Ryan Lawler’s Hickory Dominance Comes to an End With Sudden Drop Out Late

HICKORY, NC (September 29, 2007)Heath Hindman put an end to Ryan Lawler’s dominance in the PASS South Super Late Model series at Hickory Motor Speedway (NC) Saturday night in the “Over the Mountain 150” for his first-career PASS South victory.  Hindman took the lead for good on lap 143, when Lawler, who had won the previous two PASS South events at Hickory and had a dominating performance Saturday going for his third in a row, suddenly slowed in turn one under caution with a bad alternator.

That left Hindman to hold off PASS North regular Trevor Sanborn for the victory over several late-race restarts.  Hindman crossed beneath the checkered flag .369-seconds ahead of Sanborn for the victory.

Brian Royalty, in his first-ever PASS South start, finished third, ahead of Preston Peltier and Jason Hogan in the top-five.

The PASS South competitors now have approximately one month to prepare for the series’ penultimate event of the 2007 season.  “The Howler” at Greenville-Pickens Speedway (SC) will be the series’ next race on October 27th, which will be followed by the season-ending Mason-Dixon Meltdown at Concord Motorsport Park (NC) on November 16th and 17th.
