MELANIE'S NEW DO
Sat, 2007-02-10 10:17
Two-time winner Melanie Troxel is
sporting a new look this season, and not just the Vietnam Veterans/POW-MIA paint scheme
of her Skull Gear/Torco Racing Fuels dragster. Gone is her shoulder-length air
in favor of the short-and-sassy look. "For many years I've thought about cutting
my hair short," Troxel said. "I was always just too chicken to do it. But I
decided I was going to do it over the winter and I went out and did it. It was
time for a change to do something different."
It's not the only change for Troxel, who has moved over from Don Schumacher
Racing to partner up with Lucas Oil driver Morgan Lucas. But she's hoping to
continue the success from last season that saw her finish a solid fourth in
points.
"We're just hope to continue what we've done," Troxel said. "We have a new
look on the car. We have a lot of new stuff going on, but at the same time, we
have the same crew. I think that continuity is going to really help us maintain
the same performance we've had the past two years."
