JUNE 14, 2007 --- Noblesville Indiana's Ron Gregory won his first PRA Big Car Series event Wednesday night, the Fox 17 150, at Berlin Raceway in Marne,Michigan. He beat Dave Darland, Brian Tyler and Ryan Newman to the checkered flag. Gregory was fast qualifier but drew the number three starting position, in the PRA's unique way of determining the first 6 starting positions. He also survived a close call on the 85th lap when he touched wheels with Brad Armstrong while battling Darland for the lead. "I just kept adjusting the car all evening", said Gregory,
"and it seemed to get better as the laps wound down." He was driving
the Hannig Construction/First Financial Bank Foxco/Beast entered by BWB Nascar Nextel Cup star Ryan Newman was late in arriving at the track and
missed qualifying so he started 17th in the 18 car field. But the South Bend,
Indiana native moved through the field quickly and was in the top 10 within 10
laps. He ran third for several laps before being passed by Tyler in the closing
circuits. The race was slowed by several caution flags for minor incidents. Next up for the Big Car Series is a visit to the famous Oswego Speedway in New York on August 10th. Keep checking www.PRARacing.com for more news and updates.
