Ronny Lee Hollingsworth Wins; Heads to Wisconsin

Northport, Alabama (07/29/13) – Ronny Lee Hollingsworth entered a pair of NeSmith Late Model Series events over the weekend in the state of Tennessee in a borrowed car, and by the time the final checkered flag had dropped he had claimed his fifth win of the 2013 season as well as extended his advantage in the standings.

Action opened on Friday night at Tennessee National Raceway (Hohenwald, Tennessee), where 27 competitors locked to try and claim the $2,000 top prize. Hollingsworth was piloting an entry that he borrowed from Evan Ellis since he was preparing his car for the upcoming USA Nationals at Cedar Lake Speedway (New Richmond, Wisconsin). The fact that he was in a borrowed car didn't slow him down a bit though as Ronny Lee started his night by setting the second fastest time to lock into the 2nd starting spot for the 40 lap finale. He would go on to lead every lap as he claimed the victory by over three seconds! Josh Adkins, Ronnie Johnson, Todd Morrow, and Shane Stephens rounded out the top five finishers.

Saturday evening found the team pitted at Clayhill Motorsports (Atwood, Tennessee), where the winner's check was increased to $2,500. With 26 entries looking to take a shot at the event Hollingsworth qualified 9th fastest in the field to lock into the 9th starting spot for the 50 lap feature. During the course of the caution-plagued finale Ronny Lee advanced six spots to a third place finish behind race winner, Tait Davenport, and Kyle Bronson.

“I want to thank Evan Ellis for letting me borrow this car for the weekend, as I’m getting my car ready to run next weekend in Wisconsin,” Hollingsworth said. “The car was fast right out of the trailer and it really helped us in the Championship battle.”

Hollingsworth continues to lead the latest NeSmith National Late Model Series standings over Ronnie Johnson with an eight point advantage. Full results from the event are available at www.NeSmithRacing.com .

Hollingsworth Motorsports now prepares to travel to the far north this weekend, where he will enter a pair of World of Outlaws (WoO) Super Late Model events at Cedar Lake Speedway (New Richmond, Wisconsin). On Thursday night a $6,000-to-win race will be contested. Friday will see the preliminary events for the 26th Annual USA Nationals held, while Saturday’s program will include b-mains as well as the $50,000-to-win, 100 lap finale. Ronny Lee’s trip has been made possible by the FANS Fund, where fans donated money to vote to have Hollingsworth, and a host of other drivers attend the mega-event.
