Leah Pritchett will be gunning for her third Top Fuel win in the last four years at the Magic Dry Organic Absorbent NHRA Arizona Nationals when she takes on low qualifier Billy Torrence in the final round.

Pritchett’s good-looking Mopar SRT/Pennzoil dragster defeated her teammate, three-time world champ Antron Brown, in a side-by-side 3.7-second duel in their half of the semifinals but her 3.721 won’t have lane choice against Torrence.

Torrence powered to a 3.709 to reach his second career final, besting rookie Jordan Vandergriff, whose D-A Lubricants machine went up in smoke as soon as he mashed the gas.
