Holly Resigns from ppc Racing

Mooresville, NC - Greg Pollex, owner of ppc Racing, announced yesterday that Harold Holly, Crew Chief for the No. 10 Nestlé Nesquik Ford Taurus in the Busch Series, is resigning effective immediately to pursue Winston Cup opportunities. A replacement has not been named.

Pollex along with co-owner Keith Barnwell are looking to the future of ppc and working towards a common goal they have become known for-winning races.

"We do not have a replacement for Harold yet," said Pollex. "The No.10 team has 15 wins under Harold's guidance and will continue to win races. Keith is in the process of reviewing our options and talking with some very strong candidates. We want to make sure we choose the right person for the team."

Pollex and Barnwell support Holly's decision to pursue Winston Cup opportunities.

"I wish Harold the best," said Pollex. "I have a tremendous personal relationship with Harold. I have always encouraged my guys to pursue advancement in their careers if the opportunity presented itself. Harold is in pursuit of those opportunities and I am sure he will make the best of it."

"Harold was an integral part of ppc Racing," said Barnwell. "He has tremendous talent and will be an asset to any team. We have all cultivated great friendships with Harold that will continue."
