\u2013 Austin Reed and Mike Hopkins split Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Model wins in the Inaugural PASS Commonwealth Classic Saturday afternoon at Richmond Raceway.&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cThe crew made some awesome adjustments at the halfway break and then the car was on rails,\u201d said Reed after the biggest win of his career.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cTo win at Richmond is just amazing.&nbsp;&nbsp;I can\u2019t believe we won yet, but I can\u2019t wait for it to sink in.\u201d<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In qualifying, both PASS Crate pole sitter Ray Christian, III and Heim, the PASS Open fast qualifier, were quicker than Kevin Harvick\u2019s pole time at Richmond last fall, with Heim posting a lap of 126.152 miles per hour.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Heim jumped to the lead at the start for the PASS Open Super Late Model race, while Tate Fogleman settled into second.&nbsp;&nbsp;The car on the move early was Matt Craig, who started sixth, but moved past Fogleman for second on lap 30.&nbsp;&nbsp;The two made slight contact at the exit of turn two causing damage to the right rear of Craig\u2019s Camaro.&nbsp;&nbsp;Craig was able to repair the damage during the competition caution on lap 40.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the restart, Craig appeared to get the advantage on Heim entering turn one, but Heim would rocket back by him down the backstretch.&nbsp;The battle for second between Craig and Fogleman would heat up again, literally.&nbsp;&nbsp;As Fogleman looked ready to take the position, a fire would erupt from under the hood of his car to bring out the second caution of the night on lap 48.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Following the restart, Craig continued to struggle a bit as Ben Rowe looked to try and take second.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, after the two made contact in turn three, Jared Irvan was able to jump up to the outside and pass both of them for second.&nbsp;&nbsp;The fastest car on the racetrack, though, was Austin Reed as he was making his way up from the rear of the field.&nbsp;&nbsp;Reed would take second from Irvan with three laps to go, but would run out of time as Heim led flag-to-flag to apparently take his first career PASS Super Late Model win.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, in post-race inspection, Heim\u2019s car was disqualified, handing the win to Reed.&nbsp;&nbsp;Irvan would finish second, followed by Craig, Rowe, and Augie Grill.&nbsp;&nbsp;Rounding out the top ten were Eddie MacDonald, Derek Griffith, Eddie Van Meter, Mike Wallace, and Kyle Reed.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the drop of the green flag for the PASS Crate Late Models, Christian jumped out to the lead from the pole.&nbsp;&nbsp;After a caution for debris from Garrett Hall\u2019s machine on lap 10, Martin Latulippe was able to grab the lead from Christian on the restart.&nbsp;&nbsp;It would be short-lived though as Christian reassumed the top spot three laps later.&nbsp;&nbsp;The caution would wave again on lap 24 when Hall slammed the turn four wall after spinning in fluid from the car of Reid Lanpher.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to the competition caution on lap 40, Hopkins would snag the lead from Christian.&nbsp;&nbsp;But just two laps after the restart, Christian would move back by to take the lead.&nbsp;&nbsp;Christian looked to be driving away for the win, but would fall off the pace with just 12 laps to go with mechanical issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hopkins moved back up front and led the rest of the way for his second career PASS win over Jake Johnson, Matt Craig, Latulippe, and Gabe Brown.&nbsp;&nbsp;Rounding out the top ten were Ben Rowe, Kyle Reed, Devin O\u2019Connell, Dan McKeage, and Derek Ramstrom.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cI can\u2019t believe that we just won at Richmond,\u201d said Hopkins in victory lane.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cWe really struggled with the car yesterday in traffic, but we put our heads together and worked on the car and it handled flawlessly today.&nbsp;&nbsp;I\u2019m honestly a little emotional, this is just awesome!\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Joey Polewarcyzk, Jr. was the ACT Late Model winner and Matt Hirschman was the Tour-Type Modified victor, while Jason McDowell took the MASS Street Stock win and Daniel Bentley claimed the NEMST Mini Stock win.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
