NHRA drag racer leads effort to raise funds for California fire victims

She’s “racing in” to get involved… to do something… and to help.

Leah Pritchett, NHRA Top Fuel Dragster driver for Don Schumacher Racing, has called Avon home for the past several years, but she is originally from Southern California; born and raised in Redlands. After watching the Woolsey and Camp Fires wreak havoc on her home state last month, Leah felt compelled to get involved and do something.

She has partnered with her two Don Schumacher Racing teammates who also have California roots, Jack Beckman and Ron Capps, and the three West Coast natives have curated an assortment of personal race items that are currently up for auction on DSR’s eBay page. 100% of the sale of these items will go to Direct Relief, a humanitarian aid organization whose mission is to provide health and medical supplies.

Throughout the 2018 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season, Leah and her team represented 11 different organizations, racing an unprecedented 11 different paint schemes over the course of the 24-event season. Leah has chosen to bundle and auction off all 11 crew shirts from her 11 different 2018 race car liveries. This is the perfect opportunity for the avid race fan to stock up on their favorite Leah Pritchett gear, all while benefiting a cause near and dear to the Indianapolis-based racer.  

Hurry up and get those bids in because the auction closes just after 6 p.m. EST Tuesday night.
