This earned her an appearance in the inaugural Countdown to 4 and Countdown to 1, giving her a finish in the POWERade top five in standings. She also posted her career-best time of 6.928 seconds and a speed of 193.24 mph.
In 2008, she ran an abbreviated season, advancing to the semi-finals in Denver and finishing the season qualifying for five out of six races.〔 Llewellyn made history once again in 2010 by becoming the first woman of color to own, operate and race for an NHRA professional drag racing team, 2 Wheel Woman Racing.
