N
orthern Californians picked
up popular wins for the local
crowd as the Kenda/SRT AMA

Vaughn Wilk and Joey Fiasco-
naro going 1-2 on home turf at

the fourth different winner this
season while early leader Fias-

picture, Cory Graffunder slightly
stretched his series points lead
by claiming third overall.
"I just got my first Pro win of
any kind at the [AMA] District
36 race two weeks ago," Wilk
said. "I almost won this race last
year and I kind of threw it away
on the last lap so I felt really
motivated today.
"It's awesome! I never
thought it would happen."
