said Nolin, 21.&nbsp; &ldquo;I grew up watching races and working on my father&rsquo;s cars there as a kid, and to get my first win there, especially in the Spring Green, meant a lot.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nolin joined a stout list of former Spring Green winners, including legendary drivers Bobby and Beaver Dragon, Dave Dion, Jean-Paul Cabana, Robbie Crouch, Claude Leclerc, and Junior Hanley, and modern-day stars Brian Hoar, Phil Scott, Jean-Paul Cyr, and Brent Dragon.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Brian Hoar was one of my heroes growing up, and to be in a group of winners with someone like him is a big deal to me,&rdquo; said Nolin.&nbsp; &ldquo;That kind of history makes Airborne a very special place.&nbsp; Plus, it&rsquo;s a hard track to figure out, and it&rsquo;s very rewarding to have all the pieces together to win there.&nbsp; I just hope my team and I can get it right like we did last&nbsp; year.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
