Cole Butcher Sweeps
PASS
Doubleheader at
Hickory |
|

Cole Butcher
had a day to
remember Saturday at
Hickory Motor
Speedway, winning
both Pro All Stars
Series (PASS) Super
Late Model 150-lap
races.
Inclement weather
forced officials to
combine the St.
Patrick's Day 150
and Easter Bunny 150
into a one-day show,
presenting a 300-lap
stage for the Super
Late Model
competitors. Butcher
took full advantage,
winning both of
Saturday's races.
In the St.
Patrick's Day 150 to
start Saturday, Cole
Butcher took the
lead just past
halfway and held off
Max Cookson on a
green-white-checkered
restart for the
victory.
"I
can't thank Max
enough for racing me
clean on that last
restart," said
Butcher in victory
lane. "I know he was
better than me on
the restarts, but we
were able to get it
done."
As for
Cookson, the
runner-up finish was
a promising start to
his first full-time
season of PASS
competition after
winning the Oxford
Plains Speedway
Super Late Model
track championship
last year.
"We got here
Thursday and
instantly, I really
like the place,"
said Cookson. "Three
and four are really
tricky, and there's
a lot of quirks.
It's a track you've
really got to be
able to drive. To
come home second in
the opener here,
coming home second
to Cole is always a
good day."
Butcher backed it up
by finishing in the
top spot in the
Easter Bunny 150,
taking the lead from
Mike Hopkins on lap
95.
"We
finished fourth last
weekend [at
Pensacola] and two
wins here," said
Butcher. "Let's keep
it going."
Cookson again
finished second to
Butcher in the
second race, unable
to reel in Car
No.53.
"Cole
had a really good
car, and we're all
trying to take care
of the tires. We
made it better from
the last race, but
it wasn't enough to
keep up with him."
Ryan Kuhn
completed the podium
in the first race,
fighting to a
third-place finish
with a car that did
not handle to his
liking following an
extended red flag
for a multi-car
incident on the 49th
lap which ended the
race for several
competitors.
"After that red
flag, the car got
really, really
loose. I knew I was
kinda done from
there," said Kuhn.
"We started off
strong again. I wish
I had a little more
drive, I think we
could have gotten
there, but Cole was
in a league of his
own. Cookson was
good. I think I
managed my
right-rear a little
better than he did,
he was getting
loose. We gave them
all we had, and
we'll go on to the
next one."
Mike Hopkins led
plenty of laps
throughout the day,
but faded to 14th in
the first half and
finished third in
the Easter Bunny
150.
"We got
wicked too tight in
the first race,"
said Hopkins. "This
one, we had them
covered, but the
same thing. It got
wicked, wicked tight
in the middle, and
it got so you had no
drive off." |
