LOVES PARK, Ill. (Saturday, June 19th, 2010) – After another tough break last weekend, Kyle Shear was left asking questions and wondering when the streak of bad luck that has plagued him throughout 2010 would end. The Roscoe driver had all the answers tonight after a stirring Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models feature victory left an excited Rockford Speedway crowd on its feet. Shear had to fend off a fierce effort from a fast Ryan Carlson to take the checkers ahead of a 22 car field. A tough as nails Doug Bennett survived an early heat race incident, navigating without a passenger side door en route to victory in the Bargain Hunter Sportsman main event, extending his points lead in the process. Robert Roush and Doug Orseske prevailed in the evening’s other feature action.
