COMMERCE, Ga. -- Leah Pritchett collected her first Top Fuel victory of the season Sunday in the NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway.
Pritchett drove her FireAde dragster to a pass of 3.874-seconds at 322.42 mph during the final round of eliminations to defeat Blake Alexander. It was her first victory at Atlanta Raceway and sixth overall. Pritchett is the first of Don Schumacher Racing's Top Fuel drivers to win this season.
"We were racing one round at a time," Prichett said. "The conditions out there were varying all weekend long and that's why my hats and kudos go off to (crew chief) Todd Okuhara for finding what was right and wrong and adjusting to it.
