Living It Loud

"Melanie Johnson grew up at the drag strip, watching her dad, legendary crew chief Alan Johnson, tune his way to 13 NHRA Top Fuel Championships. Racing runs deep in her family, her late uncle Blaine Johnson was a standout in both Top Alcohol and Top Fuel, and now Melanie’s carving her own path in the sport. After a successful run in Super Comp, she’s stepping into the Top Alcohol Dragster ranks and just picked up her first win in Norwalk, Ohio. She’s got big shoes to fill, but she’s doing it her way - with grit, heart, and a love for the sport that started when she was just a kid hanging out in the race trailer."

"Melanie Johnson will be competing in her first full season of Top Alcohol Dragster in 2025. She has one of the best mentors helping her: Her Dad. He happens to be Alan Johnson, who has a few championships under his belt. We talk about growing up at the track watching her family race, her first job in motorsports, when the driving bug bit her and what she does off the track, that can help her find success behind the wheel."
