<div>Rich Vleck, ERIE, Penn. (September 5, 2010) - Tim Kelly had not won a feature since 2003, a drought which became ever more frustrated with each near-miss. In the final full-points race of the year though, the veteran capitalized on a great opportunity and never looked back.

Kelly, from Rock Stream, NY, scored his first career ASCS Patriot Win by dominating the 25-lap, $2,010-to-win season finale at Eriez Speedway. The pilot of the V.F.L Energy Technologies No. 12 knew he had a great chance after drawing the pole for the feature, but the way he ran it is likely he would have won even if he started deeper in the field.
