The Mello Yello drag racing series made the short trek recently from Pomona, California to Phoenix, Arizona, home of Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park and the 33rd running of the NHRA Arizona Nationals. In Top Fuel, Leah Pritchett and her Papa John’s Pizza team picked up where they left off two weeks ago in Pomona, by capturing their second win in a row and setting a new national elapse time record during qualifying with a 3.658 elapse time. On Sunday, Pritchett motored her way through the field.
