Keeton Hanks, making his PASS South debut, finished  second followed by Texas native Trey Mitchell who grabbed his first career  podium finish. A pair of Georgia natives,  Justin Wakefield and Bubba Pollard, rounded out the top five at the inaugural  series event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span>After starting fifth Peltier, piloting  the #26 Johnson Motorsports entry, quickly dropped into third position behind  series regular Heath Hindman and newcomer Chris Whorton. Then on lap twenty two  Peltier made his move to the front while two drivers Bubba Pollard and Keeton  Hanks methodically made their way to the front of the field. A lap eighty  caution brought the field back together for just the second of three times that  night and allowed Justin Wakefield among others to bring their cars to pit road,  opting for chassis adjustments over track position. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span>Not only did the caution allow teams  to make adjustments to their race cars but it put both Pollard and Hanks within  striking distance of the leader Peltier. The two battled side by side over the  next forty plus laps allowing Peltier to pull away with the race lead before  contact was made bringing out the night\u2019s final caution. The contact sent both  competitors to the pits for minor repairs and opened the door for Trey Mitchell  to take his shot at the top spot. The final twenty two laps proved to be some of  the best racing of the night as the fans watched Hanks shoot his way through the  field to finish second and saw two and even three wide racing right down to the  strip between Pollard, Wakefield, and a hungry Mitchell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span>\u201cThis is awesome making it two in a  row,\u201d explained an excited Peltier after the race. \u201cTo go from winning my first  PASS race at Orange County to now having won two of the last  three races this season feels unreal. I can\u2019t thank Harold (Johnson-team owner)  enough for putting this deal together and I just hope we can keep it up and keep  gaining points to have a shot at the championship come the end of the  season.\u201d<span> <\/span><span> <\/span><span> <\/span><span> <\/span><span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span>Next up for the PASS South series will  be a Forth of July weekend double header  starting off Friday July 3<sup>rd<\/sup> with the Firecracker 125 at the  Greenville-Pickens Speedway followed up by the Independence 150 at the Hickory Motor Speedway  on Sunday July 5<sup>th<\/sup>. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial\"> The PASS  North\u00a0super late models make their second appearance of 2009 at Beech Ridge  Motor Speedway in Scarborough Maine on Friday June<\/span><span> 26th.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naples, ME 6\/22\/09- It took just twenty two laps for Preston Peltier to make his way to the front Saturday night at Georgia\u2019s New Senoia Raceway and from there he never looked back, leading the next 128 laps en route to his second consecutive Pro All Stars Series ( PASS) South super late model win [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=583"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
