From Leah:
Norwalk, we are ready for you to help us get on the good side of a good drag race. We left Epping, N.H. with a consistent car, and that’s what we will bring to Norwalk. Getting our program right and tight out of the box on Friday night will be key, and we are ready to unlock the potential this Mopar Dodge//SRT team has.

We were right there in the hunt until a mechanical failure took us out in the second round at our last race in Houston. Since then, our Mopar Dodge Drag Pak team has resolved that issue, and the subsequent domino effect it had. We’ve tested, and are ready for the double hitter this weekend!
