The roar of engines fills the air as the Hilbert Brothers, Steve and Tom, lead the charge to the green flag for Round 10 at North Wilkesboro Speedway! The tension is palpable as the racers jostle for position, hungry for victory. Steve Hilbert blasts off the line, but his brother Tom finds himself under attack from the relentless Jason Menda, who dives low in turns 1 and 2, forcing Tom high and seizing second place in a daring move!
Meanwhile, Todd Liston isn’t content to sit back; he’s locked in a fierce battle with Tom, eager to snatch third place from the Hilbert siblings. But Menda isn’t satisfied with second – he sets his sights on the lead, making his move on Lap 2 to rocket past Steve and into the top spot! Liston, riding Menda’s coattails, charges into second place, leaving the Hilbert brothers in his wake.
