PASS South: Blaney Returns to his winning ways at Greenville-Pickens
Loden comes up one spot short in his quest for four straight
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.

Brad Babb defends Miller Lite 50 title at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.
Scarborough, Maine-Brad Babb won the Miller Lite 50 Saturday night for the second consecutive year. Charlie Colby led the opening laps with Bill Whorff moving into early contention. Whorff moved into the lead on lap 8 with Babb moving to second place. Babb moved to the lead on lap 10 and began to pull away from Whorff and Bill Rodgers. By laps 21 Babb had a full straight lead as Whorff and Rodgers were racing side by side for second place. It appeared as if Babb was going to cruise to the win until lap 47 when he came upon slower traffic just as they decided to crash with each other. Babb narrowly escaped the wreck but the caution flag set the stage for a different kind of fireworks. When racing resumed Babb and Bill Rodgers blasted off for a 2 lap shoot out for the win. Rodgers got the better start and pulled into the lead on the backstretch. Entering turn 3 Babb got into the back of Rodgers sending both cars up the race track and Bill Whorff into the lead. On the white flag lap Babb got to the inside of Whorff and was able to get a run to the outside of Whorff racing down the backstretch. The dash to the finish line saw Babb get to the line first by inches over Whorff. Dan McKeage was third with Dave Oliver and Rodgers rounding out the top five. (more…)
