“Don Schumacher has been a huge chapter in my racing career.

I’ve loved going fast my whole life - from Pro Mod to finding where I thrive in the driver’s seat of a Funny Car,” Hagan said. Went from that to sneaking cars off my dad’s lot and returning them with the transmissions nearly gone. “I got my start at 13 drag racing a four-wheeler. The 38-year-old from Christiansburg, Va., balances wrangling an 11,000-hp Funny Car down a 1,000-foot straightaway with wrangling cattle on his 3,200-acre farm. He joined DSR in 2009 and currently leads the point standings with only three races remaining. Hagan is the three-time and reigning Funny Car champion (2011, 2014, and 2020). Don’s mentoring has prepared me for this new endeavor in more ways than just on the track.” I’m forever grateful to all the individuals who I’ve been able to work alongside with at DSR. He helped me take a massive step in my career, and this opportunity with TSR affords another big step. I’ve learned a lot from him, and he’s made me a better driver. “Don Schumacher gave me an incredible chance when we teamed up back in 2016. “I’m an NHRA lifer, and nitro racing is my passion,” Pruett said.

The 33-year-old Pruett has pulled double duty for a number of years by also competing full time in the NHRA Factory Stock Showdown class, winning the title in 2018 for Don Schumacher Racing (DSR). However, the Redlands, California-native is not confined to NHRA’s top class.

She won the 2010 NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Racing Series championship in the Nostalgia Funny Car class and has spent the last eight years advancing her way through Top Fuel. Pruett is currently in her 25th consecutive season competing in NHRA, which began in the series’ Jr. It makes success that much more rewarding.” “We have good infrastructure in place, and we’re used to building things from the ground up. “I’m new to the NHRA, but I’m not new to motorsports,” Stewart said.

TSR’s NHRA and sprint car entries will operate out of its existing 25,000-square-foot facility in Brownsburg, Ind. TSR will continue its sprint car program, which is headlined by 10-time WoO champion Donny Schatz. Since its inaugural season in 2001, TSR has earned 27 owner championships - 14 in USAC, nine in the World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series, and four in the All Star Circuit of Champions TQ Midgets. I’m going to lean on their experience so we can hit the ground running in 2022.”

But I’m smart enough to know that I don’t need to be a rookie owner and a rookie driver, so I made sure to get two of the best NHRA drivers in Leah and Matt. “Beginning with Don Schumacher, I’ve probably annoyed everyone in the paddock with all the questions I’ve asked, but the more I learned about drag racing, the less I wanted to just be a spectator,” Stewart said. They are now engaged, with the couple set to be married in November after the season finale in Pomona. Stewart has been a regular at NHRA events since last year when he and Pruett began dating. But it wasn’t until I met Leah and started going to races regularly, where I saw the strategy and the preparation firsthand, that I truly understood it.” Tony ended up winning, and after taking it all in, I was hooked. Army, I got to hang out with him and Don Schumacher at the U.S. Back in 2009, when Tony Schumacher and I were both representing the U.S. “I appreciate all forms of racing, and I’ve always been intrigued about drag racing and NHRA, in particular. This is proof of that,” said Stewart, who also co-owns Stewart-Haas Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series with machine tool magnate Gene Haas. “When I retired from full-time driving, I said it wasn’t the end, but the beginning of a new chapter. The manufacturer and the team’s technical alliance associate, along with corporate partners, will be announced at a later date. His eponymous team, Tony Stewart Racing (TSR), will field two fulltime entries - one in Top Fuel for nine-time event winner Leah Pruett and one in Funny Car for 39-time event winner Matt Hagan.

The championship-winning racecar driver who has successfully transitioned to being a championship-winning team owner is joining the NHRA in 2022. After more than four decades of racing around in circles, Tony Stewart has embarked on a straight and narrow path, albeit at more than 300 mph.
