[@SnakrGarage]

Wise words: "I'm proud of what a lot of people have done behind me to help me get here."... Awesome Leah!

[@CH-ft2lm]

I thought that statement was awesome!

[@Lazlo.]

One of my greatest inspirations. Total badass on & off the track. Can’t wait to see her win a championship 🏆

[@phillipthethird42]

Dear Leah, I just saw this video, but I've had a great deal of respect for you a long time now. It's because, me being an NHRA fan for decades, And watching you kick-ass in top fuel, is what got my respect. I'm 60, and have seen them all come and go, but very few can achieve your level. I can respect that too. You go girl! " live long and prosper."

[@weedislegal4me2]

The first time i sent Leah down my track in Vegas in a Jr. dragster, I knew she was destined for greatness. Great young lady, great family, great person. It was a pleasure watching her grow up at The Strip. Hi Leah, it's Rich.

[@brentmazur9518]

Leah has proven herself to be a winner in everything she drives. She inspires with her drive, determination and motivation. I'm proud to be a fan.

[@carlsenden8750]

Love Leah's passion and drive😎

[@jordanblahnik1035]

This Woman is a true leader… I say that because she includes not only those who have helped her along on her journey but says “US” and “WE” when talking about her performance. The TEAM is equally important to the overall mission of victory. She’s not making it all about her. Everyone involved in her success is sharing in the credits. Leah is a class act.

[@timtravasos2742]

Tough, determined and beautiful lady!

[@jeffbrooks7246]

You are awesome Leah Pritchett. Having been involved in blown alcohol racing I surely appreciate the risk you take and the dedication it takes from all of you to lay down what you folks do.

[@dmeemd7787]

When Amanda asked her if she was proud.. I loved her response, that she's proud of people that helped her get to where she is... Also, I love her optimism when asked she was worried about it I'll going away and she responds if you would have asked me a number of years ago I would have all these things in my garage, I would say you're crazy (paraphrasing) -- somebody I always root for and somebody that seems like a very awesome great and humble person. She is the epitome of what drag racing is about, intensity, humbleness, happiness and competitiveness. It's my favorite thing about going to see all the people I know that raised right used to work for. :-) great video!

[@packstevewood]

What an inspiration! Can't wait to see Leah race again at Seattle this summer if the track opens back up! Two years without any Nitro. I'm over my withdrawals. Time to get hooked again!

[@patrickbone4]

Hi Leah, I’m proud of you. And I’m proud for you. Keep digging. You are doing great.

Love these 'Driver Bio's' Shows their grit and humanity. Women especially overcome ideological barriers to become champions. Leah is clearly a 'Champion'

[@chipbilbrey5850]

Your my favorite driver!! Glad your ok after St. Louis

With hard work and determination she rose to where she's at today. I hope you get that championship you deserve ! We need more women in this sport !

@flyhound97 come on do u even watch how dam good of a driver she really is please don't be one of them guys that act like that so what if she looks good she is good at what she does, if you had a daughter you would understand how much it sucks to have men say shit like that

Love this girl she's perfect at what she does and who she is

[@stayhappy9893]

Perfect does not have an affair as she did

[@luvstonystewart]

Yeah.... I'm sure her husband, well ex husband really loved seeing THAT video of her in someone's garage, I think at pomona, and this guy is seeing how many times he can lift her in the air..... If you can find the video, unless her ex had it taken down.... You'll see her laid out flat on this guy's hands. He's supporting her with his hands one hand is supporting her back, the other hand is completely in her butt, probably why they got divorced...

[@kawai99100]

@@stayhappy9893 That is why I never idolize anyone. We are all capable of making mistakes and I always felt silly idolizing. As a race car driver, she's good. That's as far as I need to know.

Our family loves you Leah Pritchett keep on going

[@omarks]

I was there when Leah won nostalgia funny car at Famoso, the part she doesn't mention here is that she found sponsors for the car the week before the race so they could afford to run - deja vu strip club. Leah was like a knife through butter that day, really impressive. She is driven and very smart

[@billmadison2032]

By far the best and hottest female driver of this generation

[@cskvision]

Huge fan of you Leah. You’re a badass 👊

You go Leah. I'll be at Pomona to watch you become the 2018 NHRA Top Fuel Champion.

[@aakar88]

Keith Moreland Let's go ahead and push that date up a bit...

[@outlawofga]

Love this girl right here. Real championship material to say the least.

[@mbrewer57]

I came so close to having a case of the optical squirts when she was talking about her father being there when she won. Emotional moment. I ran Bonneville, El Mirage, and all of the Muroc reunions when her dad was running the Pretty Woman T-Bird. I remember Leah as a little girl at Bonneville. I wish Ron could make an effort to be there for her. That was absolutely heartbreaking.

[@Dannny_Mac]

Hi, I know it’s been a long time. Could you please tell us what happened with her Dad? Thank you very much.

[@kawai99100]

@@Dannny_Mac I would like to know also. Dad's can be a tough one.

[@toms2872]

Love it Leah

[@larrysnyder3475]

Absolutely incredible young lady. Best of luck to you and your family.

[@richman61]

she's a bad ass. good luck and GAME ON!

[@davidwoods80]

You make your own luck, and Leah was born lucky. Her dad, Ron, was at one time just another kid in a primered, over-carbed (tunnel ram on a 289) 65 Mustang cruising 'E' St. in San Bernardino, just like the rest of us. But Ron was *seriously* motivated and had THE perfect blonde girlfriend riding shotgun. Fast forward; the Mustang became an incredible show car...and then it was replaced by a Pantera, of all things, that got equal attention. By now IIRC, Ron was gaining attention from FoMoCo, and he rolled that into his Bonneville efforts while operating the best damn alignment shop in Redlands. I'm happy for Leah; as a fellow father I'm happy for Ron and Leah's mother.

[@shawnriddle3018]

She is awesome. So proud of her.

[@maltaillon]

Awesome girl, stay humble!!!!! Humility suites you!!!!!

[@jondrew55]

Drag racing is truly a sport with champions of every race and gender. Leah has always been one of my favorites.

We have a role model here.Go Leah.Thank you.

[@marcturk4410]

The way she mastered that challenger last year she will win a TF Championship !,She will!

[@recrdholdr]

I have to admit when Leah first started in Top Fuel I was kind of indifferent about her. I remember saying to a friend that "We will see what she's got". And she showed me. Proud of that girl. Yeah, she's a beautiful woman but better yet she is passionate and driven. I'm happy for her success.

She is obviously hurting. I hope they can reconcile. 🙏 He is missing out and will regret it some day.

[@valerieleduc386]

Her dad isn't there anymore, because of her own wrong doings for way too long. From disrespecting her family, her "husbands"( only married for money and sponsor taking) to her poor crew members..She's only crying about her dad for reverse psychology affect. She is a horrible person in real life..

It takes some big cannolis to get behind 12,000 HP, acceleration is like getting rear ended by semi at 100MPH !!

[@elijahrobinson2362]

She knows that she’s as good as any other driver, and also that she doesn’t have any success without her entire team getting her to the start line and then down the track. Like a pro fighter, this is definitely a TEAM sport, even though only one person is at physical risk every fight/race.

[@donnieroessling]

Thanks for the introduction. Tony’s fan base just jumped on your back Leah (SmokeQueen). I hope you can carry all of us. We’re all a bunch of old and heavy Home Depot rejects and like to drink beer and fight race car drivers we don’t like. 😀 I hope we don’t embarrass you. HAHAHA

@@breanastrickland2657 There was an Australian football player from my city who was part of the team that won the Aussie equivalent of the superbowl, and he became a local hero in the process. He had a much younger sister who had to endure being called "sister of...........". She played soccer and worked her way through to eventually become state captain, then Australian captain, she represented her country at the Olympics and World Cup, played many seasons in the US and now plays for Chelsea FC in the English Women's Super League. She is the highest profile sports female in Australia and her brother now has to endure the title of boS, brother of Sam. KZbin has a number of videos on her, Sam Kerr, if you're looking for some inspiration sometime.

[@johntotten4872]

If I had to guess? Her Dad had 2 girls and wanted a son. Maybe he did not agree with some of her life choices and instead of working it out he holds a grudge or something. Not judging but as the father of an older daughter and son I love them both and treat them both the same. I hope she and her Dad work things out, life is too fucking short to miss that time.

[@timothywaters2004]

As I was watching this vid., I had to pause to go do something, when I got back to watching, I noticed that at the 4:10 time frame it shows Leah wearing sunglasses with the brand name, "Von Zipper"! Now, here's the cool part, at least to me. As a kid in the 70s, and seeing that sun glasses brand name, it occurred/reminded me that that brand name, cannot just be, by accident. Those sunglasses must come from or in honoring the late Harvey Lembeck from the following I've copied & pasted to this comment. My learning a little about Leah Stewart and her being so influenced in the racing world, there's no way she could be randomly wearing those sunglasses and not have seen the old movies of "Beach Party" with Harvey Lembeck staring as "Eric Von Zipper.....hence the name on Leah's sunglasses"? Eric Von Zipper was one funny dude in that movie...lol! Wikipedia as follows..."Harvey Lembeck (April 15, 1923 - January 5, 1982) was an American comedic actor best remembered for his role as Cpl. Rocco Barbella on The Phil Silvers Show (a.k.a. Sgt. Bilko, a.k.a. You'll Never Get Rich) in the late 1950s, and as the stumbling, overconfident quasi-outlaw biker "ERIC VON ZIPPER" in beach party films during the 1960s. He also turned in noteworthy performances in both the stage and screen versions of Stalag 17." If only I really knew, that would be so Cool and tie into my theory of whether Leah wears that brand based on her also possibly watching and remembering that actor and his theme character?
