With a POWERBOMB move off of turn four of the 23rd lap the # 44 "BKW Disaster Recovery & Rebuild, American Billett" sponsored Warrior racecar driver wrestled the lead from THE X-MAN Shawn Chastain and led the remainder of the 30-lap "A" Main feature, winning for the second time in 2010. At the start of the feature Fast Qualifier Bo Shirley had the reigns, but the Gadsden, Alabama veteran shut it down after only a handful of laps, handing the lead to Chastain.
