5x Gators Champion Tony Schumacher Looks to Continue Building on that Legacy this Weekend
/Tony Schumacher has won the Gatornationals 5x in his career and runner-up another 4x. This weekend he is looking to build on that Gatornationals legacy with a 6th Gatornationals Wally.
“I’ve been super successful there, having won five times, but I’ve won that race with different crew chiefs. As much as I’d like to take the credit for my Gainesville success, a whole bunch of people contributed to that. But, I do believe that we’ll have great success this weekend with our new team as well. I wish we were part of the Call-Out race because it makes you step up your game a little earlier in the weekend, but our Scag Top Fuel dragster is performing extremely well without the results. Obviously, we have two first-round wins, which is good, but we've just had some gremlins bite us which has prevented us from racing to our full potential.
“We have a great group of folks from Scag Power Equipment coming out. Already, we had people coming up to the ropes at our last race letting us know that they had a Scag dealership and they were so excited for a Scag race car, so I’m really pumped to debut our Scag car this weekend. A lot of good things in the works for our team.”
