Rattliff Rolls in Spring 30/Sweeney Slides to Arizona Sport Shirts 30 Wins at Ponderosa Speedway
Junction City, KY-April 2, 2010- It was the 8th Annual Spring 30 for the Good Neighbor Pharmacy Super Late Models at Ponderosa Speedway and Justin Rattliff of Campbellsville, KY would drive to the 30 lap, $1,500 payday. Also in action was the American Modified Series presented by Force for Earth Fuel and Randle Sweeney of Clifty, KY would win the 30 lap, $1,500 to win Arizona Sport Shirts 30 presented by Force Fuel and Engine Conditioner.

Eric Wells and Justin Rattliff would bring the 8th Annual Spring 30 for the Good Neighbor Pharmacy Super Late Models to the green flag, with Wells jumping to the race lead, trailed by Justin Rattliff, Mike Marlar, Shon Flanery, and Eddie Carrier, Jr. Wells and Rattliff would immediately go side-by-side for the race lead, with Rattliff edging past Wells for the race lead on lap 3. The first caution of the event would fly on lap 7 for a slowed Dustin Linville in turn three, who would pull pitside for the remainder of the event. Back underway, Carrier, Jr. would take fourth from Flanery, while Rattliff maintained the top spot. Flanery would take second from Wells on lap 9, with Carrier, Jr. working past Wells for third one trip later. With Rattliff beginning to pull away from the field and approaching slower traffic, Carrier, Jr. would reel in second place running Flanery and was set to make a move when the caution waved on lap 20 for debris in turn two. Rattliff would again motor away from the field on the restart, while Marlar began to challenge Wells for the fourth spot, with Marlar taking the position on lap 27. Rattliff would drive on to the win in the JRR Auto Sales/MGL Auto Sales/On Time Courier/Budda Bert Transmissions sponsored #16 Bloomquist Race Cars, Pro Power Race Engines powered machine.

In preliminary action, Eric Wells would be the top qualifier among 26 entries at 14.065 seconds and also would win the dash. Heat wins would fall to Webb and Bland, while Brandon Fouts won the B-Main.
In the American Modified Series presented by Force for Earth Fuel after two failed attempted starts, the third time would be the charm and Russ Gabbert would vault to the race lead, with Randle Sweeney, Devin Gilpin, Bryan Barber, and Don Adams giving chase. Gabbert and Sweeney would immediately begin to battle for the race lead, with Sweeney grabbing the top spot on lap 7, while Kelly Warren would take fifth one lap later on lap 8. The front five would remain the same until Adams would pull pitside on lap 15, with the caution waving two laps later for a spin in turn three involving Tommy Gregory and Randy Turpin. Matt Boknecht would make his way into the top five on the restart and take fourth, moving Barber back to fifth, with Barber reclaiming the fourth spot on lap 20. Sweeney would keep Gabbert at bay as the lead duo would catch slower traffic in the final three circuits of the event and hold on to claim the Arizona Sports Shirts 30 A-Main event and the $1,500 payday in his Haley’s Hardware/Road Block/Tommy’s Automotive/Jim Hensley Family/Sweeney Logging/The Wheel Shop/AFCO Racing Products/DBR Starters/Skillsaw Designs sponsored #182 Nullynski Chassis, SPEC Race Engines powered machine.
