Lizzy Musi is the real deal. She’s been on the cusp since the start of the season, but finally broke through with her first career win in the highly-competitive Pro Nitrous field during the recently completed PDRA U.S. Drags at Virginia Motorsports Park. Musi paced the field with a jaw-dropping 3.74-second, number-one qualifying pass and then worked her way through a murderer’s row of big-name Pro Nitrous racers to earn her winner’s circle debut. Musi sat down with DragIllustrated.com less than 48-hours removed from her big day to talk about how it felt, what it meant and what she thinks the future looks like for her racing career.
