Leah Pruett is one of only two female drivers competing in NHRA Top Fuel. A driver for Don Schumacher Racing, Pruett has won eight Top Fuel events and has been the No. 1 qualifier a dozen times. After two races this season she is third in the Top Fuel standings. During this downtime due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pruett has focused on preparing herself for the 16 straight weeks the NHRA will have when it returns to action in August. She also has raised money for a local food bank. In this episode, Pruett explains why it's critical for a drag racer to be in top shape, both in strength and cardiovascular.
