"Finally after three years in the Series I earned my first win," said Sierra Lendle after the race. "I've been close to winning several times and to get the win today is just fantastic. I felt great behind the wheel and the car handled very well all afternoon. I knew I'd built up a slight lead, so I tried to stay calm and run a smart race. Fortunately, I did just that and I finally found my way into Victory Lane. My family was able to come from Mexico to watch the race this weekend, and I can't think of a better present to give my mother on Mother's Day."

Following Sierra Lendle were two rookies, Arie Ouimet and Chris Wehrheim, who finished second and third respectively. Ouimet is the 2010 Volkswagen Karting Scholarship winner, which he earned by defeating 32 other karting candidates for an opportunity to attend the Volkswagen driver selection event in Las Vegas. Along with a chance to drive in the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup, Ouimet also received a $45,000 scholarship to help fund his efforts during the 2010 season.
