Dodge Extends Partnership with Tony Stewart Racing for NHRA Mission Drag Series

Dodge has announced an exciting extension of its partnership with Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) to continue its presence in the NHRA Mission Drag Racing Series. This extension builds on a successful collaboration that began in 2022 and has already yielded impressive results, including 15 NHRA national event victories and the 2023 NHRA Mission World Funny Car Championship, secured by Matt Hagan in his Direct Connection Dodge//SRT Hellcat.

The 2024 season brings some notable changes to the TSR lineup. Tony Stewart, the renowned racing icon known for his achievements in NASCAR, IndyCar, and USAC, will now be behind the wheel of the TSR Direct Connection Dodge//SRT Top Fuel car. This change comes as Stewart’s wife, Leah Pruett, steps away from driving to focus on starting a family with Stewart. Despite this shift, Pruett remains actively involved with the team and continues to contribute to TSR’s success.

Dodge’s CEO, Matt McAlear, expressed enthusiasm about the extension, highlighting the brand’s storied legacy in NHRA racing and the strong representation provided by Stewart, Hagan, and Pruett. McAlear noted that their continued partnership aligns perfectly with Dodge’s commitment to performance and motorsports excellence. 

Hagan, a four-time NHRA World Funny Car champion, has been a key figure in this partnership, contributing significantly to its success with multiple wins and setting historic records. His long-standing association with Dodge has been a cornerstone of his career, allowing him to achieve remarkable milestones in drag racing.

Tony Stewart, who made a surprising and impressive entry into drag racing last year, is relishing the opportunity to compete full-time in NHRA Top Fuel. His rookie season has already shown promise, and he is eagerly looking forward to building on this experience with Dodge’s continued support. The partnership with Dodge has proven crucial in navigating the challenges and changes within the drag racing realm, and Stewart’s excitement about the future reflects the optimistic outlook shared by the entire TSR team.

The TSR Direct Connection Dodge//SRT machines have been competitive throughout the 2024 NHRA Mission season, with Hagan currently holding a strong position in the Funny Car class and Stewart steadily climbing the Top Fuel rankings. 

As the season progresses, fans can look forward to more thrilling performances from this dynamic team. With two more NHRA Mission events on the horizon, including the NHRA Virginia Nationals and the NHRA Summit Racing Nationals, the extension of this partnership promises to further elevate the excitement and success of both Dodge and Tony Stewart Racing.
