Current United States Under 21 National Champion Ricky "The Kiwi Kid" Wells was undefeated in six races and took the main-event victory while the Victorville Vikings defeated the Los Angeles Aces, 42-36, in the Champions Cup at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville.

The first event of the day gave a glimpse of what was in store, as Wells scored his first victory in what would prove to be the start of six consecutive drawn heats in the team event. Rudy Laurer was the victor in the next heat before Wells won his second straight race. Michael Hull held off Greg Ayers for a victory, and that was followed by Wells getting his third straight win. Blair won the next team race, but Hull fell while battling for second, thus allowing the Aces to keep the match deadlocked at 18.

The tie was finally broken when Hull's second victory of the day was backed up by a third from teammate Rohn Zellner to give the Vikings a 4-2 heat advantage and a 22-20 match lead. The lead didn't last long, however, as Allen Doss and Bryan Buffington countered with a 4-2 heat win of their own to tie the match at 24.

Shawn "Mad Dog" McConnell and Billy Lyons teamed for a 5-1 to break the tie for good and give the Vikings a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Blair won the next heat, but John Marquez and Ayers were second and third, respectively, to keep the Aces' deficit at four. Wells made it four straight wins, but the Aces couldn't cut into the Vikings' lead as Hull and Zellner battled for a drawn heat. Blair and Lyons combined for a 4-2 heat win to extend the Vikings' lead to six and seal the victory. Wells won the final heat, ahead of the Vikings duo of McConnell and Hull, who kept the gap at six points and a final score of 42-36.

McConnell got the best start in the Last Chance and was leading comfortably when Lyons fell on the third lap and brought out the red flag. The referee awarded the race — and the main-event transfer — to McConnell.

In the main, Wells blasted off the line first but was challenged on the outside by Blair. Wells found enough traction exiting turn two to lead on the back straight. Blair tried to use the high banking in turn three to go around the 16-year-old leader, but Wells maintained his lead at the end of lap one. It would prove to be the closest threat that Blair could make for the lead. Wells led comfortably to the checkered flag and completed his perfect day. Blair settled for second, and Hull narrowly beat McConnell to the line for third.

The Orange County Silver Stars defeated the Perris Eagles, 26-16, in a match featuring teams comprised of second- and third-division riders.

Donnie Robinson led from start to finish for an impressive Division Two main-event victory, his first since returning to speedway late last season.

Billy J. Vaughn led all four laps to win the third-division main.

Austin Novratil was victorious in the Youth main event.
