She couldn't have found a better big stage with which to make her big league debut. This is how Grace Howell described her NHRA Pro Stock debut as the new driver of Jim Cunningham's Ford Mustang.

"It felt awesome," said Howell, whose previous driving experience was limited to Super Stock and Stock competition. "The car shook the tires but it was just an amazing experience just to run down the track. Being here in Indy and driving Jim Cunningham's Mustang is just an incredible experience."

After two days of qualifying at the NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, Howell has managed a best 7.354 elapsed time at 149.23, a run which came in her third attempt. Howell admits she's getting comfortable with each run.
