The 2010 Thursday Night Lights campaign ended not with a bang, but with a shower. Rain washed out the final night of racing just before the first starting gun was fired. The evening ended on a bit of a high note, however. All of the podium finishers from Masters Nationals were on hand in their stars and stripes jerseys and podium medals and received a standing ovation from the near-capacity crowd.

 

Here are the final standings for the 2010 Track Rider of the Year competition. Thanks to Dan Schueller for managing the competition throughout the season.
