Hermantown's Darrell Nelson won a hard fought flag to flag 30 lap Modified main event Sunday night at the Proctor Speedway. It was theopening salvo for the 2010 Como Oil & Propane Modified Series and drew 50 WISSOTA AMSOIL Dirt Track Series Modifieds. They were greetedwith as perfect a dirt track as is possible as there was plenty of traction and multiple racing grooves.

Perhaps the most important preliminary event was the Pole Dash that pitted the top two finishers in each of the five ten car heat races in an eightlap race to determine the first five rows for the feature. When the dash was done a pair of familiar faces graced the front row with Kelly Estey on thepole and Darrell Nelson to his outside. Lurking behind this pair were the likes of Craig Thatcher, Ryan Aho, Jeff Spacek and a very fast Gavin Paull.Buried deep in the field was Joey Jensen starting seventeenth and Keith Tourville in twenty-third.
