“Paul Lee and McLeod have been huge supporters of our group of female racers,” Erica Enders said. “It started with the 100 wins for females back in 2014 and has grown since then. McLeod’s support of Elite Motorsports through both of our world championships means the world to us and our program. I’m a firm believer that people and relationships you build, are the most important part of the puzzle.”
 
McLeod Racing has been a proud supporter of the Elite Motorsports program for the last four seasons.
 
“I’m excited to be part of Elite Motorsports this weekend and we always enjoy supporting Erica, Richard (Freeman), Jeg (Coughlin), and the entire Elite Motorsports team,” said Paul Lee, McLeod Racing president.

After suffering a massive heart attack on Dec. 13, 2016, Lee retired from the sport as a driver in February of 2017.
 
As for Baldwin in Vegas, she will return to the seat of Anthony Dicero’s A/Fuel dragster.

“She (Krista) does an awesome job here at McLeod as our Creative Director, and has earned her way in NHRA,” Lee said. “McLeod is also proud to support her A/Fuel Dragster this weekend and as she continues her dreams in NHRA Drag Racing.”

Baldwin is upbeat about what she can accomplish in Vegas.

“It’s been a while since I have been in the seat, but I am ready,” Baldwin said. “It’s an honor to be a part of the McLeod Girls Weekend with Erica. It’s going to be a lot of fun and I hope to share the winner’s circle with her.”
