Vincent_NobileThe Mountain View Racing team scored its first-ever NHRA Pro Stock victory on Sunday, May 1st winning the O'Reilly Auto Parts Spring Nationals in Houston, Texas. Here are the details from NHRA.com:

Rookie driver Nobile used a near-perfect reaction time of .007 of a second to earn his first Pro Stock victory. Nobile, 19, became the youngest driver to win in the history of NHRA's 41-year-old factory hot rod category when his Mountain View Dodge Avenger finished in 6.625 seconds at 209.72 mph to edge local favorite Rodger Brogdon, of nearby Tomball, Texas, who posted a quicker but losing 6.624 at 208.78 in his Racers Edge Pontiac GXP.

“It was close. I didn’t even know who won at the stripe,” said Nobile, who also defeated Kurt Johnson, Jason Line, and Greg Stanfield en route to his second career final-round appearance (Nobile was also one of the final-four drivers in Charlotte, but he finished fourth in the title round, registering it as a semifinal). “Then everyone was screaming in my ear that we won. It was incredible. It’s crazy how competitive Pro Stock is. Every driver is great out here. There are no easy rounds. I race with a bunch of great people. We are definitely living on a high right now.”
