in the Pee Wee Main Event. Nick Varner finished second, Aaron McLaughlin was third, Angel Adriano finished fourth, Summer Fehrman was fifth, Jayden Fields finished sixth, and Dakota Shockley was seventh.

Amanda Ramirez won both her heats and also won the Powderpuff Main Event. Cassi Novratil finished second, Summer Fehrman was third, Ally McGrath finished fourth, and Julie Shockley was fifth.

Joe Jones and Jimmy Olsen led the Sidecar Main Event through turns one and two before Dave Alexander and Matt Davis took over the lead on the back straight. Alexander and Davis never looked back en route to the win. Jones and Olsen finished second, Gerard Jackson and Dave German were third, and Sean Driggers and Missy Driggers finished fourth.
