OWNING IT Perennial Top Alcohol Dragster championship contender Megan Meyer sits strapped into her NGK Spark Plugs/WELD Racing A/Fuel dragster while crew member Danny Pomponio prepares to make an adjustment on the nitro-injected engine. She went on to record a 5.168 at 283 mph to qualifying No. 1 in the NGK Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals field, later charging through eliminations with low 5.2-second passes and a decisive 5.19 final- round win. The second-generation driver also won the NHRA Carolina Nationals at zMAX in September, tying Ashley Force-Hood as the winningest female driver in Top Alcohol Dragster with five national event victories.
