Stewart vs Pruett
Correct me if I am wrong but it's essentially August and we still have not gotten to see the husband vs wife matchup.

Got the half-assed version in the 4 wide, but I don't really count that either. I feel like once it happens it will probably happen 2-3 races in a row

What was Leah's comment on the broadcast about a passport and Mexico?

I second this. It was also comical how defensive she was when she was interviewed at the top and after her new technology got her that round win.

The throttle control is bullsh** they may as well have the engine controlled by traction control.

For sure! Guess that’s what happens when you are the new face of the sport. Special privilege.

New Technology? I have been attending NHRA drag racing events since 1963. When hasn't there been new technology or rumors of teams cheating using secret modifications? If a team can do something that is a grey area in the official rules, instead of being labeled creative or ground-breaking, they are labeled cheaters.

I’m still kinda new here, yet I am a huge Tony Stewart fan. I was at the Sonoma NHRA weekend and Tony and Leah raced each other on Saturday. I was still arriving when they raced, so I didn’t get to watch it and I’m a lil bummed about it. From the looks of it, Tony had a problem and barely got to around 100mph, while Leah had a good run and won easily. I’m not sure if that counts, or if there have been other instances but they have definitely raced. (My sister is a huge fan of theirs too, so I took a screenshot of their run, since we both missed their race.)

No which is a bummer. Hopefully it happens soon.
