Congratulations to Grace; the opportunity to drive in Pro Stock at the biggest race of the year doesn't happen very often. This adds a bit more excitement to an always exciting race; I can hardly wait to get there!

Couldn't have happened to a nicer person and family. Best of luck to you. We will miss having you in the divisional races. Probably won't get many wheelstands from the Pro Stock like I have been able capture with you SS cars. See you in Charlotte in September.

I was at Martin MI. today and yesterday watching pre-Indy testing. Grace Howell tested today, ran 6.66 clicked off early, 197mph. I was standing right behind her on the line, very nice straight pass.

Thank you everyone for the nice comments. Grace has been really busy the last few weeks and it looks like a lot of progress has been made. She is very appreciative of the kind words from her fellow stock and super stock racers. See you at Indy!

Congrats to Grace!! Fantastic opportunity and i'm sure she will become a fan favorite. Hopefully they can find enough power to qualify and i'll be doing cartwheels if she can win the whole thing.

Hello, Bill...It has been a long, long, LONG time, sir. I've watched your daughter's progress and success over the years. Grace has done an excellent job at becoming a drag racer. It is truly "in the blood" for that young lady.

The Pro-Stock opportunity is awesome. I'm sure Grace will race with her skill, experience learned over the years...and cool head...and do very well in the class. Wishing you guys all the best at Indy and future events!

KJ Jones
