Every time I put on NHRA and I see the Dodge cars come on I get all excited... then the reality comes in...

Top Fuel
2021: currenlty 8th
2020: finished 4th
2019: dnf (no one did, thank's covid...)
2018: finished fourth
2017: finished fifth

Tuned into Bandimere to watch the Dodge teams today... Her 11k horsepower Top Fuel was leaking oil. Just my opinion, the team should be scrapped and Dodge should find a new main driver. For the factory stock, keep on keeping on.

Used Oil Analysis might be advisable.

I was disappointing what happened to her but was cool to see Haas in the Final! She did make it to the final of Factory stock but yeah they didn't show it. She lost in a close race 8.259-8.265
I would like to see them scrap Pro Stock and let Factory Stock take over as a class they show all the time. Watching a class that is all chevy with some running a mustang body is just sad. It was my favorite class in the '80's-'90's with Darrel Alderman driving a Dodge!
Not sure how you can blame her for the leak, shit happens, On the plus side Hagan won!

Yeah they went old school on that motor teardown. Would have been great if he won. What in more mad about is the dry spell for Top Fuel, time to clean house. Every race has had technical issues or some other BS… In regards to Factory Stock… Her third round run was faster… she got tree’d and lost.

I like having Leah as a driver for Dodge. I'm a Kalitta fan also and would like to see him win a championship but they are having an off year also. Can't believe they didn't take points away from Force for cheating. 10k fine is like a slap on the wrist. So happy Hagan won though!

How does a oil leak, dropping cylinders or any of the other Myriad of things that impact a top fuel run have anything to do with the driver? Other than cutting a light, the driver is just along for the ride in a top fuel dragster. One hell of a ride for sure but 99% of whether that car gets down the track is on the crew chief/tuner.

They nearly have the correct color dialed in this year! I like it.

IMO Leah, really had nothing to do with the mechanical problem on the TF unit, so she can’t be held up in the middle of the problem. I like her driving as part of the team for Dodge. The broadcast did not have the final with the Drag Pack, but I don’t see her as the winner. What happened in that race?

Leah lost a very close race in the Showdown final. About 6” at the finish line. Both of the DSR Dragpaks were much more competitive then they have been, and particularly at the extremely difficult tuning track at Denver. This was the first event that AJ (HemiTuner) was on board with the tuning.

I feel Leah lowered her standards to buddy up with Tony. And yeh yeh I know Tony this Tony that and yes he did have a good Nascar career. But and a big BUTT why did Leah buddy up with Tony? Only thing I can see is its for Tony's career relationships and of course his racing winnings but he never was a NHRA guy????? And never ever a MOPAR guy so yeh whatever I just dont see the relationship lasting.
