Leah Pruett (Image Source: Getty) Leah Pruett made headlines back in early 2024, but this time it's one of her cars rather than her son, Dominic James. After sitting out the previous two events to recover, the 12-time NHRA Top Fuel winner returned to action on June 23 during a private test session hosted by Tony Stewart Racing at Virginia Motorsports Park. As for a return to full-time play, there is still no official announcement. However, this is a significant indicator of her return to the sport since she stepped away from competition. It came in the waning days following the Virginia NHRA Nationals and allowed Pruett to reacclimate to her dragster in an easy-going, post-race atmosphere.

It was more than symbolic: with that run, she shed any wayward uncertainty and got reacquainted with the car she knows better than anybody. Pruett walked away to concentrate on family life but remained very much aligned with the team during the year, also continuing her work in areas of operations, testing, and mentorship.
