For driver Leah Pritchett, this weekend marks a major milestone, her 100th career start.
Since the age of 8, Pritchett has been behind the wheel and on the track. She’s been seeing success in the male dominated sport, winning five races since 2016 while paving the way for other women in the sport.
“Yeah it’s a woman inside the racecar, but the race car doesn’t know any different,” Pritchett said. “And those Pennzoil parts and pieces in our Mopar are doing the same job and I love to be able to stand for that.”
If you would like to see Leah drive, or any other drivers compete, you can do so all weekend starting Saturday at the zMax Dragway.
