Experienced Trio Takes over Ownership of Holly Springs Motorsports Park

HOLLY SPRINGS, MS, USA — A new trio of owners bring a wide array of experience and a true passion for drag racing to Holly Springs Motorsports Park.

Dominic Blasco, Raymond Poirier and Jack Ludvigsen announced today the purchase of the iconic Northeast Mississippi track, which is home to the IHRA SuperSeries World Finals.

All of them have decades of experience and an undying passion for the sport. Blasco and Poirier have owned and managed race tracks for over 50 years.

Ludvigsen has been around the sport his whole life and began working at tracks for Blasco at a young age. He has learned the ins and outs of the business with a specialization in track preparation.

Track manager Jody Brooks and staff members will stay on board as they have a long history of providing a great experience for the racers.

Holly Springs has hosted the IHRA SuperSeries World Finals for the last three years. It will do so again Oct. 23-25 in an event which brings together IHRA track partner champions, division champions and winners of IHRA Sportsman Spectacular events.

It is also scheduled to host the IHRA Division 4 Team Finals on Sept. 11-14.

“It’s quite an honor to be stewards of this great facility which means so much to so many people,” Blasco said. “We want all the racers, fans and others in the community to know the strong commitment we have Holly Springs and keeping it a premier place to race.”

Conveniently located off Interstate 22, the venue features an 1/8-mile drag strip, eight staging lanes, concrete walls, guardrails and an uphill shutdown area. The track has LED lighting, an AccuTime timing system, acres of paved parking and numerous speakers throughout the facility.

There are over 100 sites with electrical hook-ups, plenty of other camping space, restrooms, showers and a concession stand with reasonably priced items.

“We’re excited to see Dom, Ray and Jack become the new owners at Holly Springs,” IHRA President Kenny Nowling said. “It’s a venue so important to us as the site of the IHRA SuperSeries World Finals. We know they will continue the tradition of making every event there special to the racers.”
