Peltier’s Patience Pays
Off with
PASS Easter Bunny Win |
(Hickory NC
– 4/3/10) Preston Peltier bided his time as Jay
Fogleman and Ryan Blaney battled for the lead in
Saturday night’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South super
late model 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway, but when it
came time to pull the trigger Peltier drove around both
Fogleman and Blaney to capture the victory. Fogleman cam
home second after starting 21st and series point leader
Ryan Blaney earned third. Cassius Clark, Jeff Choquette,
Joey Gase, Chase Elliott, Ben Rowe, Heath Hindman and
Clay Jones completed the top ten.
Over 50 super late models crowded the Hickory pits with
49 answering the call for time trials and home track
hero and two time track champion Andy Loden topped the
field with a 14.902 lap, nipping Cassius Clark’s 14.904
for fast time. Loden would start the event from 8th
after the top ten redraw. Chase Elliott drew the pole
with Cassius Clark alongside. PASS National point leader
Brad Leighton, four time PASS North Champion Ben Rowe,
Steve Legendre and George Gorham were all forced to take
provisional starting spots.
Clark grabbed the lead from Elliott at the drop of the
green and tried to drive away from the field but a rash
of cautions cancelled out his efforts each time. Colt
James challenged Clark on each restart and made the
outside groove work to take the point on lap 18. Clark
and James swapped the lead several times during the
first 50 laps; but Ryan Blaney had worked his way up
from eighth to third and snatched the second spot from
James at lap 65. Blaney made his move on Clark on lap
eighty three. Clark reclaimed the lead from laps 96
through 107 but Blaney battled back to the point on lap
108 with Fogleman now second. It was a battle of youth
and experience up front and with 18 to go Fogleman put
his ride out front with B laney hot on his heels.
Preston Peltier was lurking in third now, saving his
equipment and preparing to mount his challenge. Peltier
set sail on the outside and drove around both Blaney and
Fogleman, building a five car length lead at the checker
for the $5,000.00 victory.
Consolation round wins went to Fogleman, Jeff Choquette,
and Ryan Moore. Lonnie Sommerville earned his way into
the feature by winning the Last Chance Qualifier.
Thirteen cars completed all 150 green flag laps.
