TSR SEASON PREVIEW: LEAH PRUETT RETURNS; MATT HAGAN LOOKS TO CONTINUE MOMENTUM

BROWNSBURG, IN – The two-car team of Tony Stewart Racing is set to kick off the 2026 Mission Foods NHRA Drag Racing Series season. Leah Pruett returns to the seat of the Top Fuel dragster after a two-year hiatus, while four-time Funny Car world champion Matt Hagan is looking to carry over momentum from a second-place finish in 2025.

Both teams were back on the drag strip February 17-20 for NHRA / Professional Racers Owners Organization (PRO) testing at Gainesville Raceway in Florida, two weeks ahead of NHRA’s 75th Anniversary season-opener.

Pruett, a 12-time NHRA national event winner, has taken back the seat of her Top Fuel dragster just 15 months after giving birth to her first child, Dominic. For ten races Pruett’s dragster will feature a Dodge livery with their historical Fratzog logo. The Fratzog, uniquely named by one of their designers, was used by Dodge on vehicles between 1962 and 1976. For the remaining races, Pruett’s livery will rotate between Mobil 1, Rinnai, Rush Truck Centers, Rayce Rudeen and American Rebel. Continue reading

First Look: Tony Stewart Racing Drivers Pruett, Hagan

Share Sneak Peek of New Dodge Livery

Auburn Hills, MI – Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) NHRA Dodge nitro drivers Leah Pruett and Matt Hagan are turning up the heat this off-season, dropping a sneak peek of their new Dodge race car graphics as they chomp at the bit to hit the strip in less than 30 days at the 2026 season-opening NHRA Gatornationals, scheduled for March 5-8 in Gainesville, Florida.

After a two-year hiatus for the birth of her and husband Tony Stewart’s son Dominic, Pruett returns to drag-racing competition with a new Dodge livery and an all-new TSR Dodge Top Fuel Dragster after the 12-time NHRA Top Fuel event winner just missed capturing the 2023 NHRA Mission Top Fuel championship.

“I’m very excited to get back in the car for the 2026 season,” said California native Pruett. “Last year, I wanted to make sure I still had a passion to race after sitting out two years. After giving birth to Dominic and then being a mom for a year, I really wasn’t sure if I had the competitive level or should I sit out another year. So, we had a handful of tests. It was really the first time I was out of a race car since I began Junior Dragsters at age 8. But I’m ready to go.”

Stewart, the motorsports legend with series titles in NASCAR, IndyCar and USAC, replaced Pruett in the TSR Dodge dragster in 2024-2025, winning two events and capturing the 2025 Top Fuel regular season points championship. Stewart, the TSR team owner, will also be competing in the Top Fuel class in 2026, driving for Elite Motorsports. Continue reading

Hagan Finishes Second in Final Funny Car Standings, Stewart Fifth in Top Fuel after NHRA World Finals Weather Cancellation

Auburn Hills, MI – Mother Nature won the final race of the 2025 NHRA Mission Drag Racing Series Sunday when constant rainstorms caused the cancellation of the In-N-Out NHRA World Finals at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds. Dodge//SRT racer Matt Hagan finished second in the final Funny Car points standings and Tony Stewart took fifth in Top Fuel points.

A record rainfall in the Southern California area from Friday to Sunday restricted the professional classes from turning a wheel at the Pomona racing surface and more storms were predicted for the next three days. After exhaustive efforts by the NHRA Safety Safari and following close consultation with safety officials, NHRA made the final decision to cancel the race weekend in Pomona, Calif.

With the final event canceled, the NHRA world champions were determined from the penultimate race two weeks ago in Las Vegas at the Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals with Doug Kalitta securing the Top Fuel title and Austin Prock taking the Funny Car crown. Continue reading
