 Ovid, Michigan (Saturday, June 26, 2010): The first Feature of the night was for the Drive Train Specialists Modifieds as Current Rookie of the Year Points Leader, 16-year-old Kyle Feeney and Greg Fullerton brought the field down to Chief Starter Jeremy Sladen’s green flag and it would be Fullerton beating Feeney to the first corner to grab the early lead in the 30-lap Feature.
Fullerton set a nice early pace while the rest of the field sorted themselves out. Adam Hudson, a former competitor in the CRA Sportsmen Series from near-by Elsie, Michigan, who was ironically making his first ever appearance at the Owosso Speedway and making his Modifieds debut, reeled in Fullerton and took the lead for himself on lap 15.
Hudson tried to pull away from the rest of the field but Seven-Time Defending and 11-Time Overall Track Champion Bill Luckhurst had other ideas as he had worked his way up to second from his eight starting spot and followed Hudson by Fullerton. With Hudson running up high, Luckhurst went to the bottom groove and on lap 18 took the lead away.
Two-Time and Defending Track Champion at Owosso’s sister track to the Northeast, Dixie Motor Speedway, Nick Clemens, who was making a rare appearance at the Big “O” also got by Hudson and tried in vain to reel in Luckhurst and did manage to get to his back bumper.
But Luckhurst was up to the task as the Ovid, Michigan veteran in his Jet’s Pizza of Owosso Chevrolet would take control of the remainder of the race and would score his Second Feature Win of the 2010 Racing Season and take over the Points Lead in the process!
Clemens finished second while Hudson, Steve Bates Jr., and Fullerton completed the Top Five. Mark Abee grabbed sixth ahead of Feeney while 14-year-old Alex Donnert, his Father Laci Donnert, and 16-year-old Megan Carpenter finished off the Top 10.
Earlier in the afternoon in Qualifying, Luckhurst won his first Fast Qualifier Award of the season with a lap measured at a 16.395 around the 3/8s (0.375) mile high-banked paved oval while Clemens won the Dash and Fullerton scored the Heat Race Win.
