NASCAR legend Tony Stewart announced his plans to compete for Elite Motorsports against his wife, Leah Pruett, in the Top Fuel drag racing series in 2026. Stewart’s announcement comes weeks after he said he planned to give his Tony Stewart Racing seat to Pruett, who took a year off to give birth to son Dominic. Pruett married Stewart in 2021, and was announced as the Top Fuel driver the same year for Tony Stewart Racing. Debuting in 2013, Pruett owns 18 career NHRA victories and finished third in the 2023 Top Fuel standings before her hiatus. Elite Motorsports, which maintains a marketing deal with Tony Stewart Racing, signed an agreement earlier this month to acquire Josh Hart’s Top Fuel operation.
