Sunny South Raceway opened its 2010 racing season on 3.6.10. Connelly drew the outsided pole starting position and proceeded to lead every lap in his heat race. A field of 5 cars were registered. Cars #4, 32, 55, 18 took the green flag, with # 11 not starting. Connelly in his red #32 got the start and led the first lap. The #4 spun while in close pursuit falling back to 4th. After a spin by #55, the #4 ran up to Connelly's back bumper in turn 4 coming to the checkered flag and spun again with Connelly getting the heat win.
In the feature, Connelly's heat race win gave him pole starting position with #18 outside pole and #55 starting 3rd. The #4 did not start as he sustained a bent rear axle in his off track spin in turn 4 of the heat. Connelly led every lap and got his very first win in only his sixth race ever. The race was very closely contested with #18 closing to within 2 car lengths before Connelly pulled away for a 5 car length victory. ( a classic case of mirror driving)
