Naples, ME 7/3/10 - Ryan Blaney scored his
second Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South series victory
of 2010 Friday night in front of an always stellar crowd
at the Greenville-Pickens Speedway in Easley, South
Carolina. The sixteen-year-old driver made a patient s
march to the front, taking the green flag from the
fifteenth position. Blaney managed his tires and waited
until lap 102 to make his move to the lead.
Andy
Loden finished second coming up one position short of a
series record fourth consecutive PASS super late model
sanction win in a row. Kyle Bonsignore finished with a
career best of third. PASS South point leader Preston
Peltier finished fourth followed by Jody Lavender in
fifth.
Thirty-two cars attempted to qualify for
the twenty-eight car Firecracker 125 starting field.
Chase Elliott set fast time after blowing up the engine
in his primary car early in the day’s practice session.
Elliott’s Pro Photo Productions fast time award didn’t
translate to a good result as Elliott struggled to a
fifteenth place finish.
Several drivers took
advantage of the plentiful amount of green flag racing
including Devin Jones and Randy Porter, who both managed
solid top ten finishes after having to race their way in
through the fifteen lap last chance race. Texas native,
Trey Mitchell, matched his season best finish of sixth
thanks to a second place qualifying effort. He was
followed by thirteen-year-old rookie, Kyle Benjamin, who
had a career best night with his seventh place finish.
PASS South gets back in action August 7th when
the series makes their first of two stops at the Newport
Speedway in Newport, TN for the Daniel Boone Classic.
The PASS National Championship series travels
north for the first time in 2010 when the touring short
track stars challenge the high banks of New England’s
fastest weekly race track, Thompson International
Speedway, on Thursday July 22nd. |
