NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

NHRA Top Fuel racer Krista Baldwin heads into the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals with new partners in Zurn Elkay and Mainline Sales Inc. 

Zurn Elkay provides drinking water solutions with bottle-filling stations and is represented by Mainline Sales Inc., a full-service, manufacturer’s representative serving the plumbing, mechanical, fire protection, industrial, irrigation, and waterworks markets. With a cool white and blue flair to Baldwin’s cheetah machine, she looks forward to continuing the success from Las Vegas, where Spencer Massey piloted the McLeod Racing Top Fuel dragster to multiple low 3.7-second runs. 

In conjunction with Paul Lee’s team, Baldwin has witnessed the magic of the pitside business-to-business model that has been implemented across both McLeod Racing teams. Mainline Sales hosts multiple clients’ brands at the track. Bringing this deal together for Baldwin results from hard work and opportunity. 
 
“Mainline Sales is truly grateful for our ongoing business relationship with Zurn Elkay,” said Alicia Sylvester, Mainline Sales marketing lead. “Their commitment to innovation, quality, and collaboration, across all verticals, has made a lasting impact, and we look forward to many more years of shared success. Thank you, Zurn Elkay, for your trust in us!” 
 
With a new sponsor, a fast-running hot rod, and a great crew, Baldwin believes this weekend will be a perfect ending for the 2024 season. 
 
“I have always said that making a pass in a Top Fuel dragster is like a giant puzzle,” said Baldwin. “Each piece must be in its place to make a complete puzzle. With Zurn Elkay and Mainline, the funding part is here. With Massey taking the McLeod dragster for a spin last week and clocking in a 3.72, the performance is here. Now, it’s up to me as a driver to complete the puzzle to make this weekend a success. And not to mention, I get to do this at my hometown track. I’m ready for this.”
