ROANOKE'S HOLLEY HONORED BY PGA

Holley, who served as head professional at Roanoke Country Club from 1969-1991, received the award Friday night in Columbia, Md.

The award is given each year to honor the working professional whose contributions to the game best exemplify the complete PGA golf professional. Holley has been a member of the Middle Atlantic section for 29 years. He served as the section's president the past two years.

At least eight current and former track champions will be in the field for the 200-lap Late Model feature race of today's Thunder Road 500 at Franklin County Speedway.

Drivers who have entered include former FCS champions Tim McGuire, Dickie Wilson, Ronnie Newman, Frankie Pennington and Bobby Radford, as well as this year's champion, Dudley Lawhorn. Former New River Valley Speedway champion Ronnie Thomas and former South Boston champ Danny Willis also will be racing at the Callaway track. More than 30 Late Model drivers are expected to compete for the $3,000 first prize.

The schedule also features Street Stock, Pure Stock, Mini Stock, Rookie and Any Car racing, and action begins at 3 p.m.
