Baldwin Filters logoKrista Baldwin will begin her sophomore season of Top Alcohol Dragster at the NHRA season opener, the Circle K NHRA Winternationals, Feb. 9-12. Baldwin, who will be in the seat of Anthony Dicero’s A/Fuel dragster, welcomes a new partner, Baldwin Filters, to her racing organization for 2017. McLeod Racing will also return to support Baldwin during the season.

Baldwin Filters will make its NHRA Drag Racing debut with the 23-year-old third-generation driver. Baldwin Filters is based in Kearney, Neb., and is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of engine/mobile filtration products, manufacturing more than 5,000 different filter products that are distributed to locations all over the world.

“Krista Baldwin and her family have a long history in the racing community,” said Lisa Mills, marketing communication manager of Baldwin Filters. “Like the Baldwin family, Baldwin Filters is proud of our past, and we are excited to team up with Krista at the Circle K NHRA Winternationals.”

“I am so excited to be partnered up with a world-class company,” said Baldwin, a Southern California native. “Baldwin Filters is top-notch company, and they deserve to be on a winning car. My rookie year was great, but I know that we can improve, and we won’t stop until we get to the top. Also it’s fun to have a partner with a great last name.”

Baldwin, who will also be supported by McLeod Racing for the year, plans to make a few appearances on the NHRA tour this year.

“Paul Lee has been so supportive since I have made the move to the Top Alcohol Dragster ranks,” said Baldwin, creative director of McLeod Racing. “He is truly a mentor, and I wouldn’t be able to chase my dream without his help.”

Baldwin will have continued support from Lucas Oil, CP Carrillo, Clevite, Intravia Rock and Sand, HK’s Bar and Grill, Shelton’s Poultry, Manton Push Rods, and PXP Racewear.
