Gumout Performance Additives today announced the sponsorship with young drag racing star Leah Pritchett and the Dote Racing Top Fuel dragster team for the 2014 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series.

With "the desire, the drive, and the determination" to excel, as Don Schumacher once put it, Leah Pruett has climbed her way to the top of the drag racing ladder, landing a ride with the Dote Racing Team and their independent Top Fuel operation that could turn some heads in 2013.

In a move that was widely anticipated, Dote Racing has announced that Leah Pruett will drive their Top Fuel dragster in the 2013 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series with a partial schedule of 13 races on the calendar.
