Rule Infraction(s):
After being penalized during the feature event for jumping the restart and failing to relinquish the advanced positions, the car and driver were penalized four positions. After the race Mr. Rhoades came to the tower and exhibited actions that were, to say the least, detrimental to the sport of auto racing. In addition, CNS officials were physically threatened.

Penalty
The Car and Driver is suspended for the July 3rd event and will not receive points or purse for the June 19th event. Mr. Rhoades is also placed on probation until 12-31-2010

Mere inches separated the top 4 Late Models during their grueling 20 lap battle for the win. "The Ice Man" Roger Avants stole the lead at the very end, locking in his first A Main win of the season.

Speedy's Autos Late Models
Points leader #42 Ronnie Hults left the track before the race started. #27 Roger Avants and #31 Rick Smith had an exciting 19 lap drag race with #12 Bruce Yackey following closely behind. A pile up along the back stretch brought on a red flag. Among the cars involved were the #22 of Chris Eggleston and the #48 of Ed Vecchiarelli Jr, both drivers were towed off the track. When the race resumed, you could throw a blanket over the top 4. Hansen, Smith, Yackey and #11 Darren Robertson raced in tight formation. Robertson backed off the battle for 3rd, paving the way for Yackey. Meanwhile, Avants won the battle for the lead over Rick Smith. At the finish it was Avants followed by Smith, Yackey and Darren Robertson
