Bubba
Pollard Prevails In PASS
South
Slugfest At South Boston |
SOUTH BOSTON, VA
(August 11) - Georgia's
Bubba Pollard came back from
a late spin to take the win
in Saturday night's
Davenport Energy 150 at
South Boston Speedway for
the Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) South Super Late
Models. Pollard's 2nd career
PASS South win locks him in
to the 45th Annual Clark's
Scrap Metal Oxford 250 at
Oxford Plains Speedway
coming up in two weeks.
"That's how you do it
right there, that's how we
do it in the south," said
Pollard, after a hard fought
battle with runner-up Lucas
Jones. "We didn't have a
very good car when we
started the race, we didn't
have a shot to win and we
had to take a gamble and pit
to make it right. Getting
locked in to Oxford is huge,
it's big. Oxford is gonna be
a tough field, those guys
are good. We've been working
hard all year to try and
make that our race to focus
on, so I hope we can do it."
For the third straight
race this year, the track
qualifying record was broken
in qualifying. Rookie Logan
Seavey set the fast time
with a lap of 14.298 seconds
(100.713 MPH). After the top
10 qualifiers redraw, Seavey
would move all the way back
to the ninth starting
position, while Austin
Thaxton and Brandon Setzer
would move up to the front
row.
At the drop of
the green flag, Setzer would
jump into the lead. Kodie
Conner would go to the front
on lap 13 and lead until
two-time defending PASS
South champion, Matt Craig,
would stop on the speedway
with a flat right rear tire
six laps later.
On
the restart, Conner and
Setzer would make contact in
turn four and slide up the
race track, allowing Brandon
Lynn and Lucas Jones to move
by and into the top two
spots. Conner's night would
end on lap 24 after contact
with another car sent him
into the outside wall,
collecting Tate Fogleman in
the process.
Lynn
would continue to lead over
Jones and Corey Heim. Jones
would begin to flex his
muscle, taking the lead on a
lap 64 restart. Following a
couple of pit stops under
cautions to make
adjustments, Pollard was
making his way through the
field, taking fifth from
Jared Irvan with 63 laps to
go. Just two laps later,
Heim would take the lead on
the backstretch from Jones.
Following the seventh
caution of the night for
wall contact by Irvan on lap
103, Jones and Pollard would
move by Heim and begin to
wage war for the lead. Jones
and Pollard would trade the
lead back-and-forth before
Pollard would move ahead
with 20 laps to go.
Lynn slammed the wall hard
with 11 laps to go setting
up another restart and run
to the finish. When the
green waved again, Jones
would get the advantage over
Pollard on the restart. As
the two battled for the
lead, Pollard would get a
run on Jones entering turn
three, but contact between
the two would cause Pollard
to spin.
Following
two more cautions, Pollard
got back up to second for
the final restart with three
laps to go. Pollard took the
lead from Jones on the
restart and led the rest of
the way to take the win on
his first trip to South
Boston Speedway. Rounding
out the top five were Jeff
Batten, Heim, who swept the
NASCAR Late Model Stock
features as well, and Roy
Hayes. The top five
finishers each will receive
a guaranteed starting
position to either the
Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains
Speedway or the inaugural
PASS Commonwealth Classic at
Richmond Raceway in October.
Rounding out the top 10 were
Trey Jarrell, JP Josiasse,
Seavey, Thaxton, and Lynn.
The PASS National
Championship Super Late
Models will be in action
next up on Sunday, August 25
for the 45th Annual Clark's
Scrap Metal Oxford 250 at
Oxford Plains Speedway, with
a chance to win up to
$50,000. The next southern
event will be the PASS
Commonwealth Classic at
Richmond Raceway on
Saturday, October 20. Entry
forms are currently
available at
ProAllStarsSeries.com.
