Floyd gets the advantage again, Manley falls into 2nd, but here comes Tipton, he wants to challenge for the 2nd spot, as Hensley is hanging on so far, but now he’ll finally get taken out down the frontstretch by Tim Damron, heavy damage on the right side of the Hensley machine after being turned into an infield tire in turn 1, and we’ll be under caution here on lap 4. Despite the damage, Hensley will continue, but he’ll fall to the rear in front of Damron, by rule.

Now David Singleton challenges for the 2nd spot, as Billy Sands spins in turn 2, but we’ll stay green as he keeps going. Mitchell the leader, David Singleton in 2nd, King in 3rd. Townsend in 4th. David Singleton now challenging for the lead here on lap 5, he looks inside, but he’ll fall back in line. Mitchell the leader, King still in 3rd. Townsend hanging onto 4th. Fast forward to lap 13, Dalton King slows off turn 4, apparently the engine or something has failed in his machine! What a turn of events! King in the infield off turn 2! Checkered flag in the air, Mitchell claims the win, David Singleton takes home 2nd, 3rd goes to Alex Squires, and 4th goes to Mike Townsend! King gets credited with a 9th place finish, so that’s only 5 spots, so the 2010 points standings will be TIED, with the official tie-breaker nod going to Dalton King!
