feature race by points, Wood took advantage of his front row start and would
pull away early in the fifteen car field with Wapello’s Kirk Kinsley
following. With three laps to go the yellow flag would come out to close the
field on the restart and giving Kinsley a shot at the lead. But Wood proved
why he is in the chase for the IMCA Stock Car Rookie of the Year title again
pulling away at the end for the win. Through Sept. 1, Wood is tied for
second with Kenneth Hansen, both with 1070 points, just six points behind
Matt Speckman with 1076. Bill Whalen,, Riverside and

on the back stretch. On the final lap Theobald would pull ahead to edge out
Whalen for the win. Darrin Smith followed to finish a close third. Two wins by Pleasant Hill’s
Justin Buchholz, the second on season championship night, helped the
Pleasant Hill, Il. Driver to a Mod Lite points championship. Buchholz took
the early lead in the sixteen car field and would never be seriously
challenged as he and Rob Guss would pull away from the field. Buchholz had
comfortable lead would take the take checkered flag for the win. Jason Hartman, Muscatine,
won his second hobby stock feature holding off Alex Buffington, Wapello for
the win. Hartman led from start to finish for the win, but it would be Lane
Kauffman, Muscatine, who with his three wins, would take the track
championship for 2010. Ben Wagoner took both the
dash and Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invader feature at CJ Speedway in Columbus
Junction Friday night, Sept. 3 to cap off the track’s season.

lap feature and took home his 2nd win of the 2010 season leading from start
to finish. Matt Sutton finished 2nd after starting 11th to take the hard
charger award. Wagoner and Hall originally
were to start in the second row behind Bobby Mincer and Russ Hall, but
Mincer would have car problem, unable to make the show and Hall would slow
