of Pierre, in the Creative Cuts/Truck n Carwash Box Shootout  final.  Humann covered the field, from the number one qualifying slot, all the way to the final. 

Creative Cuts/Truck n Carwash  No Box Shootout saw  Stan "Butch" Monson, of Groton, and Randy Hirsch, of Pierre, square off in a classic Ford vs. Chevy battle.  Hirsch handed the win to Monson, at the starting line, fouling away his chance at the big check.  Travis Falcon, of Pierre, number one qualifier, lost to Ann Hirsch, of Pierre, in the second round.  Monson, running an immaculate '69 Mustang, sent Ann Hirsch to the trailer, in the quarterfinals.   

Mike Haraldson, of Pierre, topped a 22-car Trophy Shootout field, defeating Jon Dallman, of Aberdeen, in the final.  Brian Brady, of Pierre, met up with number one qualifier, Doug Percy, of Winner, in round one.  Brady used a better reaction time to turn back Percy.  Dallman showed Brady a better reaction time in round two, taking the win.

Nostalgia Pro One paired Jon Kostelecky , of Dickinson, ND , and Ray Fuchs, of Bowman, ND, in a best of three match.  Kostelecky won all three rounds, to take the title.  Fuchs claimed the "Best Burnout" award, with his smoky, loud 1/8th mile warmup.

Ron Winterberg, of Timber Lake, won the Half Track No Box class, over Jesse Schoon, of Surrey, ND. 

In other special awards, Alan Black, of Omaha, took home the "Longest Tow" award, and Brad Harms, of Viborg, snared the "Best Appearing" award for his brightly painted '66 Plymouth Belvidere Wagon. Harms' "Whackee Wagon" is widely recognized in the upper Midwest, as a top runner and immaculately prepared race car. 

Joe Wolf, of Pierre, qualified number one and took  Coca Cola Super Pro Points Race #8,  by virtue of starting line performance.   Wolf qualified with a superb .005 reaction time, pulled off a respectable .030 light in round one, and then got serious in round two and the final.  Lightning quick .003's in those rounds, sent Ken Standiford, of Midland,  and Dale Garber, of Pierre,  to the trailer.

Coca Cola Pro final action  came down to Paul Berger, of Pierre, and Bill Bogner, of Belled Fourche, with Berger taking the win.  In the double break out final, Berger hit the finish line closer to his dial in.  Stan "Butch" Monson,  of Groton, defending Pro Class Champion, qualifying number one, lost in round one.   

Chris Boom, of Pierre, returned to the Coca Cola Dakota Motor Sports LLC Bike winners circle on Sunday. The past class Champion, defeated Charles Snyder, of Belle Fourche, in the final.  Snyder, in his loss, has virtually locked up the 2010 Bike Class Championship.

Karen England, of Pierre will stay atop the Street Trophy season points count with her win over Ron Winterberg, of Timber lake.  Winterberg, 2009 Street Trophy Champion, qualified number one. 

Snap On High School winner, Stephanie Holm, of Pierre, continued the trend of the day, "qualify number one, and win it all".  With a bit of help from Matt Bogner's red light , in the final, Holm became the 5th number one qualifier of the day to take the top spot in their respective class. 

James Morris, of Pierre, once again, qualified number one, and carried that momentum all the way to the BankWest Junior Major title.  Morris took the win, when Carly Ellingson, of Rapid City, broke out at the finish line.

competition, defeating Noah Miller, of Fort Pierre.  Huse got around number one qualifier, Kimberlee Geuther, of Fort Pierre, in the semis.
