Answering how the team had come together in such a quick time. She said, “Every person that is on this team, all of the partners that we have, everyone that’s on the team, its kind of a culmination of their own career. And that’s what we’re seeing today. The culture that we wanted to build for this team is what we have now, and that’s why we’re able to enjoy it as much as we do.”

Tony Stewart is also running full-time in the NHRA, but in the Top Alcohol Dragster instead of the Top Fuel Dragster.
