RECORDS "THE SARGE" HAS SET IN 2008

U.S. Army Top Fuel driver Tony "The Sarge" Schumacher's whirlwind 2008 season is one that is sure to go down in the record books. Claiming the 2008 Top Fuel World Championship title, Tony successfully broke the record for the most consecutive Top Fuel world championship wins and the most all-time Top Fuel world championship titles.

This year's championship win was Tony's fifth total with the U.S. Army, moving him past legendary driver, Don "The Snake" Prudhomme, for the most world championships won by U.S. Army driver. In addition, "The Sarge" claimed a record-breaking 15 victories this season, becoming the winningest Top Fuel driver in NHRA history, while capturing a number of other titles along the way.
