2013 Ken Maely Cup - May 10 - San Bernardino, CA, USA National Champion Billy "The Bullet" Hamill added another piece of hardware to his prolific trophy case by capturing the Ken Maely Cup at Pirate Speedway in San Bernardino. Billy Hamill entered the main event undefeated in his previous four races along with former World Finalist Josh Larsen, who was also unbeaten, Tyson Burmeister, Max Ruml, and Aaron Fox. Billy Hamill was first off the line when the tapes went up and entered turn one in the lead. Burmeister, who won the previous week, led the pack trying to chase down the former world champion. Hamill led comfortably after the first lap and any thoughts that Burmeister had of consecutive main-event victories began fading fast. Hamill didn't turn a wheel wrong and led to the checkered flag. Burmeister finished second, Fox was third, Max Ruml finished fourth, and Larsen was fifth. The evening began with Fox making the best start in race one before going wide and handing the lead to "Battling" Buck Blair. Blair's hold on the lead only lasted to the end of the lap before Steve Russell went underneath him for the lead and the win. Billy Hamill began his evening with a win over Joey Holt. Larsen held off former Under 21 National Champion Austin Novratil to win event three. Burmeister finished the first round by defeating Max Ruml. The second round started with Novratil and Max Ruml giving the fans a glimpse into the future with an outstanding four-lap battle with Novratil gaining the victory. Billy Hamill defeated Blair in the next heat for his second straight win. Fox beat Faria in event 12 for his first win. Larsen ended round two with his second straight win. Ruml opened the round three by defeating Faria. Holt scored a very impressive win after using the outside to take the lead and keeping his competitors at bay. Larsen beat Russell and Fox to remain perfect. Billy Hamill matched Larsen's unblemished run by winning the final heat over Burmeister. Billy Hamill and Burmeister finished one-two in the first semi and transferred to the main. Larsen won the second semi with Ruml following him into the main event. Fox trapped from gate four and won the Last Chance race with Holt getting second, Russell finishing third, and Faria being credited with fourth.

Osborne never looked back from there and scored his second victory in three weeks. Mike Fuson was second, Summers finished third, Steve "Beach Ball" Brown was fourth, Phill Santolucito was fifth, and Ron Davis finished sixth.
