Grace Howell will return as the driver of the Cunningham Motorsports Mustang Pro Stocker for the 2012 season. She drove in six of the last seven events in 2011.

“First, I would like to thank Jim and Gloria for giving me this opportunity,” Grace said. “Last season was a great learning experience and I’m looking forward to this season. Although we did not make it to eliminations, we improved each race, which was very important for me. Knowing you have a shot to get in gives you a lot of confidence and as competitive as Pro Stock is, you need it!”

The Cunningham Motorsports Team has been working hard in the off season looking for additional power. Owner Jim Cunningham said, “The guys in the shop have been non-stop since we left Pomona. We have found more horsepower and are excited about our upcoming test session in Florida. Grace did a great job last year and we’re excited to have her back in the seat.”

The team heads to Florida next week for additional testing before heading out west for the last test session before the Winternationals in Pomona.
