With a victory at Auburn, California’s Fast Fridays Motorcycle Speedway, Broc Nicol brought home his first AMA Speedway National Championship, holding off former champions Max Ruml and Billy Janniro.
Entering the final main event of the three-round series, Nicol, Ruml and Janniro were separated by only one point each. Likely needing a first-place finish to claim the AMA National number-one plate, Nicol left little to chance with a clean ride to the top of the podium.
“Throughout his career, Broc Nicol has been in the mix to compete for AMA National Championships,” AMA Track Racing Manager Ken Saillant said. “It’s wonderful to see him achieve his dream and earn his first AMA number-one plate.”
In total, Nicol edged out Ruml, who was seeking his third title in four years, by just two points in the final standings to claim the title. Billy Janniro finished out the championship in third. CN
