Chris Holbrook's Incredible "Three-Wally Thursday"!...

Congratulations to Chris Holbrook and Watson Racing for producing an astonishing “hat trick” during competition at the NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville (FL). In the span of eight hours, Holbrook and his Watson Racing entries earned three records and three championships on the very first day of competition!

Holbrook opened the event by wheeling his 2014 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to the quickest and fastest performances in NHRA Stock Eliminator history, (8.519 seconds, 161.13 miles per hour), en route to winning the Factory Stock/A class title.

Holbrook followed by taking his new Watson Racing 2014 Coyote-powered, manually-shifted, black-on-red Mustang GT to the quickest elapsed times in the history of NHRA’s Super Stock Eliminator with back-to-back efforts of 7.902 and 7.900 seconds on his way to winning event honors in the SS/AA category.

Then, Holbrook returned to his silver supercharged Mustang Cobra Jet in the NHRA’s Factory Stock Showdown competition. In the semi-finals, opponent Gary Richard went into a towering wheelstand and ended up in Holbrook’s lane necessitating a brilliant driving job by Holbrook to win the round. In the Factory Stock Showdown championship round, Holbrook repeated his 2013 NHRA U.S. Nationals victory by defeating David Barton’s Dodge Challenger.

Chris Holbrook and Watson Racing scored the first-ever “Three-Wally Thursday” and the actual Gatornationals championships are still four days away! Stay tuned for results!
