(can hisses)
(relaxed music)
- I drive a Top Fuel dragster in the NHRA.
(car engines revving)
- [Commentator] It's
gonna be Leah Pritchett!
(slow motion rumbling)
- 909, Southern California, Inland Empire.
Nice little diamond in the
rough, what I consider.
I may have a high affinity
for some rap music.
Tupac. Oh, did I hurt
some feelings right now?
("Who Shot Ya?")
(gun noise)
My dad raced land speed
cars for fun, as a hobby.
We started actually help creating the
NHRA Jr Drag Racing series.
I was the younger sister, and I want
what your older sister has.
- Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!
- And I'm like, she gets
to race, I wanna race.
Yeah, my dad used to fight people.
I'll restart that. (laughs)
I've got this beater out there,
it's a Dodge Hellcat, 2017.
(engine revs)
There is hands down, no doubt
about it that my favorite
food in the world is Papa John's pizza.
- Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza.
- If I'm not having pizza, I'm having
a bean and cheese burrito
only from Southern California.
Yep, I'll pick you up. Come on, come here.
I can pick you up. Come on. (laughter)
- [Crew] Oh my god!
(Leah laughs)
(crew laughs)
- I know what I hated,
I hated the Rugrats.
(Angelica screams)
- [Interviewer] How many
bones have you broken?
- Two, and it was at the same time.
I was doing clutch on a Nitro funny car,
and bell housing fell out, crushed my hand
and crushed my palm.
In Englishtown, it was my
very first race in Pro Mod.
I had a '69 Camaro,
blown, won first round,
I'm super excited, hit
my parachute button,
chutes don't come out.
I'm like alright, but I see
my win light, this is cool,
I'm gonna get on the brakes.
Reach for my manual parachutes,
they don't come out either.
I'm like, we're going to the sand.
Straight into the sand, car tumbles over,
back up on the net, flies back down.
This thing just got beached.
- So beached!
- 909, I'm out.
(relaxed guitar music)
