David Breazeale Tames The Black Ice For PRO Series Win

Columbus, Mississippi (07/04/10) – It’s no secret that David Breazeale is not very fond of Magnolia Motor Speedway, mainly because the facility has never treated him very well. However, on Sunday night in Round #4 of the Four Crown Nationals, Breazeale conquered the “Black Ice” and overcame a bit of controversy to claim the $2,000 payday.

A series high turnout of 46 Super Models entered the event, which was co-sanctioned by the PRO Dirt Car Series and NeSmith Super Dirt Car Series. For the fourth straight night, Bub McCool powered his entry to the Southern Belle Pole Qualifier Award, but it did not come easily as a broken powerplant in hot laps forced him to unload his backup car for time trials. He would be unphased as he was the only driver in the 14 second bracket in qualifications.

Starting alongside McCool on the front row for the feature event was Chad Thrash, and it would be Thrash, who led the field into turn one on the first lap. Behind Thrash, furious battles waged through the field with Bub McCool, Ronny Lee Hollingsworth, Brian Rickman, and Kyle Beard in tow.

Thrash would quickly jump out to a straight away advantage, and would maintain it until he entered lapped traffic on the eighth circuit. As he began to battle traffic over the next few laps, which was two and three wide in front of him, Thrash’s lead began to dwindle. Lap 15, would see David Breazeale making a pair of daring moves in the middle of the track to move past Rickman, Hollingsworth, and McCool as he assumed the second position. Two laps later the event’s first caution flag would wave as Steve Bryan slowed down the backstretch.

At the time of the caution the top five running order consisted of Thrash, Breazeale, McCool, Brian Rickman, and Hollingsworth. The ensuing restart would see the top running order remain the same before the caution waived again on lap 21 for Kenny Merchant, who slowed in turn three, and then again on lap 24 for a melee involving Jeremy Shaw, Klint Byars, and Ray Mauldin in turn two.

As the field prepared to come back to the green flag for the final time the front runners became bunched together, and Breazeale raced past Thrash to take over the lead, and exiting turn two Thrash pushed up the track allowing Hollingsworth to slip by as well.

Breazeale would drive away from the field over the remainder of the event to claim his fourth PRO Dirt Car Series win of 2010, and his second Four Crown Nationals triumph. Chad Thrash showed his disapproval of the happenings of the late race restart, feeling that the second place car jumped the start. As a result, Thrash asked for an explanation on the front stretch after the race. Series officials maintained the decision on the event’s final restart much to Thrash’s dismay.

Ronny Lee Hollingsworth, Chad Thrash, Bub McCool, and Ray Moore rounded out the top five in the final running order.

Clay Fisher received the GRT Race Cars Hard Luck Award after qualifying for the main event, but being forced to scratch with a broken valve spring.

The Four Crown Nationals point’s championship will be determined when the Round #1 feature from Greenville Speedway is completed on Friday, August 13th. David Breazeale currently leads the mini-series standings.

The PRO Dirt Car Series will take a month off before returning to action on August 13th-14th at Greenville Speedway in Greenville, Mississippi. On Friday, August 13th the postponed feature for the Four Crown Nationals rainout will be held, and on Saturday, August 14th the Topless 40 will be held, which will be highlighted by a $3,000 to win/$300 to start feature.

Bub McCool Claims First Career PRO Series Win

(Meridian, Mississippi) – Bub McCool overcame a furious midrace challenge from Jimbo McDuffie and David Breazeale to claim the $2,000 win in Round #3 of the Four Crown Nationals at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, Mississippi.

A stout field of thirty-seven Super Late Models assembled at Rodney Wing’s Whynot Motorsports Park for Round #3 of the Four Crown Nationals. For the third straight night, Bub McCool blazed to the Southern Belle Pole Qualifier Award. He was joined on the front row by Jason Cliburn.

It was McCool, who got a great jump at the start of the race to lead the first lap over Cliburn, Ronny Lee Hollingsworth, Jimbo McDuffie, and Chad Thrash. As McCool jumped to the early lead Hollingsworth and McDuffie began to battle side by side for the second spot as various two and three wide battles reigned supreme through the field.

By lap three Cliburn disposed of Hollingsworth in the battle for the second spot as he found himself ten car lengths behind the leader. With McCool maintaining the lead, the first several laps would see great racing throughout the field, and by lap 8, McCool was already entering lapped traffic.

With the leaders working lapped traffic, it was David Breazeale, who was on the move, and by the time that the event’s lone caution flew on lap 15 as Bradley Price rolled to a stop in turn three. The caution eliminated McCool’s large lead with Cliburn, McDuffie, Hollingsworth, and Breazeale making up the top five in the running order.

Total chaos would ensue on the restart as the field flared three and even four wide for position with the green flag in the air. McDuffie raced past Cliburn for second as Cliburn began to fade. With McCool on the hub and McDuffie on the cushion the duo raced furiously for the lead as Breazeale raced his way into the third position and joined the battle for the lead. Two laps later on the seventeenth circuit, McDuffie overtook McCool for the lead, and one lap later Breazeale would rocket to the second spot past McCool.

Despite slipping to third, Bub McCool would stay committed to the bottom, and on lap 22 he would race past Breazeale and McDuffie to return to the lead. He would never relinquish it as he went on to lead the remaining laps en route to his first win of the 2010 season in his #57J Victory Circle Chassis. Breazeale, Hollingsworth, Chad Thrash, and McDuffie rounded out the top five.

Round #4 of the Four Crown Nationals will be held on Sunday, July 4^th at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi. For more information, please visit www.MagnoliaMotorSpeedway.net, www.PRODirtcarSeries.com, and www.NeSmithRacing.com .

David Breazeale Rides To PRO Tour Win in Four Crown Nationals Second Round

Winona, Mississippi (07/02/10) – David Breazeale from Four Corners, Mississippi powered his #54 Henderson Motorsports Mastersbilt to his third PRO Dirt Car Series Super Late Model win of the 2010 season on Friday night at Central Mississippi Speedway in Winona, Mississippi in Round #2 of the Four Crown Nationals.

Thirty-one Super Late Models converged on the 1/3 mile, Central Mississippi Speedway on Friday night for the second round of the Four Crown Nationals, which is being co-sanctioned by the PRO Dirt Car Super Late Model Series and the Nesmith Super Dirt Car Super Late Model Series.

In Southern Belle Pole Qualifying it was déjà vu as Bub McCool blazed to the fast time with Kyle Beard joining him on the front row for the 40 lap feature after setting fast time in his own group. As the race went green, Beard jumped to the lead with McCool, third starting Breazeale, and Dean Carpenter in pursuit. Just one lap would be completed before the caution flag flew for Ray Moore, who made solid contact with an infield tire in turn two. Moore would keep rolling, but the caution would fly as several cars checked up to avoid him, and as a result Moore would be credited with the caution and sent to the tail of the field with heavy body damage.

On the ensuing restart, Beard would find himself under fire from McCool and Breazeale for the top spot as the second and third place runners began to stage a furious battle for the runner-up spot.

Lap 4 would see back-to-back cautions wave as first debris in turn one drew the yellow flag, and then on the next restart, Bo Gordon would get spun in turns three and four bringing his night to a disappointing early end.

The third attempt to vacate lap 4 would be successful as Beard maintained a narrow advantage with McCool and Breazeale swapping the second spot on almost a lap-by-lap basis. The race would begin to endure a long green flag run and by lap 11 the leaders were entering heavy lapped traffic as Breazeale moved to second and set his sights on the leader. Exiting turn four on the fourteenth circuit, Breazeale would utilize a lap car to work his way past Beard for the lead.

The next several laps would go caution free until lap 30, when the yellow was displayed for Mark Dodson, who spun in turn three. The field lined up for a ten lap dash to the checkers with Breazeale, Beard, McCool, Carpenter, and Klint Byars making up the running order in the top five. As the race restarted for the final time, Breazeale drove away from the pack in the final laps and claimed the $2,000 payday over Kyle Beard, Bub McCool, Dean Carpenter, and Jeff White.

Round #3 of the Four Crown Nationals will be held on Saturday, July 3^rd at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, Mississippi before the finale is held on Sunday, July 4^th at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi.

David Breazeale Masters 1^st Annual Jerry Inmon Classic

Winona, Mississippi (06/04/10) – David Breazeale navigated lapped traffic masterfully to claim the win in the 1^st Annual Jerry Inmon Classic on Friday night at Central Mississippi Speedway in Winona, Mississippi.

The $2,000 to win, 40 lap affair drew a field of twenty-two Super Late Models, and was co-sanctioned by the P.R.O. Dirt Car Series and the NeSmith Super Dirt Car Super Late Model Series. After being the only driver to crack the thirteen second bracket in time trials, David Breazeale was the Southern Belle Pole Qualifier and was joined on the front row for the feature by Klint Byars from Carrolton, Mississippi.

As the green flag flew on the event, Breazeale blasted into turn one with Byars, Tombo Callahan, Dean Carpenter, and Rick Rickman in pursuit. As Breazeale motored away from the field early in the event, a great three wide battle was being hosted for the second spot between Byars, Callahan, and Carpenter. Byars would clear the battle by lap four as Carpenter moved past Callahan to take the forth spot.

Lap six would see Breazeale already catching the lap traffic. Seventh starting, Anthony Burroughs, was making noise by lap 10, when he moved up to the fourth position and began to provide heavy pressure to Carpenter for third. As Carpenter and Burroughs began to catch Byars for the second spot, and lap 14 would see Byars jump the cushion exiting turn two and narrowly escape heavy contact with the wall. Despite not slamming into the wall, Byars would slip back to fifth.

The event’s first caution would wave on lap 20 for Brian Rickman, who slowed down the front stretch. At the time of the caution the top five running order consisted of Breazeale, Carpenter, Burroughs, Byars, and Rick Rickman. However, under the caution Byars would begin to experience over-heating problems and was forced to retire pitside.

The ensuing restart would find Burroughs race past Carpenter for the second spot. Two laps later the caution would wave again as Chase Washington slowed down the front stretch. The field would return to green after the brief caution period, but would be slowed again on lap 23 as Jay Burchfield and Ray Mauldin made contact down the front stretch.

The next restart would prove to be the final one of the night as Breazeale once again drove away from the start as Carpenter retook the second position from Burroughs. The running order in the top five would remain the same for the rest of the event as David Breazeale claimed his second tour triumph of 2010 with Carpenter, Burroughs, Rickman, and Wade Byars rounding out the top five.

Klint Byars was the recipient of the GRT Race Cars Hard Luck Award after being forced to relinquish his fourth position at the race’s midway point with overheating problems.

Shane Stephens was the recipient of the American Race Tires Hard Charger Award for advancing more positions (10) than any other driver in the main event.

Rick Rickman Conquers Whynot For First PRO Late Model Series Win

Meridian, Mississippi (05/29/10) – Rick Rickman raced to his biggest win of the 2010 season on Saturday night at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, Mississippi as he conquered the P.R.O. Dirt Car Series and the NeSmith Super Dirt Car co-sanctioned event.

Despite threatening skies, a stellar field of thirty-five Super Late Models entered the $2,000 to win event at the Rodney Wing owned facility. Jason Cliburn registered the fastest qualifying lap in time trials to pick up the Southern Belle Pole Position for the 40 lap feature. Cliburn was joined by Klint Byars on the front row for the feature event.

It was Cliburn, who got the jump at the drop of the green flag with Byars, Brian Rickman, and Rick Rickman in tow. Early in the event Cliburn and Brian Rickman would swap the lead before Rick Rickman joined the fray and made a daring slide job on his brother, Brian, to take over the top spot. Rick Rickman would never relinquish it.

Rick Rickman took the $2,000 win with tenth starting, Dane Dacus finishing second. A last lap melee shook up the final rundown with 5^th running Brian Rickman getting the worst of the accident as his car was crippled in turn three coming to the checkered flag. The balance of the top five at the finish line consisted of Jason Cliburn, David Breazeale, and Klint Byars.

Brian Rickman was the recipient of the GRT Race Cars Hard Luck Award after running in the top five for the duration of the event only to be caught in a melee in the final corner on the final lap.

Dane Dacus was the recipient of the American Race Tires Hard Charger Award for advancing more positions (8) than any other driver in the main event.

The P.R.O. Dirt Car Series and NeSmith Super Dirt Car Series were scheduled to be in action on Sunday, May 30^th, but heavy early morning rains forced the cancellation of the event.

The P.R.O.

David Breazeale Rages To First PRO Late Model Series Win at Corinth

Corinth, Mississippi (05/22/10) – After a three year absence, Super Late Models returned to Corinth Speedway in Corinth, Mississippi on Saturday as the P.R.O. Dirt Car Series and the NeSmith Super Dirt Car tours went head-to-head.

Anthony Burroughs started the evening's festivities by blazing to the fastest time around the clay oval to earn the Southern Belle Pole Qualifier Award. He was flanked to his outside by David Breazeale as the deadly duo brought the field to the green flag.

Breazeale would maintain a slim advantage during the race's early stages as Burroughs and Dacus would apply heavy pressure to the leader with the trio battling at times three wide for the lead.

Near the race's midway point, Dacus would overtake Breazeale for the lead, but a few laps later the Lakeland, Tennessee driver would take his #54 GRT pitside with overheating issues. Breazeale would never relinquish the lead again as he went on to take the $2,000 win, which was his first win with the P.R.O. tour.

Anthony Burroughs, Chris Ragan (utilizing a crate engine), Rick Rickman, and Joey Mack rounded out the top five.

Kyle Beard received the GRT Race Cars Hard Luck Award after having a mechanical failure on the white flag lap, while battling in the top five. He would drop to a tenth place finish.

Brett Delk was the recipient of the American Race Tires Hard Charger Award for advancing more positions (8) than any other driver in the main event.

The P.R.O. Dirt Car Series will return to action over the course of the Memorial Day weekend with a pair of events.

Josh Putnam Prowls On P.R.O. Foes At North Alabama

Columbus, Mississippi (03/20/10) – Josh “Pedal To The Metal” Putnam battled past an overheating engine and a stout field of competitors to claim the $2,500 prize on Saturday night at North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Alabama, in an event that was co-sanctioned by the P.R.O. Dirt Car Super Late Model Series and the NeSmith Super Dirt Car Super Late Model Series.

Twenty-six entries converged on the ¼ mile oval, which is appropriately tabbed “Alabama’s Action Track”. In Southern Belle qualifying, Josh Putnam of Killen, Alabama blazed to fast time with a lap of 13.393 seconds around the clay oval in his #212 Pierce Race Car/Performance Connection Racing Engine Super Late Model, which was over ten tenths of a second faster than his nearest competitor. He was joined on the front row for the 40 lap feature by Brian Rickman of Columbus, Mississippi in his #WFO Mastersbilt.

As the event got underway Putnam and Rickman battled side by side for the lead with Rickman narrowly leading the first lap over Putnam, Rick Rickman, Kyle Beard, and David Breazeale.

As the field battled two and three wide around the clay oval, the caution flag would wave on the second circuit for debris on the track. On the ensuing restart, Rick Rickman drove past Putnam for the second position. The field would only complete one lap before the caution flag flew again for a spinning Jeremy Glasgow, who had a tire going flat.

At the time of the caution the top five running order consisted of Brian Rickman, Rick Rickman, Josh Putnam, David Breazeale, and Kyle Beard.

Over the next few laps the field would endure a few cautions for various spins before finally hitting a long green flag run that included Josh Putnam using the high groove to rocket past the Rickman brothers to move from the third spot to the lead on the seventh circuit. Things would not be coming easy for Putnam though as his car began to show evidence of smoke with an overheating engine by lap 10.

With Putnam out front, Brian and Rick Rickman battled side by side for the second position for a few laps before David Breazeale joined the fray on lap 12, and ultimately moved past Brian Rickman for the third spot a few laps later. As the field approached the midway point, the leaders were closing in on lapped traffic, as several drivers had begun to work their way to the front, which included 16^th starting Eric Cooley, who was up to the 9^th position at lap 20.

Caution flew again on lap 23, and near-disaster struck for the leader, Putnam, as his over-heating car stalled on the front straightaway during the caution period. Putnam was finally able to get his car back rolling again as he assumed the lead ahead of Rick Rickman, Breazeale, Brian Rickman, and Ronnie Johnson.

As the race went green for the final time, Breazeale raced past Rick Rickman for second and set his sights on the leader. Breazeale would chase Putnam through the cushion and lapped traffic for the remainder of the race, but was unable to catch the leader.

Putnam claimed his first win of the season over Breazeale, Rick Rickman, Ronnie Johnson, and Anthony Burroughs.

In victory lane an emotional Putnam thanked his crew, sponsors, and fans, who have supported his career. He went on to say that “with the direction that his program is headed now that he feels that there will be more wins to come in 2010!”

Eric Cooley powered his #33c Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/525 Spec Motor Super Late Model to the American Race Tires Hard Charger Award after advancing from his 16th starting position to a 6th place finish.

Josh Putnam was the recipient of the Hoosier Race Tires Top Performer Award for his win.

Chris Wall Claims Wild P.R.O. Series Opener

Columbus, Mississippi (03/13/10) – “The Intimagator” Chris Wall from Holden, Louisiana rocketed his way to the $2,000 victory in the wildly exciting debut of the Promoters Racing Organization (P.R.O.) Super Late Model Dirt Car Series on Saturday night at Columbus Speedway.

Thirty-Eight Super Late Models, representing six states entered the event at the 1/3 mile, high-banked oval. Columbus Speedway is tabbed the “Baddest Bullring in the South,” and on Saturday night it once again validated its name in an event that saw several different leaders along with three and four wide racing throughout the night.

Bub McCool from Vicksburg, Mississippi started the evening’s festivities by setting fast time around the clay oval to earn the Southern Belle Pole Position for the 40 lap feature. McCool was joined on the front row for the main event by Ronnie Lee Hollingsworth from Northport, Alabama. As the feature went green, Bub McCool blasted to the lead with Hollingsworth, Billy Moyer Jr., William Thomas, and Klint Byars in tow.

During the opening rounds the top three cars would battle three wide for the lead with McCool maintaining a slim advantage. By the third lap, Hollingsworth was applying heavy pressure to McCool for the lead, and the duo would swap the lead several times over the next few laps as McCool worked the extreme highside of the track with Hollingsworth working the middle of the track. Entering turn one on lap 7, McCool would make a daring move in lapped traffic, which sent him skating toward the wall. He would recover, but not before Hollingsworth bolted to the lead.

By lap 10, the leaders were engaged in heavy lapped traffic as 11^th starting Chris Wall cracked the top three, and began to reel in the front-runners. Five laps later, Wall would use the low-line to race past McCool for the second position.

The first caution of the event would fly on lap 20 when Dean Carpenter climbed the turn two wall. Carpenter would be able to continue as he joined the back of the pack. At the time of the caution the top five running order consisted of Hollingsworth, Wall, McCool, David Breazeale, and William Thomas.

On the ensuing double file restart, Bub used the highside to rocket past Wall and Hollingsworth to take the lead as the crowd came to their feet. Four laps later, Wall would race past Hollingsworth, who had begun to fade with mechanical woes on the front of his mount. With Wall on the hub and McCool on the extreme high-side, the lead duo battled for the lead for the next four laps before Wall took the lead on lap 27. One lap later McCool would retake possession of the top spot, but his reign at the front would come to an end on lap 29, when contact with the backstretch wall bent the rearend, bringing his night to an end.

As the field prepared to restart for the final time Wall was the leader with Hollingsworth, Burroughs, Breazeale, and Thrash (started 16^th) rounding out the top five. On the restart Burroughs moved past Hollingsworth for second as Chad Thrash moved to the fourth spot. One lap later, Thrash raced past Hollingsworth for second as Wall built a straightaway lead on the field.

The remainder of the event went caution free with Wall claiming the win over Chad Thrash, Anthony Burroughs, David Breazeale, and Dane Dacus.

In victory lane, Wall thanked his crew for preparing an awesome race car, and commented “The crew did their job all night, but the driver dropped the ball in time trials, so I had to really get up on the wheel in the feature. The car was just awesome!”

Chad Thrash claimed the American Race Tires Hard Charger Award after advancing from his 16^th starting position to a 2^nd place finish.

Chris Wall was the recipient of the Hoosier Race Tires Top Performer Award for his win.

The P.R.O. Dirt Car Series will return to action with the tour’s second event at North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Alabama on Saturday, March 20^th with a $2,500 to win/$250 to start event. For more information on North Alabama Speedway, please visit www.NorthAlabamaSpeedway.com .

P.R.O. Dirt Car Series Launches Website; Releases Schedule

Columbus, MS (1/17/10) – The newly formed Promoters Racing Organization (P.R.O.) Super Late Model tour is proud to announce it’s tentative 2010 schedule as well as the launch of its brand new website at www.PRODirtCarSeries.com .

Keep On Keeping On.........Definitely a simple enough statement to most people, but for the Promoters Racing Organization (P.R.O.) Super Late Model tour it best describes the goal of its forefathers. It's no secret that over the past decade that Super Late Model racing has faced many hardships not only in the Southeast, but across the entire country. Track owners claim that they can't afford to run Super Late Models and Super Late Model drivers complain that they can't afford to run for the purses offered by the track owners. As a result, some of the top tracks in the country have gone without one of the most popular divisions, while several others that have continued to run the division are close to giving up the fight.

In the Mississippi and Alabama area, a group of four individuals, Mike Mauldin, Johnny Stokes, Rodney Wing, and Mike Vaughn have decided to do something to preserve Super Late Models in the area. Thus was born the P.R.O. Super Late Model tour, which offers Super Late Model purses that tracks can afford and that racer's can afford to fund their programs on as well. The goal of the series is to have 10-14 races in its inaugural season to allow drivers race at tracks within a reasonable proximity of their home bases. In addition, the tour simultaneously allows tracks, who haven't been able to afford to run Super Late Models to bring the division in a couple of times a year, while also allowing tracks that still run Super Late Models to be able to continue to do so.

In its first season the tour will visit North Alabama Speedway (Tuscumbia, AL), Corinth Speedway (Corinth, MS), Columbus Speedway (Columbus, MS), Greenville Speedway (Greenville, MS), Whynot Motorsports Park (Meridian, MS), Central Mississippi Speedway (Winona, MS), Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, MS), and Jackson Motor Speedway (Byram, MS) .

The 2010 season will be the inaugural campaign for the fledgling series, but the promoters hope that it is something that will thrive and continue to grow for seasons to come!

The tour will come to life with its inaugural events on March 19th-20th at North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Alabama. On Friday, March 19th, a $2,000 to win/$150 to start event will be held, while Saturday, March 20th will see a $2,500 to win/$200 to start event. If a driver can win both events, then he will claim a $500 bonus, making the opening weekend a total, possible, winner’s purse of $5,000.

More dates are to be added to the schedule in the coming weeks, but the current tentative schedule is shown below:

March 19th: North Alabama Speedway (Tuscumbia, AL)

March 20th: North Alabama Speedway (Tuscumbia, AL)

April 3rd: Central Mississippi Speedway (Winona, MS)

May 22nd: Corinth Speedway (Corinth, MS)

May 29th: Whynot Motorsports Park (Meridian, MS)

May 30th: Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, MS)

July 1st: Greenville Speedway (Greenville, MS)

July 2nd: Central Mississippi Speedway (Winona, MS)

July 3rd: Jackson Motor Speedway (Byram, MS)

July 4th: Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, MS)

August 14th: Greenville Speedway (Greenville, MS)

Competitors will also like to note that the inaugural champion for the P.R.O. tour will receive $5,000. In addition, if a driver buys a NeSmith Super Dirt Car Series membership, his best 10 finishes from the P.R.O. tour will count toward the NeSmith Super Dirt Car Series point’s fund as well, which boasts a cool $10,000 top prize. As a result, some lucky driver in the P.R.O. tour could claim $15,000 in point’s money for ten events worth of work!

Also, competitors will like to note that starting with the second event of the season for the P.R.O. tour there will be a “Winner’s Circle” payout each night, which provides the top ten drivers in points entering the event with tow money.
