The 2010 season kicked off at Baton Rouge Raceway with a full field of 20 cars from across the south to open the Cajun Sprinters season.
Heat I started off caution free with #9 Lane Whittington jumping out in front to take the lead and the win with #09 Timmy Thrash and #36 Chris Thornton following.
Heat II had #32 Hunter Phillips leading most of the laps in this exciting heat full of some of the fastest cars hot on his trail, but the young driver held on for 6 laps until the #01 of Shane Morgan came around for the win, with the #32 Hunter Phillips and #02 Brandon Olsen rounding out the top three.
Heat III looked like a feature line up, but when the green flag fell it was the #68 Terry Vidrine who led every lap to take the win with #7 Michael Herrington and #14 Chris Hoyt finishing the top three.
Heat IV got off to a great start with another caution free race with #49 Ty Johnson taking the lead and keeping it to take the win followed by #31 Willie Stauffer and #17 Adam Moneyhun ending the heats.
By the time the feature race line-up had begun, the top eight in points had to draw for starting position putting the #31 Willie Stauffer on pole. As the green flag dropped, the first caution was called when the #9 Lane Whittington got sideways collecting the #32m Moe Douroux, cutting his night short and sending the #06 Jason Breeland to the rear. As the race restarted on lap four, the red was thrown when the #36 of Chris Thornton, who took a hard hit, flipped into the wall demolishing his new car, but he escaped just a little shakin’ up. Then on lap six, caution was called for the #31 of Willie Stauffer, ending his night as well.
After the track was cleared and the green flag flew once again it was wheel to wheel action with several lead changes then the battle was on for the #01 Shane Morgan and the #9 Lane Whittington swapping spots all the way to the checkered flag with the #9 Lane Whittington taking the first win of the 2010 season followed by #01 Shane Morgan, #68 Terry Vidrine, #02 Brandon Olsen and #14 Chris Hoyt for your top 5 finishing order.
The Cajun Sprinters would like to take Donald Watson and his staff for the wonderful and super fast track they provided for us. We can not wait to return.
