We had to work for that one, a relieved Brady Smith said in OReilly All Start Late Model Series (ASLMS) victory lane. We drew the pole and its always nice to start there but it doesnt mean anything at a place like this where you can start in the back and make your way to the front. I seen Chub (Frank) a few times and I knew he was a little different on tires than we were. I actually had to slow down a little bit to maintain the lead. The Prodigy fooled everyone in the scoring tower if he slowed down a little as he held off serious challenges from ChubZilla Chub Frank and The Truth Gregg Satterlee.

Smith and rising western PA star Denton Boyer led the talented field to the green flag with Brady jumping out to the early lead but a quick caution for Jeremy Miller and Bump Hedman set the field up for a complete restart. It was again Smith claiming the lead with Jason Covert sliding underneath Jordan Bland for the second spot from his fifth starting position. Covert pressured Brady for the lead as Smith ran the outside and Covert rode the bottom of the high banked 4/10 Sarver, PA oval. ASLMS regular Coleby Frye spun in turn two to bring out the events second caution and set up a Delaware Style restart that Smith would lead out of turn four.

When racing resumed, one of the hottest drivers in the country, Chub Frank got by Covert for the second position and set his sights on race leader Smith. A few circuits later Satterlee made his way past Covert and into the third spot as the third and final caution flew for the freshly crowned 2009 Lernerville Speedway Champion Alex Ferree as his mount came to a halt in turn 4.

Brady continued to lead the field as ASLMS point leader Boom Briggs, who had to use a B-Main to secure his spot in the 50-lap A-Main was working his way through the field while his counterpart, Robbie Blair (second in ASLMS points) ran solidly in the top five throughout the event. The laps ticked down and the leaders ran into heavy lapped traffic. Smith finessed his way through traffic while Satterlee turned up the wick under his Satterlee Petroleum sponsored Rocket Chassis. Gregg made his move under Chub for the third spot with nine laps remaining and quickly made a move to get by Brady with eight laps remaining.

Satterlee was never technically scored the leader though as his pass was made out of turn two and Smith returned the favor out of turn four. Brady was able to work his way through the lapped cars of Rod Conley and Jared Miley, who were also racing for position, while Satterlee and Frank got caught behind the lapped duo giving way to Smith as he went on to win his first ASLMS event in his Big Red Motorsports, Mid-America Equipment Inc Hydraulics, Willow River Saloon sponsored Bloomquist Chassis. Brady was followed by Frank who made a last lap pass on Gregg to finish second.

Robbie Blair chipped into Booms point lead with his fourth place finish while Senoia, GAs Clint Smith came home fifth. Doug Horton was sixth, Keith Berner seventh, eighth was Tim McCreadie while Jason Covert slipped back to ninth and Boom Briggs rounded out the top ten
