Tony Stewart Racing Drivers Unveil Exciting New Dodge Livery Ahead of NHRA Season

A Sneak Peek at Tony Stewart Racing’s New Dodge Livery

The excitement in the air is palpable as NHRA drivers Leah Pruett and Matt Hagan of Tony Stewart Racing gear up for the 2026 season. With the NHRA Gatornationals just around the corner—set to take place from March 5 to 8 in Gainesville, Florida—the duo has decided to unveil a sneak peek of their stunning new Dodge race car graphics. As they prepare to take the strip, fans are eager to see how these fresh designs will perform on the track.

Leah Pruett, the remarkable 12-time NHRA Top Fuel event winner, is making her highly anticipated return to the competition after a two-year hiatus to welcome her son Dominic. “I’m incredibly excited to get back behind the wheel for the 2026 season,” expresses Pruett. “After being away, I wanted to ensure I still had the competitive spirit needed to race. The past year has shown me my determination is alive and well.” A seasoned veteran, Pruett is looking to build on her near-miss for the championship in 2023, and with her new Dodge livery, she’s ready to make a statement.

Matt Hagan, another seasoned competitor, is entering his 19th season behind the wheel of a nitro-burning Dodge Funny Car. The Virginia driver amassed an impressive 55 career wins and came close to securing his fifth NHRA Mission world championship last year. “I’ve spent my entire NHRA career driving a Dodge Funny Car, and I have every intention of taking it back to the winner’s circle. We’re in it to compete, and I’m particularly grateful for the support from our sponsors,” Hagan states.

Both drivers are under the tutelage of Tony Stewart, a motorsport legend himself, who not only owns the team but also has competed in various motorsport disciplines, including NASCAR and IndyCar. Stewart successfully filled in for Pruett during her absence and will be making his comeback to the Top Fuel class in 2026, driving for Elite Motorsports.

As the NHRA Gatornationals approach, Pruett and Hagan’s enthusiasm is matched by fans who are eager to see the new graphics in action. The design team has ensured that the new Dodge livery embodies the power and performance that both drivers represent. Hagan emphasizes, “With every season, we strive for excellence, and our new graphics are just the beginning. We’re ready to hit the ground running.”

Race Weekend Schedule:

- Qualifying Runs: March 6 & 7
