Andy Hope, driving the Opak Racing/Spoon Sports Acura RSX-R, won the Infineon Round of the Nitto Tires United States Touring Car Championship. Hope, who is one of the Editors for Sport Compact Car magazine, was never at the front except for the one lap that counted, the last one. Curt Simmons finished in second place in the Sunnyvale Dodge SRT-4. Simmons started on the pole and led every lap except for the last one. Dave Bongiovanni managed to drive a great race and brought the Goodsport Racing Mitsubishi Evo in third place.

Round three of the 2010 Nitto Tires United States Touring Car Championship at Thunderhill Raceway is a unique 2 hour race format where fuel economy and strategy as well as speed play a vital role. Ken Dobson's FLI Tuning Mazdaspeed 3 takes the early lead while the MBO Racing Honda Civic of Simmons/Bovenberg tries to catch up. Pit stops change the game though as poor fuel economy forces Dobson into a second stop and costs him the win.
