John Hall took his first win against the Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson team when he cut a great light to beat Andrew Hines in Round 2 eliminations.

AMERICUS, Ga. - For the second time this season, rookie John Hall took his Sovereign-Star Racing team to the semifinal round of a National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) national event.

This past weekend's race at the Big O Tires NHRA Nationals at The Strip in Las Vegas marked Hall's and teammate Scotty Pollacheck's 15th Pro Stock Motorcycle appearance at an NHRA national event since they began the season with the Sovereign-Star Racing team.

With only one race left to go, these rookies have already set career and team records, made semifinal round appearances and were both nominated for the 2012 Automobile Club of Southern California Road to the Future Award given to rookies of the sport. Pollacheck is also currently in the Full Throttle Countdown to the Championship and has qualified at every race this season.
