POMONA, Calif. (October 13, 2012) -

This just in; the state of California knows how to put on a solid race. For the third and final time this season, AMA Pro Flat Track was back in the golden state in front of an ecstatic crowd. Kenny Coolbeth Jr. (Screaming Eagle Harley-Davidson) got the win in what proved to be a phenomenal grand finale to conclude the 2012 season. When the lights turned on Saturday night at the LA County Fairplex, engines roared throughout the confines of the stadium and the euphoric fans hung on every lap. Though Coolbeth Jr. put on a show to claim his second victory of the year, the real story of the night was Jared Mees (Rogers Racing/ Harley-Davidson) as he took home the coveted AMA Pro Harley-Davidson Insurance Grand National Championship presented by Motorcycle-Superstore.com and Lucas Oil No. 1 plate.

"The feeling hasn't really sunk in yet," said Mees. "So much hard work and dedication has gone in to this season and it all paid off. I kind of knew where I was at the whole way and was able to bring it home. I really have to thank my team and sponsors for all of their support this year; this was a great team effort."

Though Mees finished eighth, his effort was more than enough as his only competitors for the title, Sammy Halbert (Southeast Harley/ Harley-Davidson) and defending Grand National Champion Jake Johnson (Zanotti Racing/ Harley-Davidson) looked sluggish the whole way.

Endurance Races have always been a rider’s race. We come together and test ourselves against our machines, the track, and each other. It’s more of a community than a competition. That’s why we decided last year that the final race of the season would be dedicated to a fellow racer who has passed.

This year, the Four Hour Endurance Series at OVRP would like to take a day to remember a great friend of the sport, Pete Giammalvo. Pete was known to many for his participation in all forms flat-track racing, and from his work to promote the sport in Sideways Promotions.

Pete lives on in the racers that he influenced and through the success of the sport he helped promote.
