In the TNT Quick Shop Late Models Vance Wilson drove his beautifully hand painted #B1 with an IMCA Spec Engine to the front of the field and the win from his fourth starting position on a tricky racetrack. The battle ensued behind him as Ben Solberg worked his way from the third row to finish 2nd driving a GRT Race Car powered by a ULMA Open Steel Engine. Defending Champion and Current points leader, Tommy Cordray gave it all he had but settled for third at the finish increasing his lead to 49 points over Jeremy Kelley.

Westling was also the GM Top Performer of the race as he earned an extra $200 courtesy of GM Performance Parts and Reliable Chevrolet.
Jesse Stovall and Shawn Nations led the field to the green flag in the Pitt's Homes A-Modifieds with Nations jumping out to the early lead and actually pulling away from Stovall utilizing the top side of the race track. Stovall continued to stalk Nations lap after lap however showing the nose of his Hoffman Race Car to Nations several times before Nations bobbled and handed the lead to Stovall. After that it was all Stovall as he crossed the AAA Start/Finish Line in first place for the seventh consecutive time in 2010. Nations ultimately settled for fourth at the finish as the handling went away on the #14. Archie, Missouri's Tim Setzer took the runner up spot behind Stovall while Lebanon, Missouri's Jamie Ragland charged all the way from his 17th starting spot to finish in third. Youngster Colson Kirk out of Urbana, Missouri had quite possibly his best run of the season as he scored a Top-5 finish behind Nations after starting in seventh.
The Carson's Corner Napa Factory Stocks got off to a rough start on the evening as Ken Hicks and Sundance Keepper both rolled their machines on the third lap of Heat Race #1 ending their nights and eliminating two top contenders for the evening. Both drivers were OK after the incident but their machines suffered heavy damage. Another car involved in this accident that had ramifications for later in the evening was Neosho, Missouri's Chris Hawkins.
