Tony Schumacher (drag racer)

Common card · No. 411709

Anthony Donald Schumacher (born December 25, 1969) is an American drag racer who is an eight-time NHRA Champion. He is the son of former Funny Car driver Don Schumacher and was a driver for his father's multi-team organization. He was sponsored for several years by the U.S. Army and his intense personality and buzzcut hairstyle has earned him the nickname "Sarge". "The Sarge" nickname originally applied to the dragster, but soon came to be affiliated with the driver himself. In 1999, Schumacher became the first driver to exceed 330 mph in competition. He also had the world record for the fastest 1/4 mile top fuel run: 337.58 mph, earned in 2005 at Brainerd, Minnesota. As of April 2026, Schumacher is competing in the NHRA Top Fuel class, of which he is an eight-time champion (breaking a record set by Joe Amato), winning the championship in six consecutive years (2004–2009).
