American Marconi Wireless News - Matt Latino Heads to NHRA 4-Wide Nationals After Milestone Victory in Pomona

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / April 10, 2025 / The road to NHRA greatness continues for Matt Latino, as the promising young Pro Stock driver heads to The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the adrenaline-packed NHRA 4-Wide Nationals, part of the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series, running Friday, April 11 - Sunday, April 13, 2025. Representing the elite KB Titan Racing team and proudly sponsored by Bear Grill, Matt arrives in Las Vegas carrying the momentum of a landmark win in Pomona.

At the previous stop in Pomona, CA, Matt Latino delivered a defining performance, qualifying with an impressive 6.53-second pass at 210 mph. His qualifying effort set the stage for an unforgettable family showdown: lining up against his father, Eric Latino, in Round 1 of eliminations.

What followed was a moment that every young racer dreams of-Matt captured his first-ever NHRA Pro Stock round win, and it just happened to be against the man who inspired his journey.

"It's hard to put into words," said Matt. "Winning my first Pro Stock round is something I'll never forget, but to do it against my dad makes it even more special. He's been my mentor and hero in this sport, and to share that moment with him was incredible."
