HICKORY, NC (<\/strong>March 31<\/strong>) \u2013 Preston Peltier<\/strong>\u00a0survived<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>a second half duel with local favorite Shane Lee to claim the victory in the 13th<\/sup>\u00a0Annual\u00a0<\/strong>Easter Bunny 150<\/strong>Presented By MyComputerCareer<\/strong>\u00a0Saturday<\/span>\u00a0night at Hickory Motor Speedway.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Peltier\u2019s fifth Easter Bunny 150 triumph pushed his overall Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model win total to 16, the most of any driver in series history.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cT<\/strong>o be honest, the car was really fast on a short run, but the whole setup was a little too stiff and I thought we had messed up<\/strong>,\u201d said Peltier,\u00a0<\/strong>who hauled his machine from Colorado where he now lives<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0\u201c<\/strong>This place is just incredible, I\u2019ve never felt it have this much grip before<\/strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0This is the first race my daughter, Jocelyn, has been at, she\u2019s only eight weeks old, and I know where this Easter Bunny\u2019s going, that\u2019s for sure.<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the restart, Fogleman would continue to lead, while Trevor Noles made his way into the top five, passing Johnson for fifth on lap 25.\u00a0\u00a0Just 10 laps later and after a slight tap by Jeff Fultz in turn two, Johnson would spin, while Jeff Batten, Wyatt Alexander, and Bryan Kruzek all made hard contact with the wall as they tried to avoid Johnson\u2019s spinning car.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fogleman continued to lead until lap 41, when two-time PASS South Super Late Model champion, Matt Craig, would take the top spot on a restart.\u00a0\u00a0A few laps later, Derek Griffith would also attempt to overtake Fogleman for second, but Griffith would spin while racing hard as he entered turn one to bring out the fourth caution of the night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fogleman would return the favor to Craig on the next restart, taking the lead on lap 62 for the second time in the race.\u00a0\u00a0But, just five laps later, Peltier would make his presence know, taking the lead away from Fogleman.\u00a0\u00a0On lap 70, Roy Hayes made contact with the backstretch wall, resulting in Kodie Conner and several others colliding to bring out the sixth caution of the night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Peltier still out from, former Hickory Motor Speedway regular, Shane Lee, would make his way into second, applying heavy pressure to the leader.\u00a0Despite two late cautions, Peltier would hold on to take the win over Lee, Brandon Setzer, DJ Shaw, and Fultz.\u00a0\u00a0The top five finishers each will receive a guaranteed starting position to either the Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway in August or the Inaugural Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway in October.\u00a0\u00a0Rounding out the top 10 were Garrett Hall, Craig, Griffith, Noles, and Ben Rowe.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
