Leah Pruett, Tony Stewart’s wife and a Top Fuel force, is roaring back to NHRA in 2025 after taking 2024 off to focus on starting a family. With multiple wins since her 2016 debut and a legit championship run in 2022, Pruett’s return is a massive boost for the sport. Her fierce starts and cool-headed racing style have made her a fan favorite, and with Stewart’s growing NHRA presence, their family’s all-in on drag racing’s big stage.
Fans can’t wait to see if she’ll rocket back to title contention, bringing her signature intensity to the strip. But just as Pruett’s comeback lit up the headlines, NHRA royalty Brittany Force dropped a bombshell, announcing she’s stepping away after the 2025 season, leaving a legacy of speed and a void in the sport.
