Six-time NHRA Top Fuel champ Tony Schumacher just scored another win: his second Champion of Champions title as awarded by Chris Economaki and his National Speed Sports News at the PRI Show in Orlando, Florida, yesterday.
Past winners of this award sponsored by Speedway Motorsports are Donny Schatz and Steve Kinser of World of Outlaws, J.J. Yeley in USAC, and Jimmie Johnson in NASCAR.
This is from the press release:
“I think it’s very fair to say that Tony truly deserves this award as he has been one of the most exciting drivers to watch in all of motorsports,” noted Economaki, in announcing the win. “The level of consistency in his racing, when you consider how many championships he has earned in a very competitive class, is just amazing. Journalists, fellow racers, and virtually all of us in this industry have a tremendous amount of respect for what Tony has accomplished, and we felt it was important to recognize that once again.”
