CHARLOTTE, NC (March 24) – Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model points leader Zane Smith is brimming with confidence as he looks forward to his first experience in the Easter Bunny 150 coming up on Saturday, April 4th at Hickory Motor Speedway. With only seven starts under his belt dating back to last season, Smith has had a superb beginning to the 2015 season. The Huntington Beach, CA native finished third in his first ever trip to Dillon Motor Speedway and was runner-up to 3-time PASS National Champion, Ben Rowe, in a photo finish last weekend in the Peach Blossom Special at Anderson Motor Speedway. Based on his early season success, Smith believes he has a legitimate shot at capturing his first career PASS South win on one of the biggest stages of them all, the 10th Annual Easter Bunny 150.
