MYRTLE BEACH, SC (March 16) \u2013 Defending PASS South Champion Kyle Grissom charged from 12th<\/sup>\u00a0after a lap 100 competition caution to\u00a0the\u00a0lead in just nine laps and held on to win\u00a0the\u00a0the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model Bash At The Beach 150 at Myrtle Beach Speedway.\u00a0\u00a0The win was Grissom\u2019s sixth in his PASS South Super Late Model career.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat first half we tried to save our tires as best we could and the left rear just wore out really bad.\u00a0\u00a0We made an adjustment at the break and as soon as we got back going, I knew that saving the tires wasn\u2019t going to do anything for us,\u201d said Grissom.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cAll I was trying to do was get to the lead and fall back from there to conserve.\u00a0\u00a0To finally win a race here at Myrtle Beach in a Super Late Model with PASS and beat all of those guys\u2026it\u2019s a really good night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s winner at Dillon and\u00a0current\u00a0PASS South points leader Austin Theriault employed a similar strategy to Grissom, falling back in the early going to outside the top 15.\u00a0\u00a0But, by lap 100, Theriault brought Brad Keselowski\u2019s Checkered Flag Foundation Ford back up to 8th<\/sup>\u00a0and in sight of the leaders.\u00a0\u00a0Both he and Grissom stormed to the front at the drop of the green flag and were mired in heavy lapped traffic in the final five laps.\u00a0\u00a0Theriault closed to within five car lengths of Grissom, but could not make an advance on the race leader and ultimately came home in second.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe rode around for a while kind of like last week [at Dillon] knowing that those who had charged early on would come back to us,\u201d said Theriault after his second straight top five finish.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWe made a couple of adjustments during that lap 100 break and I think we went the wrong way.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019m happy to come home second, second straight top three finish, the cars in one piece and we\u2019ll see you at Hickory.\u201d<\/p>\n

The evening began with Johnny Sauter taking quick time in qualifying with a lap of 97.547 miles per hour around the .538 mile, D-shaped speedway.\u00a0\u00a0After the top ten qualifiers redrew for their starting positions, Sauter and second fastest qualifier Jay Fogleman swapped positions on the front row to lead the 27 car starting field to the green flag.\u00a0\u00a0Although Fogleman would take the lead at the start, Sauter quickly flexed his muscle and moved to the top spot on lap 4.<\/p>\n

The early portions of the Bash At The Beach, were all about comers and goers.\u00a0\u00a0Mark Gibson started 17th<\/sup>, moving by Jordan Anderson in turn one and into the top five by lap 16.\u00a0\u00a0Gibson moved up as high as second position, but began falling back due to a slowly leaking tire and was out of the top ten by lap 70.\u00a0\u00a0With a night that began with such promise going by the wayside, Gibson\u2019s Glenwood Clinical Monitoring Chevrolet struggled through the remainder of the race and finished 20th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

All-time PASS Super Late Model wins leader Ben Rowe took a more methodical approach from his 12th<\/sup>\u00a0place starting position.\u00a0\u00a0Rowe moved by Grissom into the top five on lap 45.\u00a0\u00a0In less than 25 laps, Rowe made easy work of Sauter to take the lead.<\/p>\n

As they were racing hard up front, Jay Fogleman began to chip away at the advantage held by the leaders.\u00a0\u00a0On lap 81, Fogleman and Rowe made it three wide as they lapped rookie Joseph Mursuli with Fogleman coming out on top and assuming the lead.\u00a0\u00a0At lap 100, the competition caution flew to allow teams to change two tires with Fogleman leading followed by Rowe, Sauter, local standout Jamie Weatherford and Anderson.<\/p>\n

On the ensuing start, a frantic pace began over the next 20 laps that saw the best racing of the night.\u00a0\u00a0Sauter reassumed the lead as Fogleman and Rowe quickly dropped down the running order.\u00a0\u00a0Grissom, on the other hand, was making an amazing charge which saw him go three wide through the tri-oval and pass four cars entering turn one.\u00a0\u00a0With 41 laps to go, Grissom made his way around Sauter to take the lead.<\/p>\n

Theriault restarted eighth, but moved around Sauter with less than 30 laps to go for second and set his sights on Grissom.\u00a0Theriault closed to within a couple of car lengths of the leader as they weaved through heavy lapped traffic in the final five laps, but that was as close as he would get.\u00a0\u00a0Grissom drove the Harrison\u2019s Workwear Chevrolet to the checkered flag for his first win of 2013 over Theriault, Sauter,\u00a0Fogleman and Jordan Anderson.\u00a0\u00a0Rounding out the top ten were Brandon Ward, Rowe, Gus Dean, Weatherford, and rookie Zak Hausler.<\/p>\n

In the 75 lap\u00a0PASS Pro Late Model race\u00a0held\u00a0earlier in the evening, Trevor Noles was able to notch his third career victory.\u00a0\u00a0Georgia\u2019s Spencer Davis, who also competed in the PASS South Super Late Model event, took the lead on the initial start.\u00a0\u00a0But, by lap 10, longtime Myrtle Beach Speedway competitor Clay Thomas drove the Kerry Lawrence owned entry into the lead.\u00a0\u00a0Thomas continued to lead until lap 33 when Tyler Dayton appeared to lose an engine.\u00a0\u00a0Thomas slowed and fell back to sixth handing the lead back to Davis.\u00a0\u00a0Just four laps later though, Noles sped into the lead and never looked back to take the win.\u00a0Davis finished second, followed by Hayes Goodson, fast qualifier Austin Reed, and Tyler Audie.<\/p>\n

It was a busy night for the Pro All Stars Series with awards presentations for the series\u2019 2012 competitors and a remembrance for Robert \u201cSmoke\u201d Rodgers, a longtime supporter of PASS and several of its teams over the years.\u00a0\u00a0Rodgers daughter, Kayla, was in attendance and was the honorary starter for Bash At The Beach.<\/p>\n

The next event for the Pro All Stars Series will be on March 30<\/span>th<\/sup>\u00a0at Hickory Motor Speedway.\u00a0\u00a0The 8<\/span>th<\/sup>\u00a0Annual Easter Bunny 150 has grown into North America\u2019s marquee event in the Spring for Super Late Models and is expected to attract the best drivers in the land.\u00a0\u00a0This year\u2019s Easter Bunny 150 will be the second PASS National Series race of the year and the final National event prior to July\u2019s TD Bank 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine.\u00a0\u00a0In addition to the PASS Super Late Models, the PASS Pro Late Models and CCS Modifieds will also be in action.<\/span><\/p>\n
