A clean sweep was in store for fans at the Minneapolis Raceway as Delbert "The Iceman" Smith prevailed in not only the first ever King of the Hill event for the Midwest DIRTcar Late Model Series, but also the 30 lap Main Event.

Smith finished 4th in his heat race, giving him the second opportunity to pick a redraw position. He drew #2 to start outside of Cale Gottschalk, who drew #1. On lap 1 Smith rocketed off the front row to take a quick lead on the opening lap. Cale Gottschalk and Dave Conkwright made contact on lap 1 with Conkwright going to the back as the result of a caution.

For the first time in Minneapolis Raceway and Midwest DIRTcar Late Model Series history a king shall be crowned in the Late Model division. The special event will take place Saturday night August 7 featuring head to head competition of the Late Models, something that has never been done before.

The King of the Hill competition is a head to head bracket style event, similar to bracket competitions in drag racing. The fastest lap time each driver turns in their heat race will be used to position them in the brackets, with the fastest qualifier against the slowest qualifier in round 1. The bracket will continue until one car is left, making them the King of the Hill.

The Midwest DIRTcar Late Model Series will make their inaugural appearance at the Hutchinson Raceway Park in Hutchinson, Kansas on Saturday August 14.

The event, being promoted by MD Promotions, will be race #8 on the 2010 tour and will mark the first appearance by Late Models at the 3/8 mile oval in 3 years.
