 The Michigan Short Track Racing Club (MSTRC) Bowling Tournament continues to show why it’s the biggest bowling and bench racing extravaganza for the short track racing community in the state of Michigan and the seventh annual version of the event was no exception.
Capitol Bowl in Owosso, Michigan was the site for the 7th annual MSTRC Bowling Tournament on Saturday, February 13, 2010 as the popular tournament benefitted two family members of the racing community in the Great Lakes State; Jeremy Dickman of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan and Alan Taft of Ovid, Michigan.
109 bowlers jammed the 24-lane bowling alley in downtown Owosso, Michigan and the total raised for the two benefactors was an impressive $2,135.00!
The MSTRC Bowling Tournament Committee would like to thank all the generous sponsors who donated door prizes and everyone who took part in the 7th annual MSTRC Bowling Tournament.
 As for the award winners of the 7th annual MSTRC Bowling Tournament, Kris Hudson and Jeremy Kelley were crowned the overall winners as they combined to roll a 716 in the two games bowled to win the Team High Series Award over Erin Kline and Dixie Motor Speedway / Owosso Speedway Director of Media / Public Relations – P.A. Announcer, Matt Prieur, who finished just nine pins behind with a 707.
  For the individual award winners, the Voice of the Spartan Speedway and Auto City Speedway Co-Announcer, Ed Inloes rolled the highest game of the tournament with a 245 to win the Men’s High Game while Denny Smith won the Men’s High Series title with a 457 series.
 For the women,  Erin Kline was the most successful bowler of the entire tournament as she finished second with her partner, Matt Prieur in the Team High Series. She was the winner of the Women’s High Game Award with a 237 and she also rolled a high series of 411.
In MSTRC Bowling Tournament tradition however, no one bowler can win more than one award, so Teresa Beckner was awarded the Women’s High Series trophy with a 396 series to keep the streak alive of a Beckner winning at least one award in the Bowling Tournament at four consecutive years.
 Arlee Jenkins picked up the Greg Yost Memorial Never Give Up Award for rolling a new record low game of a 40. The award was renamed the Greg Yost Memorial Never Give Up Award in 2009 in honor of the late Greg Yost, a benefactor during the 3rd annual tournament, who passed away in August of 2006.
Dave and Eldora Howe of Beacon Sales and Service in Charlotte, Michigan  were the winners of the 2009 / 2010 Chris Throgmartin Dedication and Spirit Award for their continuous efforts and support of weekly short track racing in Michigan.
 “Team Big Mouth” took the special Traveling Team Award pitting them against "Team Gone Fishin." "Team Big Mouth" consisted of; Ed Inloes, Dave Kennedy, Matt Prieur, Shaun Whitney, and Roger Williams. Members of "Team Gone Fishin" included; Brandon Curtis, Chuck Darling, Brian Howey, Ken Shook, and Kyle Trinklein. ""Team Big Mouth won the special Five-Man Team Award as they beat "Team Gone Fishin" 1454-1260 to take home the Special Traveling “We Whipped Your A$$" Award for the fourth year in a row.
After the Bowling Tournament and Awards Ceremony, the Capitol Bowl Hot Spot was jam packed with race fans to listen to Spartan Speedway Modified veteran, Matt Schindewolf’s Classic Rock Band, “Basement Dawgs” performing live well into the evening hours to conclude a very eventful day and night of fun in Owosso, Michigan.
 The MSTRC Bowling Tournament was started in 2004 as a way for the racing community in the great auto racing state of Michigan to get together over the winter and bowl for a great cause. Today, the MSTRC Bowling Tournament is the biggest fund raiser in the State of Michigan for racing families in need.
A special thanks once again to all the donations and sponsors of the bowling tournament; Beginning with the MSTRC Bowling Tournament Committee of; Brenda and Chuck Darling, Linda and Ed Inloes, Elaine and Matt Prieur, and Verwayne Greenhoe.
In addition, special thanks goes out to Linda Inloes, Elaine Prieur, Annie Morrish, and Karen Falor for organizing the Door Prize tables as well as James and Amanda Maurer of Dick Maurer Racing and Dick’s Auto Service in Owosso, Michigan for all their hard work in putting together the Drivers Door Prizes table.
Special Thanks also to the President of the Michigan Auto Racing Fan Club, Dave DeHem for conducting the Invocation and to Basement Dawgs Lead Singer, Matt Schindewolf for singing the National Anthem. Also a big thanks to Dan and Debbie Loughan for keeping track of all the scores as the Official Bowling Tournament Scorekeepers.
Finally a huge thanks to Tom Trecha and the hard working staff of Capitol Bowl for all of their hard work in helping make the 7th annual MSTRC Bowling Tournament such a rousing success!
It was also announced that the 8th annual MSTRC Bowling Tournament date has already been secured at Capitol Bowl and is set for Valentine’s Day Weekend once again on Saturday, February 12, 2011. More details will be announced towards the end of the 2010 racing season as beneficiaries will be nominated beginning on October 15, 2010 with nominations being accepted up to November 25, 2010.
