Pontoon Beach, IL (October 9th, 2010) Tri-City Speedway hosted their big $1,000 to win Factory Stock (4 Cylinder) event and thirty-four cars entered to try and take home the money. Brennan Bechen of Bernard, Iowa made the trek to Tri-City Speedway and left with the money and the big trophy. 2010 UMP DIRTcar Sport Compact National Champion Rob Shaw of Highland, Illinois took the lead at the drop of the green flag and led the first eleven laps of the main event before Bechen finally got past for the lead. Shaw held off challenges on the low side and high side from Bechen every single lap until Bechen finally made a pass stick on lap twelve for the lead. Shaw would challenge Bechen a couple of times in the next lap but Bechen would soon pull away. Meanwhile Shaw had his hands full battling for the second spot with another Iowa driver, Joe Zorstlik of Long Grove, Iowa. Zorstlik would get the pass done and take over second with just two laps remaining in the twenty lap main event. Shaw would settle for third with Justin Suhre taking fourth. Jeremy Kingsley charged from the sixteenth starting spot to round out the top five.
