Tony Schumacher is heading to a track where he’s had success before. The multi-time champion has two wins to his credit at Houston Raceway Park, the most recent of which came last season.

“The win last year was pretty special,” he said. “It was the first victory with what was at the time my new team and crew chief (Mike Green). Of course, we went on to score four more wins and the world championship. But, it was the race at HRP that kick started everything.”

Schumacher knows if the weather is right he might deal with one fast drag strip come Sunday. Sitting just east of downtown Houston, HRP has been known as a site for record-setting performances due to its close proximity to Trinity Bay which typically pushes in cool air.

“If the conditions are there, we’ll all be hauling the mail for sure,” he said. “As usual, it’s going to be a real dogfight. We’re going to have to be extremely focused to get the job done. The competition in Top Fuel is fierce right now. But, like our Army Strong Soldiers, we’ll be totally prepared. We’ll always put the mission first and never quit, I will guarantee you that.”
