of the best drivers in the nation.
In the victory lane interview when Kinder was asked what are you think about
right now after pulling it out against some tough competition. He said "When you get lucky enough and that's what it is you
have to have a lot of luck. Everything has to go kinda of right because everybody is good here it's not just one." "Anybody
could have won." While the race may have been over everyone was still wanting to know if Chad was going to take the
Harley or the money. When the question was asked Chad are you going to take the Harley or the $10,000 Kinder laughed
as he said "I'm taking the Harley man!" When Chad was asked what it was like winning a Harley Davison Motorcycle he
said "We have won a few Big Shows in our day, but nothing compares to that." pointing toward the Harley. He went on to say
"That's the only reason we are here, because of that Harley. This is what we came for. This is great"
The American Heritage Classic week end kicked off Friday when Wellsburg, West
Virginia's Corey Conley picked up the feature win. He used a slide job on Milford Ohio's Dustin Webber out of turn four coming
to the white flag lap to take the lead. Once in front a three way battle for second at Conley's rear bumper raged. Coming
through turn four on the final lap Webber tried a slid job on Aaron Morey and Richard Michael Jr. but slid up the track allowing
Chad Kinder and Doug Adkins to get by while Morey and Michael chased Conley across the line.
In other Friday night action it was Peebles Ohio's Dave Jamison picking up
the legend feature win and Bainbridge, Ohio's Rex Smith Jr. taking home another crazy compact feature win.
Weasel Rhoades and Jason Montgomery brought Saturday's American Heritage Classic
main event to the green. Montgomery jumped out to the early lead with Rhoades Chad Kinder and Jared Landers in tow. Montgomery
paced the field until the action was slowed with a lap seven caution when a car looped around in turn three collecting Doug
Adkins.
On the restart, Montgomery maintained the advantage over Kinder who had slid
by Rhoades. Kinder chased front running Montgomery until he made the move under Montgomery's X machine at the flag stand on
lap eleven to claim the lead. Once out front Kinder began to stretch his lead as Montgomery had his hands full with Weasel
Rhoades. Rhoades and Montgomery battled side by side until Rhoades developed a mechanical problem on lap thirty that forced
him pit side. The action was slowed with a lap thirty-seven caution when Jerry Bowersock rolled to a stop in turn one with
a flat tire.
The Delaware double file restart saw Kinder out front by himself while the
field was lined up double file behind him. At the drop of the green Montgomery began to challenge front running Kinder. Kinder
and Montgomery ran side by side before Montgomery reclaimed the lead down the back stretch on lap forty-two. The lead was
short lived for Montgomery. Running the high side out of four he scraped the wall down the front stretch and took his X machine
pit side off turn one with a flat tire ending his night. Kinder was the new leader. Kinder began to stretch his lead as Jared
Landers and Rick Aukland engaged in a fierce battle for second. When Aukland finally got around Landers he began to close
up some ground on front running Kinder, but when the checkered flag waved it was Kinder claiming the 2010 American Heritage
Classic title. Following Kinder across the line were Rick Aukland, Jared Landers, Kevin Morehouse, and Corey Conley rounding
out the top five.
In other Saturday night action it was Minford, Ohio's Audie Swartz taking
