**ANOTHER WIN**
Mark Gimmler Takes CFSS Win At
Charlotte County Motorsports Park

Mark Gimmler Starts 2010 CFSS Season On Good Note
By Curtis Whalin

The Checkered Flag Sprint Series (CFSS) kicked off its third year and the start of the 2010 season at Charlotte
County Motorsports Park on Saturday February 20.

The pill pull system was used to set the line ups for the two heat races. Robbie Hackett in the 21A car had the pole
for the start of the ROD END SUPPLY first heat race.19 of Keith Butler took the lead on lap one and held onto the lead
and took the first heat race win of the season. The pole position for the start of the SALDANA second heat went to
Michael Tharp in the J1. Mark Gimmler in 51 took the initial race lead went on to win the heat.

Pills were again pulled to determine the BROWN & MILLER feature race line up, Mark Gimmler in the 51 had the pole
and Gary Gimmler in the 29 was on the outside. As the green flag dropped it was Mark Gimmler who made the best
start and took the early race lead, leaving his brother Gary behind him .

It looked like it was going to be a caution free race until contact between the 21 of Jimmy Alvis and the 19 of Keith
Butler sent Keith sliding up into turn 3 wall brought out the first of two cautions. Keith Butler in the 19 car was able
to restart and rejoin the race.

The race went back to green with Mark Gimmler in the lead, but only one lap later the second caution flag came out
when Michael Tharpe in the J1 car hit the tires at back gate which sent him into the wall of turn 3 and took out front
axle and wheels. On the finish Mark Gimmler was the winner with his brother Gary Gimmler with 2nd, Mickey
Kempgens with 3rd, Keith Butler with 4th, and Amanda Ferguson with 5th.

The staff and racers of the CFSS would like to thank everyone for their support and hope to see you all at the next
race. March 13, 2010 Checkered Flag Sprint Series
