Staging Lanes SIDEWINDER 2.0 Ronnie Hobbs comes to a stop in his new-look Lonestar Corporation ‘17 Mustang after his burnout in the second round of Radial vs. the World competition at the U.S. Street Nationals. Hobbs’ weekend in the former Daniel Pharris Mustang started off with major electrical issues, which resulted in the Pro Line Racing Engines team assembling a brand-new engine overnight and delivering it to the track. Hobbs went on to run a career-best 3.691 in the final qualifying session. He laid down a 3.70 in the first round, then went red against Brian Markiewicz, who became the third-quickest driver in RVW history with his 3.563 at 209.20 mph.
