    Hollingsworth Wins First Career PRO Event at Whynot

    Whynot, Mississippi (07/02/11) – The PRO Dirt Car Series hosted the second round of the annual Three Crown Nationals, and it was Ronny Lee Hollingsworth, who rocketed to the $2,000 payday.

    Ronny Lee Hollingsworth started the night by topping Southern Belle Qualifier Pole Qualifying by setting a new track record with a 12.667 second lap around the 1/3 mile oval.(not a nice word)Via his performance he started on the pole for the 40 lap main event with previous track record holder, Klint Byars, joining him on the front row.

    As the race went green it was an all-out war at the front of the pack with Hollingsworth and Byars throwing slide jobs at one another as Hollingsworth led the first lap with Byars, Scott Creel, Eric Cooley, and Chad Thrash in tow.

    The event’s lone caution would fly on lap 8 as heartbreak would strike for fourth place runner and series’ points leader, Eric Cooley, as he lost his right rear tire and wheel.(not a nice word)At the time of the caution the top five in the running order consisted of Hollingsworth, Byars, Creel, Thrash, and Steve Bryan.

    On the restart Hollingsworth would stretch his advantage with Byars and Creel contesting a high speed, side-by-side battle for the second spot.(not a nice word)Byars would dispose of Creel after five laps as he set his sights on Hollingsworth.(not a nice word)The top two cars would encounter lapped traffic by lap 15, and over the remainder of the event the duo would execute breath-taking slide jobs through traffic as they battled for the lead.(not a nice word)

    Byars would keep touch with Hollingsworth, but would be unable to catch him to make the pass as Hollingsworth earned his first career PRO Dirt Car Series win, which came over Byars, David Breazeale (started 11th), Chad Thrash, and Rodney Wing.

    The RacingJunk.com first qualifier was won by Brian Rickman, while Neil Baggett won the MSRMafia.com second qualifier.

    The Three Crown Nationals will conclude on Sunday night at Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) with a $2,000 to win/$150 to start event.(not a nice word)For more information, please visit www.MagnoliaDirt.com and www.ProDirtCarSeries.com .
