LAS VEGAS (Oct. 24) – Leah Pruett has one mission heading into the Get Screened America Pro Mod Series season finale at this weekend’s 11th annual Big O Tires NHRA Nationals — keeping the season record of her ProCare Rx turbocharged Ford Mustang perfect.

The R2B2 Racing machine is a perfect 2-0 this season after wins in Indianapolis (with Eric Dillard behind the wheel) and the last Pro Mod race in Charlotte, where Pruett edged teammate Melanie Troxel in the final round.

“Keeping that winning streak alive is important to me,” Pruett said. “I’ve been trying to learn so much so quickly this year that I’ve not had much time to dwell on winning. I feel so much more comfortable now and I want to keep that streak alive.”

This weekend at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will mark just the fifth race of her Pro Mod career, and Pruett has packed a lot of experience into just a handful of races.

“There a are a couple of things I haven’t done yet in a Pro Mod car, but not many,” Pruett said. “I’ve broken through a lot of milestones of winning rounds and winning a race.”

As a driver early in her career, Pruett said she’s been thankful for the opportunity to get behind the wheel of one of the best cars on the circuit.

“I’m fortunate to have this opportunity and kind of lucky that I don’t have to worry about points this weekend,” she said. “I can just go out there, drive my best and try to get another win.”

Alongside Pruett and Troxel, R2B2 Racing team owner Roger Burgess is getting back in a race car for the first time since a July crash in Bristol, Tenn. The crew at R2B2 Race Cars have completely rebuilt the Pontiac Firebird that was damaged in the incident and Burgess is hoping to become the fourth driver on the team to get a win this season.”

Get Screened America Pro Mod Series qualifying gets under way at 11:45 a.m. PDT Friday with two sessions at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Qualifying concludes at 10:45 a.m. on Saturday with the first round of eliminations later Saturday afternoon and eliminations continuing on Sunday.
