Tate Fogleman Takes Long Awaited 1st Career PASS South Win At Hickory

Tate Fogleman Takes Long Awaited 1st Career PASS South Win At Hickory

 

  • For Immediate Release

 



HICKORY, NC (September 24) – Defending Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model Champion, Tate Fogleman, prevailed in a race-long battle with Chris Dilbeck to capture his first career series win in the Catawba Valley 150 on Saturday night at Hickory Motor Speedway.  With his win, Fogleman and his father, Jay, join Mike and Ben Rowe as the only father-son duo to ever capture wins in the South's oldest Super Late Model tour.

"Yeah, it's definitely been a long time coming, that's for sure," said Fogleman in an emotional victory lane.  "He [Dilbeck] definitely put up a fight there at the end and I had my work cut out for me to get around him.  This has been the closest we've been to victory lane and I just couldn't let that one get away." 

            In qualifying, rookie Kodie Conner captured his first career quick qualifying lap with a time of 14.924 seconds (87.563 MPH). After the top 10 qualifiers redraw, Conner would drop to the ninth starting position, while six-time Hickory winner, Preston Peltier, and Lucas Jones would move to the front row.

            While Peltier would jump into the lead at the start, Conner and fellow PASS South championship contender, Matt Craig, would be plagued with problems.  Conner would suffer a flight right front tire after contact with Jones as they battled for fifth on lap four.  On the restart, Craig would suffer a broken axle, ending his night early with a 26th place finish.  Conner would struggle all night and finish 14th.  Conner now leads the standings over Craig by less than 10 points heading to the championship finale at Concord Speedway onNovember 5.

            Fogleman was able to gain the lead from Peltier on an early restart, only to be passed by seventh place starter, Tyler Church, on lap 20.  Church would continue to lead the early going, but the caution would wave again on lap 40 when Jimmy Doyle and Nick Robinson made hard contact with the backstretch wall.

            After a spin by Tyler Williams and Kaylee Stukas three laps later, June Hickory winner Chris Dilbeck would flex his muscle as he bypassed Church for the lead.  The caution flag waved again on lap 63 for a spin in turn two by Andy Loden.  During the caution, Peltier, who had been dropping back, pitted to fix a power steering issue.

            While Dilbeck continued to lead, Peltier and Loden were dicing their way back up through the field and into the top 10. Following a crash by Justin Laduke with 36 laps to go, Fogleman would get the best of Dilbeck on the restart to move back into the lead.  The leaders would make contact in turn two with 25 laps to go, causing both cars to momentarily get sideways, but they would gather it back in and continue the fight.

            The final caution of the night would wave with 12 laps to go for a scary crash involving Jones and Trey Jarrell as they battled for fourth. Both made contact with the frontstretch wall with Jones careening into a tire barrier entering turn one.  While both cars suffered significant damage, the drivers emerged unscathed. 

On the restart, Fogleman struggled to come up to speed, allowing Dilbeck to go back out front.  Fogleman would not be denied though, tapping Dilbeck in turn four to retake the lead with 10 laps to go.  Fogleman led the rest of the way to take the win over Dilbeck, Peltier, Brandon Setzer, and Loden.  Rounding out the top 10 were Jared Irvan, Jody Measamer, Heath Hindman, Lee Hansard, and Matt Sever.

            The next event will be November 4-5 as the PASS National and PASS South Super Late Model champions will be crowned as part of the 14th Annual North-South Shootout at Concord Speedway.

MacDonald on Top for Fifth Time at Bond Auto Parts ACT Invitational

MacDonald on Top for Fifth Time at Bond Auto Parts ACT Invitational

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                                         ACT092416-90

 

Loudon, NH – Eddie MacDonald reigned supreme once again at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, September 24, taking the lead from Jimmy Hebert with five laps to go in the Eighth Annual Auto Parts ACT Invitational en route to his fifth career victory in the event.

 

Rowley, MA's MacDonald started 31st on the grid and was running third to Williamstown, VT's Hebert and Hinesburg, VT's Bobby Therrien when the event's fourth caution came out for a four-car wreck in which both Aaron Fellows and Mark Jenison made hard contact with the turn one wall. Therrien got the jump on the initial restart, but the advantage was erased when Brian Tarbell spun in turn two, bringing the caution back out before a lap was completed and thus sending Hebert back to the point.

 

On the second restart attempt, MacDonald dove three-wide to the inside entering turn one, completing the third-to-first pass on the backstretch. Though Hebert and Alex Labbe dogged MacDonald following a final caution for Jonathan Bouvrette's backstretch spin on lap 46, "The Outlaw" held strong to take home the win and an $8,100 payday.

 

Hebert jumped to the initial lead over polesitter Kyle Welch and looked like the driver to beat for much of the event. Rowland Robinson, Jr. nosed ahead for a circuit following a lap-nine caution for an incident involving Bucky Demers and Donald Theetge, but otherwise it was all Hebert as he and Woody Pitkat drove away from the pack in the middle stages.

 

Therrien and MacDonald came on strong as the race entered its second half, and both had caught Pitkat when Nick Sweet spun exiting turn four to bring out the third caution on lap 35. Hebert was able to fend off a surge by both on the restart, but the pair of cautions with five laps remaining gave MacDonald the break he needed to capture the victory.

 

Hebert settled for second, while Labbe came from the 30th starting position to finish third. Dillon Moltz came home fourth after starting 26th, with Therrien completing the top-five. Tom Carey III took sixth in his first start at "The Magic Mile". Robinson, Pitkat, Joey Polewarczyk, Jr., and Ray Parent rounded out the top-10.

 

 

The ACT Late Models head to Barre, VT's Thunder Road Speedbowl nextSaturday, October 1 and Sunday, October 2 for the 54th Vermont Milk Bowl presented by Northfield Savings Bank. Booth Bros./H.P. Hood Qualifying Day on Saturday will feature time trials and Triple 50 qualifying races to set the 30-car starting field, with the three-segment Milk Bowl on Sunday.
