SCHUMACHER LOOKING TO GO FROM WINLESS STREAK TO WINNING STREAK AT HOME TRACK, ROUTE 66: Seven-time NHRA Top Fuel world champ Tony Schumacher broke a 32-race winless streak at the most recent event at Bristol Dragway when he beat longtime on-track rival Doug Kalitta in the final round. As the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series heads to Chicago, where Schumacher resides, “The Sarge” looks to continue the success he had at Bristol Dragway. A win at Route 66 Raceway wouldn’t be his first; he has won three times at his home track. For tickets, call 888-629-RACE (7223) or log on to Route66Raceway.com.
