Auto racing legend Tony Stewart announced Thursday he will compete in his third season in NHRA Top Fuel competition in 2026, and in doing so will race against his wife, Leah Pruett. Stewart spent the past two seasons driving in place of Pruett, who had taken more than a year off from racing to give birth to son Dominic, the couple's first child.
In turning the seat of his Tony Stewart Racing dragster back over to Pruett, Stewart will now move to Elite Motorsports to drive for Richard Freeman, who recently purchased the team that had once been owned by Josh Hart. The team will have a marketing alliance with Tony Stewart Racing, though they still need to find funding for Stewart's car.
