13th annual Rumble in Fort Wayne
Friday, Dec. 31, 2010 and Saturday, Jan. 1, 2011 ● Memorial Coliseum Expo Center ● Fort Wayne, Ind.
SATURDAY RESULTS
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Dave Darland outdueled teammate Jon Stanbrough to win the 60-lap midget feature that capped the final night of the 13th annual “Rumble in Fort Wayne.”
Darland, 44, of Lincoln, Ind., took the lead with five laps to go with a bold inside move in turn three on the 1/6-mile indoor track at the Memorial Coliseum Expo Center. The cars made contact, with Stanbrough spinning. Darland then held off fast qualifier David Gough by 2 1/2 car lengths for his second Fort Wayne victory and his 10th top-three finish here.
Derek Bischak, Adam Wilsdon and Jim Anderson, who won Friday's feature, completed the top five.
Ryan Smith of Walnutport, Pa., won the accompanying winged outlaw modified midget feature, leading all 40 laps. Kris Knox of Ligonier, Ind., wrapped up a special four-race indoor-outdoor championship that included the two Rumbie in Fort Wayne features and two last summer at Miami County Speedway.
