TAMPA, FL (March 4, 2010)—After frigid temperatures and wet weather cancelled Wednesday’s (March 3rd) action, Travis Varnadore of Dover, FL would prevail in his first-career National All-Star Racing Association victory at the East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL on Thursday Night March 4, 2010 while picking up $3,000 for the series win.
Varnadore crossed the line ahead of Bryan Bernhardt of Clearwater, FL for the victory. Rounding out the top-five were Aaron Ridley, Steve Shaver and Phillip Cobb.
Heat winners Aaron Ridley and Travis Varnadore would bring the field down to the green flag for the start of the 25-lapper.

The second yellow flag would wave for Bill Bray yet again on the 21st circuit as he would spin with just four laps remaining. Varnadore would lead new second place runner Bryan Bernhardt to the stripe for the four lap shootout with Varnadore holding on for the flag-to-flag victory.
