Leah Pritchett, Alexis DeJoria first women to sweep nitro classes

BRAINERD, Minn. -- Leah Pritchett won the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals on Sunday at Brainerd International Raceway for her fourth Top Fuel victory of the season.

Two days after running the quickest pass in NHRA history during qualifying, Pritchett topped Don Schumacher Racing teammate Antron Brown with a 3.682-second pass at 328.06 mph.

"Don Schumacher has given me the best team, in my opinion," Pritchett said. "We keep continuing to prove that. I really like that these numbers and their work ethic and the consistency really backs it up when I say we have the best team because we have the best hot rod.
