One of the winningest drivers in NHRA history has a soft spot for Bandimere Speedway. “I love this place,” Tony Schumacher said. “It all started right here.”
Back in 1996, long before his 85 career race victories and eight series championships, Schumacher was an aspiring Top Fuel driver in search of an opportunity. He found it with the Denver-based Peek brothers — Mike, Jerry and Greg —“This was the first place I ever hit the gas in a Top Fuel car,” Schumacher said. “I came out, made some runs and got my license. … To be able to do it right here was spectacular.
“I missed everything,” Schumacher said. “But the fans, really. I can get back in the car and go fast anytime. Being out there and having all those kids smiling? It’s a big group of people. I like it. Standing there now — having people come up and say ‘we’re glad you’re back’ all day long everywhere — it’s just spectacular.”
