Durst-Armendariz will compete in her white and purple Scion tC all-motor dragster in the 2007 sport compact drag racing season. She joined the ranks of drag racing’s professional drivers at the end of 2002 season, and in just two short years, earned three first place finishes in NHRA Sport Compact competition, and was named Turbo Magazine NHRA Sport Compact Rookie of the Year in 2003. During that breakthrough season, Durst-Armendariz also became the first driver in NHRA Sport Compact history to break the All Motor 10-second barrier and went on to hold the NHRA All Motor elapsed time (ET) world record with a 9.93-second run at 134.99 mph, making her the first female driver to hold a record in that series.
