Leah Pruett wrapped up her impressive weekend with her first Top Fuel victory of the season for Tony Stewart Racing, knocking off points leader Justin Ashley in the final round on Sunday at the 17th annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals at Summit Motorsports Park.
Ashley advanced to his fifth final round—and third in a row—by defeating Clay Millican, Steve Torrence and defending world champion Brittany Force. It’s also the 16th career final for the points leader.Funny Car “I haven't won one of these in five years. I try hard because the people I compete against have made it so that you have to be better. If you don't want to get better, you're going to get beat out here. I tried to get better and I needed to get better once I started racing Funny Car.”
“We've had a great car all year long, and the races we haven't won, it's been driver error. In the final at Pomona, I had Dallas covered, I just couldn't learn how to drive. We gave up that race, and it's been a thorn in my side, so I was really glad to get this one today.” “We definitely have momentum. We've had a fast bike, and we've been qualifying really well and running well. We had a good bike in Bristol, we just had a couple little gremlins we needed to get through, but I'd rather have those earlier in the season than later.”
