Delong Motorsports finish's season 6th and 10th in points...
Going into Saturday, Nate had the 6th spot already locked while brother Eric was in 11th, just a mere 6 points out of 10th. Nate would go on to win his heat and brother Eric who also raced in the same heat would finish right behind him in 2nd. This would set the feature line-up with Eric starting 2nd and Nate starting 7th.
When the dust finally settled on the 25 lap feature event, Eric would come across in the 4th spot while Nate battle to the 6th spot, giving Eric enough points to take over the 10th spot in the standings in just his 1st full year of racing.
"It's one thing when you finish top 10 in points but when you have 2 cars and both of them finish in the top 10, then you really feel good about the year", Eric stated after Saturdays race.
Now that the points races have ended, the team has decided not to race any other shows this year and will begin work on the cars in prepartion for the 2011 season. Starting next year, for the 1st time since 2006, you wont see the 1n machine in the Crate Sportsman class as Nate will pilot his machine in the 358 division, while brother Eric will continue to look for his first win of his career as he will remain with in the Crate division.
Delong Motorsports would like to thank all of their 2010 sponsors who made this year possible:
Grovers Port-A-Toilet
Toms Tree Service
Troups Creek Auto Parts Corp.
The Carpenter Shop
Citizens&Northern Bank
Jenigans Auto Body
Watson Extreme Karting
MandiLand Inc
The team would also like to thank Jim Nolton for pit help and hauling the cars when needed.
