Pruett-LeDuc needed only to reach third round to earn the 2010 Hot Rod Heritage Series title. She had 47 points coming into the California Hot Rod Reunion. Pruett-LeDuc nearly missed her glory when she broke a fuel pump on Friday’s first round of qualifying. Her team brought her back as she qualified 11th and ran an ET of 5.887 in the first round. She snatched up a win in the semifinals with an ET of 5.823 at 241.41 against Lavoie’s ET of 6.036 at 202.33.

With the year-end points tallied, LeDuc won her first-ever Nostalgic Funny Car Champion in the 2010 NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Racing Series.

"I'm extremely pumped. I'm still in awe of the championship. I couldn't ask for anything better," said Pruett-LeDuc.
