Alex Haase drove under Justin Wakefield in the closing laps of Saturday’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Howler 150 super late model feature at Greenville-Pickens Speedway to capture his third PASS victory of 2008 in his #51 Kyle Busch Foundation Toyota Camry.Haase edged out Warner New Hampshire’s Adam Bates and Goldsboro North Carolina’s Jeff Fultz for the victory. Trey Mitchell and Toby Porter rounded out the top five. Haase swept both PASS South events at Greenville-Pickens in 2008.
Toby Porter led the way in time trials with a lap of 20.207 seconds, besting Justin Wakefield (20.276) and John Wes Townley (20.284) for the RC2 Race City Race Cars Pole award. Canadian Lonnie Summerville won the last chance qualifier over Mark Gibson and Clete Caywood.
Cassius Clark pulled the number one spot in the top ten redraw to start the race from the pole. Clark and his fellow PASS National Championship contender John Stancill got together on lap 90, ending Clark’s night. Although Stancill continued on for an eighth place finish, Clark’s finishes in the first three National Championship rounds were enough to top Stancill for the inaugural PASS National title.
Haase’s win, coupled with a 22nd place finish by Corey Williams unofficially puts Haase on top of the PASS South standings as the series heads into its final events of 2008.
