Naples, ME 6/5/10- Andy Loden’s high, wide, and handsome move to the outside of Jay Fogleman on lap ninety-one of Friday night’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Piedmont Pride 150 at Ace Speedway sealed his second career PASS South series super late model victory in less than a week. Point leader Preston Peltier continued his consistent streak with a second place finish followed by Jimmy Weller with a career best third. Two young guns in Devin Jones and Stephen Nasse rounded out the top five.
The Piedmont Pride 150 marked the series’ first trip to the pristine 4/10th mile facility and it showed early and often in the first twenty five laps. The yellow flag was displayed four times in the first fourteen laps including a red flag situation coming out for the night’s first incident on lap four. Several drivers had their race cut short including third place points man Heath Hindman who had the hardest hit of the night when his #91 RTV Chevy Impala pounded the turn one wall mid air.

PUTTING THE PUZZLE PIECES TOGETHER
Circumstances allow Austin Theriault to seize opportunities in racing
FORT KENT, Maine — Austin Theriault remembers with a laugh his first spin behind the wheel of a stock car.
“It was the ‘Young Guns’ class,” the 16-year-old high school sophomore recalls. “What I remember was how those guys took racing so seriously. They were going circles around me. My left front tire was 4 inches up off the ground.”
What Theriault has learned since that firsthand introduction to the sport was that soon he would take a racing career just as seriously. Just 12 months ago, Theriault never imagined anything more than running in the weekly 4-cylinder division at Spud Speedway in Caribou. Fast-forward to 2010, though, and Theriault plans to run the complete ACT Late Model Tour slate and select PASS North Series events.
“Looking back just a year ago, it all happened pretty quick,” Theriault said. “The biggest thing is just the good people I’ve been meeting along the way… I’ve gone from a little 4-cylinder car a couple years ago to Super Late Models, and it’s just the right people we’ve been lucky enough to have met, I guess.

PASS South races at Ace Friday
The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South super late models make a Friday June 4 appearance at Altahmahaw North Carolina’s Ace Speedway, a fast 4/10 mile speed plant that will be hosting the stars and cars of PASS for the first time.
Ace should be considered a wild card in the race for the 2010 PASS South championship, joining North Wilkesboro Speedway as one of two tracks on the schedule where the series has yet to make an appearance.
With five of the scheduled thirteen championship events in the books, Concord North Carolina’s Preston Peltier is atop the standings by virtue of his two wins and five top five finishes to date. High Point’s Ryan Blaney won the season opener at Dillon (NC) Motor Speedway and trails Peltier by 20 markers, 1086-1066. Consistency has Tennessean Heath Hindman in third, 46 points back from Blaney at 1,020. Jay Fogleman has yet to visit victory lane in 2010 but he’s only six points behind Hindman, deadlocked with Concord Speedway race winner Andy Loden at 1014.
Ace will serve up a heaping helping of action Friday night with King Extremes, Chick-fil-a Modifieds, Legends, Bandoleros and 150 green flag laps for the short track stars of the Pro All Stars Series.
Pit gates open on Friday June 4 at 1:00 PM and PASS practice gets the green at 2:30 PM. The grandstands open at 5:00 PM and the first race will take to the track at 8:00 PM. The PASS super late models, Legends and Bandoleros will time trial at 6:15 PM.
