Veteran Jeff Fultz outlasted a strong field of PASS South Super Late Models Saturday night at Virginia’s South Boston Speedway to score his first career series victory.
The win by Fultz was made even more meaningful by the fact that he becomes the 50th different winner in the series dating back to 2006.
“I just love South Boston and I don’t get to race much anymore, plus the guys worked all day in 100 degree heat to get this car right,” said Fultz. “I’ve never won a PASS race, three white flags and we’re leading and the caution comes out and we end up losing. It’s a tough series and they race everywhere. I’ve finally got something to put on my resume that I have been waiting a long time to get.”
Former PASS National Champion, Preston Peltier, captured his series leading 20th career quick qualifying time with a lap of 15.607 seconds (92.266 mph) and by luck of the top 10 qualifiers redraw would start on the pole alongside PASS South rookie Kodie Conner.
Peltier jumped out to the early lead, but saw his advantage evaporate when the caution flew on lap 9 when the car of Brandon Setzer slowed due to a broken rear end. On the restart, Dalton Sargeant was able to get the advantage over Peltier to take the lead. The caution would fly again on lap 52 when Ron Young spun after a tap from Dawsonville, Georgia’s Spencer Davis.
Back under way, Peltier returned the favor to Sargeant, as he retook the lead using the outside groove. Peltier would hold the point until the third caution of the night flew with 66 laps to go after Young spun again in turn three due to contact from Conner.
On the restart, Sargeant would spin his tires, allowing Fultz to move into second. After pitting earlier to make adjustments, Tate Fogleman appeared to have one of the fastest cars on the track, passing Conner for fifth with 39 laps to go. Conner would be forced to stop on the track in turn two with 23 laps to go because of a broken hub.

Peltier led the field to green on the restart, but his machine hesitated, allowing Fultz and Fogleman to sneak by entering turn one. As the field took evasive action for Peltier’s slow start, rookie Chase Purdy spun into the back straightaway wall hard as he tried to clear the lapped machine of John-Michae Shenette. As Purdy and Shenette spun back down the track, several cars would be collected in the pileup, including Matt Craig, Trey Jarrell, Blake Jones, Conner, Tyler Ankrum, and Davis.
Following a red flag to allow crews to clean up the accident scene, Peltier’s car would not fire and he would be forced from the race due to a dead battery.
Fultz took command and would lead the remaining laps for his first win with the LFR Chassis team over Fogleman in second, Sargeant in third, Jared Fryar in fourth and Jeremie Whorff in fifth.
Joey Padgett, Deac McCaskill, Matt Craig, Hannah Newhouse and Young rounded out the top ten.
The PASS South Super Late Models will return to action on Saturday, September 24 at Hickory Motor Speedway.
