It was finally a very nice night weather wise at the Superior Speedway Friday night. There were only four classes running with the Modifieds having the night off. The night was sponsored by Jimmy’s Saloon in Billings Park. There was also a burn out show put on during the intermission for the fans.

It was a good night for Aaron Lillo in the 24A as he won the first heat of the night jumping out front at the beginning and never looking back. Lillo was followed by Harry Hanson and Tim McMann. In the second heat Pat Doar ran away with it followed by Davin Larsen and Gregg Hill. In the feature they went flag to flag with no cautions as Hanson started on the pole and jumped out to the lead on the first lap and went on to win fighting off lap traffic for the final few laps of the race. Lillo who started on the outside of the 4th row worked his way up passing Doar and closing in on Hanson to take second place. Doar finished third followed by Gregg Hill and Tim McMann.

The Super Stocks also put on a show as they went without a caution in the feature. It was Mike Bellefeuille who started on the outside of the front row and jumped out to the lead on the first lap and lead the entire 18 laps and took the checkered flag for the first time in 2010 at the Superior Speedway. Bellefeuille was followed in the feature by Scott Lawrence, Dave Flynn, Mike Weber and Trevor Wilson. In the heat races earlier it was Joe Oliver who jumped out to the lead early in the first heat but then was passed by Tom Treviranus on lap 4 and two laps later Weber took the lead and held on to win the heat. He was followed by Treviranus and Oliver. In the second heat Flynn and Lawrence battled for the lead from the beginning with Flynn taking the early lead but it was Lawrence that made the pass on lap 5 and held on to win his first heat race of the season. He was followed by Wilson and Bellefeuille.

In the Midwest Mods it was Scott Herrick who looked like he would win his second feature in a row as he jumped out to a commanding lead but unfortunately had a flat tire on 14th lap and that gave way for Devin Van House to win his first feature of 2010. Herrick finished in fourth behind Pat Cook and Taylor Leuthner. In the heat races earlier in the night it was Leuthner winning his third heat of the season followed by Shawn Rivord and Cook. In the second heat it was Herrick winning followed by Adam Archer and Jesse Ogston. And in the final heat Van House jumped out to the lead on the first lap and never looked back he was followed by Scott Bruce and Joe Olson.

After two early re-starts in the Pure Stock feature the night belonged to Chad Carlson as he started on the pole and went on to win the 14 lap race. He was followed by Al Rapp, Rick Cornelison and Richard Dzelak. Pat VanErt from Foxboro became the first Pure Stock driver in Superior Speedway history to complete 300 feature laps in a row. After the races he now sits at 314 feature laps completed. In the Pure Stock heats it was Dzelak followed by Rapp and Tim Carlson. In the second heat Cornelison was the winner with Ashley Smith finishing second and then Chad Carlson. And in the third heat Jeff Engelmeier was the winner followed by Steve Udeen and Van Ert.
