Top 3 at Dixie Speedway, Snyder takes points lead07/02/2010
The Vertech Motorsports team traveled to Dixie Speedway to try to take over the overall points lead with the Auto Value Super Sprints, and try to grab their first feature win of the season. The night started well when Snyder qualified Third to fast qualifier Jason Blonde and Second place Ryan Litt. In the heat race Snyder came from 6th position to finish a strong Third. In the feature Snyder started on the outside of the Third row and worked his way up to Third place. Snyder had Third secured until a late yellow allowed Jeff Bloom to take over the position with one lap to go. Jason Blonde who finished 2nd was Disqualified after not making post race inspection, so Snyder was awarded with a Third place finish anyway. This was enough to give Snyder the outright points lead for AVSS. Unfortunately the motor broke a valve on the last lap so Snyder will not be able to make it to Owosso and defend his points lead.

Dissapointment at Auto City06/26/2010
The Vertech Motorsports team made the haul to Auto City Speedway to test their luck once again. After a couple year break from the track, it took some time for Snyder to get back up to speed. Snyder surprised everybody when he qualified 2nd with a 12.975 only one hundredth less than fast qualifier Ryan Litt. In the heat race Snyder started 6th and after a wild start, he suffered a driveline failure, taking him out for the night. The team will work at getting the car fixed in time for Dixie Speedway where he looks to defend his points lead.

Snyder shatters track record at Toledo Speedway06/12/2010
The Vertech Motorsports team traveled to the lightning fast 1/2 mile of Toledo Speedway Friday to test their luck again. In hot laps the car was hooked up and looked like it would be good later on in the night. Snyder found out just how good the car was when he shattered the track record of 12.74 with a blazing fast 12.656 an average of 142.225 MPH. This was the fastest lap ever recorded at toledo speedway in any type of race car. Snyder started 6th in his heat race and finished 3rd, avoiding a wreck on lap 2. The feature was stacked with some of the best drivers around, and Snyder started on the outside of the Third row. Snyder worked his way up into the top 5 and was pursuing Jason Blonde and Ryan Litt. Snyder kept digging and was sitting 3rd when something in the driveline failed with 5 laps to go. Another disappointing end to a promising evening.
