Ace PASS Win Makes It
Two in a Row for
Loden |
Naples, ME 6/5/10-
Andy Loden’s high, wide, and handsome move to the
outside of Jay Fogleman on lap ninety-one of Friday
night’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Piedmont Pride 150
at Ace Speedway sealed his second career PASS South
series super late model victory in less than a week.
Point leader Preston Peltier continued his consistent
streak with a second place finish followed by Jimmy
Weller with a career best third. Two young guns in Devin
Jones and Stephen Nasse rounded out the top five.
The Piedmont Pride 150 marked the series’ first
trip to the pristine 4/10th mile facility and it showed
early and often in the first twenty five laps. The
yellow flag was displayed four times in the first
fourteen laps including a red flag situation coming out
for the night’s first incident on lap four. Several
drivers had their race cut short including third place
points man Heath Hindman who had the hardest hit of the
night when his #91 RTV Chevy Impala pounded the turn one
wall mid air.
Once green flag racing got underway, constant
side by side battles for the lead between veteran Jay
Fogleman and series newcomer Andy Loden ensued. The two
would take turns leading all the while opening a
significant lead over Preston Peltier through the first
ninety-one laps. Meanwhile Justin Wakefield was chopping
his way through the field with lap times faster than the
leaders. Wakefield would make his way all the way up to
battle a fading Jay Fogleman for second when the two
tangled, sending a fast Wakefield spinning and out of
contention for the win.
Wakefield’s spin bunched the field up, giving
all challengers a fair shot at leader Loden but no one
came even close to the top spot. Loden and his Monroe
Roadways race team earned their second career PASS South
series victory just six days apart from their first.
The next PASS South super late model event is
set for Saturday June 26th when the series makes its’
return to the Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, NC
for the Southern Sizzler 150.
