SMOKE & ICE
NHRA Top Fuel driver Leah Pritchett rolls out of a burnout in her Sparkling Ice “Black Raspberry”
dragster before taking down teammate and three-time Top Fuel world champion Antron Brown in
a 3.707-to-3.733 decision in the opening round of eliminations at the Winternationals. Pritchett,
racing in her third full season with Don Schumacher Racing, is chasing a Top Fuel world title to go
with her two NHRA Division 7 Jr. Dragster championships, 2010 NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Series
Nostalgia Funny Car title and 2018 SAM Tech Factory Stock Showdown season title.
