Dale Hollidge Runs Race Of His Life To Score Upset Triumph In Raye Vest Memorial 50 At Winchester Speedway
Young Maryland Racer Reaches Victory Lane In First-Ever World of Outlaws Late Model Series A-Main Start
By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director
WINCHESTER, VA – Aug. 24, 2013 – Dale Hollidge lived a dream on Saturday night at Winchester Speedway.
Making the very first World of Outlaws Late Model Series A-Main start of his career, the 24-year-old driver from Mechanicsville, Md., drove to a convincing victory in the Raye Vest Memorial 50.
The $10,550 triumph completed an amazing sweep of the racing program for Hollidge, who also set fast time and won a heat race. It was also his first-ever full-blown Late Model win at the three-eighths-mile Winchester oval.
Hollidge failed to grab the lead from the pole position at the initial green flag, but he relentlessly chased D.J. Myers of Greencastle, Pa., for more than half the race before finally wrestling the top spot away on lap 39. He dominated the remainder of the distance, pulling away to score the biggest win of his career.
