Greg Zyla interviews Don Schumacher
Don Schumacher’s record as a drag racing car owner/crew chief was remarkable. His technological advancements made his Funny Cars the leading performers in the country in the Sixties and early Seventies. Retired since 1974, Don’s interest in drag racing returned when son Tony began racing NHRA sportsman cars in the early 1990s. In their first full year Schumacher and son captured the 1999 NHRA Winston Championship. In 2000, father and son partnered with the U.S. Army and today are the reigning 2004 NHRA POWERade Top Fuel Champions.
