In what was arguably the best race so far in 2012 for the PASS South Series, Kyle Grissom managed to hold off a pack of hungry drivers in a green-white-checker finish to pick up his second career win at the Concord Speedway winning the CV Products 125. Veteran racer Jay Fogleman matched a season best finish of second, while local racer Bobby Measmer rounded out the podium after leading seventy-nine laps of the 125 lap event.
The 125 lap event that has quickly grown in popularity throughout the area’s “Race Weeks” got off to a surprising start in qualifying with Kyle Beattie setting fast time in his first super late model start of the year after racing all year in the new PASS/CCS Super Limited Series support division. After the series redraw of the top ten qualifiers Ryan Blaney, who qualified ninth, took the number one starting spot with Clay Rogers driving for Brad Keselowski to his outside in second.
