career&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>quick qualifying time in PASS with a lap of 14.<\/strong><strong>603<\/strong><strong>seconds (<\/strong><strong>89<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><strong>488<\/strong><strong>MPH).&nbsp;&nbsp;After the top 10 qualifiers redraw, Peltier would move back to the&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>sixth<\/strong><strong>starting position, while Tate Fogleman and&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Mike Hopkins<\/strong><strong>would move up to the front row.&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;<\/strong><strong>With rain being a persistent threat throughout the day and into the evening, the competition was fierce as Fogleman jumped into the early lead.&nbsp;&nbsp;Peltier and fellow Easter Bunny 150 winner, Stephen Nasee, moved to the outside groove early on and bypassed Fogleman for the lead on lap 15.&nbsp;&nbsp;The first caution of the night would wave on lap 28 for a spin by Christian Rose on the backstretch.<\/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, Peltier would slip in turn two allowing Mike Hopkins to move by on the outside and into the lead.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, after a caution on lap 36 for a spin by Molly Helmuth and Ray Christian, III, Hopkins relinquished the lead, pitting to evaluate a vibration in his car.&nbsp;&nbsp;This handed the lead back to Peltier, who would be dogged for the next 100 laps by Bubba Pollard.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Defending PASS National Champion, Derek Griffth, was eliminated in a crash on the front stretch on lap 76, which also collected current National points leader, Jake Johnson.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then, just five laps later, Jerrick Johnson spun in turn four, collecting Kyle Plott and Matt Craig among others.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Over the next 60 laps, Peltier and Pollard would compete in a heavyweight bout for the lead, trading the lead back and forth, as they also traded sheet metal on occasion.&nbsp;&nbsp;It would come to a head with 16 laps to go as the two made contact down the backstretch and again in turn four, sending Pollard for a spin.&nbsp;Peltier would be placed at the rear of the field with Pollard for his involvement in the incident.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This put Fogleman out front again, until lap 140 when he was bypassed on the outside for the lead by Hopkins.&nbsp;&nbsp;The caution would wave just three laps later for wall contact by Craig in turn two.&nbsp;&nbsp;On the restart, both Fogleman and Corey Heim were able to move around Hopkins and into the top two positions.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, with four laps to go, Fogleman spun after contact from Heim to bring out the caution, resulting in both cars going to the rear.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/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 final restart, Ramstrom was able to get by Hopkins for the lead and led the final four laps for his first ever triumph in the Easter Bunny 150.&nbsp;&nbsp;Following them at the checkers were Brandon Setzer, Travis Stearns, and rookie Justin Crider.&nbsp;&nbsp;Rounding out the top ten were Pollard, Gracie Trotter, Trey Jarrell, Nasse, and Nicholas Naugle.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
