Answer:

They arrive at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Alison spends 3 seconds to cover the last 1/4, it means that in 12 seconds will cover the four quarters because the acceleration is constant.

On the other hand Kevin spends 4 seconds to cover the last 1/3 of the distance, it  means that in 12 seconds will cover three thrds.

Finally we can conclude that both of them spend the same time to cover the drag race.
