The Top Gun Sprints made their first visit of 2010 to Volusia Speedway Park on Saturday April 24, 2010. There were 22 cars at the track to give fans three heat races and a 25 lap feature race.

Harley Zimmerman in the 21Z car had the pole for the start of the first heat race. Matt took the lead on the start and led for 2 laps till his motor blew that put Amanda Ferguson in the 21A in the lead until 2 laps later she stopped on the front stretch with drive line broke. That put Ryan Partin in the 14 on the point and he took the win.

The 22 of Shawn Murray had the pole for the start of the second heat race with Gene Lasker in the 02 car on the outside. It was the 02 that made the better start and took the race lead and led from start to finish taking the heat win.

Tim George in the 1 car had the pole for the start of the third and final heat race, but it was Tommy Denton in the X coming from last to the lead and took the heat win.

The 02 of Gene Lasker had the pole for the start of the feature race event, with the 24 of Danny Martin alongside. After a parade lap, the race went to green and it was Gene Lasker in the 02 car that took the lead.

The first caution of the night came on lap 5 when the 8 car driven by Rich Alexander spun and stopped and the 30 of John Crowder slid into him in they were both took to infield, also Gene Lasker spun on the top to avoid crash was restarted and had to go to the rear. The race got back to green with Tommy Denton in the X in the lead, but only one lap later, the 83A of Christine Auld was re-fired, the race got back underway.

On the restart Tommy Denton led for 6 laps until the 24 of Danny Martin went around on the outside and never looked backed and took the checkered flag, followed by Tommy Denton in the X car was DQ in Tech, Ryan Partin in the 14 car, Gene Lasker in the 02 was DQ for not going to Tech and Shane Kreidler in the 52 car rounding out the top 5.

The staff and racers of the Top Gun Sprints would like to thank everyone for their support and hope to see you next race at East Bay Raceway on May 8th.
