March 16 (Saturday)
The Smiley's Racing Products ASCS Lone Star Region Sprints rolled into Kennedale Speedway Park Saturday night. KSP's new promoter Kevin Ramey, the 2009 Smiley's Racing Products Lone Star Region champion, had made several improvements to the 1/4-mile, clay, oval track. It was the first time in several years that the ASCS Sprints had been to KSP.
In the ASCS Sprints feature, Koby Barksdale, No. 22, started from the pole position and quickly jumped out to a good lead. Six laps into the 25-lap feature, Koby seemed to have the race well in hand, until he ran into some lap traffic and flipped entering turn 1. That opened the door for Seth Bergman, No. 23, to take the lead and he went on to take the feature win. Kevin Ramey, No. 7m, was second, Matt Covington, No.95, the defending LSR champion, was third, Justin Melton, No. 11, was fourth and Brad Welborn, No. 17w, was fifth. There were a total of 37 Sprints.
