4-30-10, Williamsburg, OH - The Mt Orab Ford Modified division was the feature division of the week with $1,000 on the line to the Winner!! With 40 cars on hand the night’s festivities would begin with qualifications. Topping the charts would be 19 year-old Devin Gilpin out of Columbus, Indiana, with a 13.63 lap. Brad Weick, Weasel Rhodes and Matt Hamilton would round out the top four qualifiers with each of the top four locked into the A-Main Event.

Winning the B-main event was Chuck Griffis.

Johnson would come home 2nd with Joey Kramer, Matt Hamilton, and Dave McWilliams rounding out the top five.

In the Sunesis Construction Late Models there were 24 cars on hand with Chad Stapleton, Tim Prince, and Marty O’Neal taking the heat wins. In the feature it was fast and furious action as O’Neal had the lead but Prince and Chad Stapleton put on a great show battling with him. On lap 6 several cars bunched up and it was Barry Doss taking advantage and launching out to the top spot. The man on the move was Lawrenceburg Indiana’s Jason Jamison. On lap 9 he was in 8th spot but he steadily moved forward and would eventually take the lead from Doss on lap 21. Jamison would continue on and take the win with Doss, John Whitney, Tim Prince and Tommy Riggs rounding out the top five.

In the Holman Motors Chevette class there were 31 Chevettes on hand. Heat race wins went to Jeff Watson, Jason Hoskins, and Miles Tarvin with Paul Luers taking honors in the last chance race.
