TAZEWELL, Tenn. (October 2) - The Supers hit the clay at Tazewell Speedway with Jason Trammell leading the way. Steve Smith got the jump on Trammell and left Rick Rogers and Trammell to battle for second. On lap 11, Rogers fell off the pace moving Chad Ogle into third but more importantly moving Trammell to the rear of Smith's Rayburn. After changing a flat Rogers rejoined. On the restart Trammell gave a couple of car lengths away but got them back as the caution flag flew for a Jeff Neubert spin in turn two. Trammell slipped on lap 21 and gave a cushion that Smith used to take the win. With the win Smith ended a three-year drought. He celebrated a long overdue win in victory lane with his trusty Rayburn car and thanked the fans.

2010 TLM Champion Travis Fultz led the Tazewell Late Models to the green with Trammell sharing row one. Turn one was unkind to Fultz as he went high into the outside wall. Behind him several cars also had trouble with turn one and the pile up that followed forced a complete restart. This time Fultz got the lead but Trammell looked to be down in the clay some better than Fultz and the race was on. The leader got a scare on lap 9 when a lap car drifted in his line but by lap 13 Fultz had found a line that let him open up his lead. Phillip Nichols closed up on Trammell but by lap 17, simply could not pass. A caution flag was waved on lap 21 and that closed up the field to Travis Fultz for an exciting restart. Fultz took the excitement out by speeding away from Trammell for another win. It was his ninth win of 2010. In victory lane he dedicated the win to his father, Ronald.
