Eddie Castro scored 13 points to spearhead the Victorville Vikings victory over the Ridgecrest Aces on Harley Night at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville.

Former National Champion Charlie “The Edge” Venegas got the Aces off to a good start by leading a 4-2 heat with Dale Facchini. After two exclusions reduced the second heat to a match race, Philip Harmatiuk defeated Robbie Sauer to extend the Ridgecrest lead. Castro and Michael Hull teamed up for a 5-1 to give the Vikings their first lead of the match.

Austin Novratil and Philip Harmatiuk combined for a 4-2 to help the Aces regain the lead. Castro and Hull countered with their second 5-1 in a row to give the Vikings a 16-13 advantage. The Aces then ran off four consecutive heat wins starting with Novratil and Marquez combining for a 4-2 heat advantage. Their success was followed by another race being reduced to a pair of riders with Tyson Burmeister defeating Sauer. Dale Facchini and Harmatiuk combined for a 4-2 to give the Aces what would turn out to be their final lead of the evening.

Castro and Hull brought the Aces’ run to a screeching halt with their third consecutive 5-1 and a 27-25 Viking lead. Buck Blair won the first drawn heat of the evening before Venegas and Facchini teamed up for a Ridgecrest 4-2 and tied the match at 32. Another drawn heat left the score tied at 35 with three races left.

Tim Gomez and Blair scored an impressive 5-1 in the pivotal heat 13 to give the Vikings a four point advantage with two races to go.
