The first South Carolina Clash was held in 2006 at the Florence Motor Speedway. This race was the first PASS South event for local hero Hal Goodson and would see an epic battle between veterans Freddie Query and Mike Rowe and up and coming superstar Charlie Bradberry. The three drivers traded the lead back and forth while, at the same time, trading a little paint. The race saw an extreme amount of attrition with only five cars running at the checkered flag.
