Pritchett’s dragster to carry Mopar Dodge 1320 Graphics again in Reading
Leah Pritchett’s Top Fueler will once again feature special Angry Bee graphics, a callout to the new Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320, at her sponsor’s title event, the Dodge NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway, Sept. 13-16
Pritchett debuted the 1320-themed livery on her Top Fuel dragster at the Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals in July, where she helped to announce the new street-to-strip Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 drag car. Pritchett raced her Top Fuel car, which features a modern tweak of the legendary Dodge Super Bee logo, all the way to the event win at Denver. The Don Schumacher Racing (DSR) driver hopes to repeat that result at the Dodge NHRA Nationals, which kicks off the six-race NHRA Countdown to the Championship playoffs.
Said Pritchett, “I’m glad to be back in the ‘Bee.’ We received a ton of positive feedback when we carried those graphics in Denver. It’s a really cool look, and hopefully we can end our weekend at the Dodge NHRA Nationals in winner’s circle and give Dodge two wins in the two NHRA National events that the brand sponsors.”
“We are proud to celebrate our role as title sponsor of the Dodge NHRA Nationals during a season in which the Dodge brand has deepened its commitment to the NHRA and its fans,” said Steve Beahm, Head of Passenger Cars, Dodge//SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA North America. “We look forward to cheering on Leah in her ‘Angry Bee’ graphics, which call attention to the Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 built and geared for grassroots Sportsman racers.”
This season marks the third with Dodge as title sponsor of the Dodge NHRA Nationals. The brand also served as primary sponsor of the Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals in Denver and the NHRA Dodge Hemi Challenge in Indianapolis earlier this year.
