First Look: Tony Stewart Racing Drivers Pruett, Hagan Share Sneak Peek of New Dodge Livery

After a two-year hiatus for the birth of her and husband Tony Stewart's son Dominic, Pruett returns to drag-racing competition with a new Dodge livery and an all-new TSR Dodge Top Fuel Dragster after the 12-time NHRA Top Fuel event winner just missed capturing the 2023 NHRA Mission Top Fuel championship.

"I'm very excited to get back in the car for the 2026 season," said California native Pruett. "Last year, I wanted to make sure I still had a passion to race after sitting out two years. After giving birth to Dominic and then being a mom for a year, I really wasn't sure if I had the competitive level or should I sit out another year. So, we had a handful of tests. It was really the first time I was out of a race car since I began Junior Dragsters at age 8. But I'm ready to go."

Stewart, the motorsports legend with series titles in NASCAR, IndyCar and USAC, replaced Pruett in the TSR Dodge dragster in 2024-2025, winning two events and capturing the 2025 Top Fuel regular season points championship. Stewart, the TSR team owner, will also be competing in the Top Fuel class in 2026, driving for Elite Motorsports.

Stewart will also return to the NASCAR stage at Daytona in 2026, teaming up with Ram Truck and Kaulig Racing in Ram's return to NASCAR. Stewart will be the first competitor in Ram's groundbreaking Free Agent program within the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series.

Hagan, winner of 55 NHRA national events in his career (all in Dodge Funny Cars), came close to his fifth NHRA Mission world championship last year by taking his 12,000-horsepower TSR Dodge//SRT Hellcat Funny Car to second in the 2025 points standings. The Virginia driver won Funny Car races last year at Seattle, St. Louis and Las Vegas and prepares to enter his 19th campaign in a Dodge Funny Car.

"I have driven a Dodge Funny Car for my entire NHRA career, and I want to put the Dodge machine in the winner's circle and take another championship for them and all of our TSR sponsors," said Hagan, a four-time NHRA champion. "Without them we couldn't do what we love to do, and that is win races and championships. I know we'll be ready to go right out of the box at Gainesville."

The NHRA Gatornationals are scheduled for March 5-8, with qualifying set for two runs on Friday (March 6) and Saturday (March 7). Final eliminations will take place on Sunday (March 8).

Dodge
For 112 years, the Dodge brand has carried on the spirit of brothers John and Horace Dodge. Today, that legacy roars louder than ever in the next-generation lineup of Dodge, America's performance brand.

The next-gen Dodge Charger multi-energy lineup features:

• the 550-horsepower Dodge Charger Scat Pack, powered by the 3.0L Twin Turbo SIXPACK high-output (H.O.) engine — the most powerful Hurricane engine in production
• the SIXPACK-powered standard-output (S.O.) 420-horsepower Dodge Charger R/T with standard all-wheel drive and the highest entry-level horsepower of any muscle car 
• the world's quickest and most powerful muscle car in the all-electric 670-horsepower Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack

Every Charger comes standard with all-wheel drive and offers two-door coupe or four-door sedan configurations — because with performance comes choice.

The Dodge lineup is also fueled by the fastest American gas-powered SUV ever, the 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, powered by the legendary supercharged HEMI V-8 engine, now available in all 50 states. The new Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak breaks free from convention with the three-row SUV, unlocking more than13 million potential customization combinations. The 360-horsepower 5.7-liter Durango GT HEMI AWD remains the most affordable AWD V-8 in the industry.
