NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Over the past few seasons, Kyle Rizzoli has established himself as one of the most competitive drivers in Stock and Super Stock and he reaffirmed that in St. Louis by winning his tenth national event title. Rizzoli, who is ranked in the Top 10 in both classes, won the Stock final by driving his AA/SA ’69 Camaro past Brett Candies in the final. Both drivers left together and Candies, the son of Hall of Fame Funny Car racer Paul Candies, crossed the finish line first in his Cobra Jet Mustang, but paid the price with a 9.228 breakout on his 9.24 dial. Rizzoli’s numbers included a 9.858 on his 9.85 prediction.
