Dean Martin, in his RehagenRacingProducts.com sponsored Ford Mustang, came out of nowhere (he didn’t podium in either qualifying races) and fought his way to the front. When the double checkered flags few Dean Martin became the 2010 NASA American Iron National Champion. Second place went to David Royce and third place went to Ross Murray, both in Ford Mustangs making AI a pony car sweep.
