LEAH PRUETT Shows Perfect Balance of Mom Life and Racing Champion Swagger

December 15, 2025

• Two-time NHRA world champion LEAH PRUETT gave us all the feels at the Tony Stewart Racing Christmas party, where her son Dominic decided he needed some mic time during mom’s speech. The candid Instagram moment perfectly captured what we love about PRUETT – she’s navigating new motherhood with the same confidence she brings to the drag strip, proving you can be both fierce competitor and devoted mom.
• After stepping back from full-time racing in 2023 to focus on family life with husband Tony Stewart and baby Dominic, PRUETT is gearing up for her 2026 NHRA return. Here’s where it gets interesting: she’ll be racing against her three-time NASCAR champion husband, even though their teams maintain a marketing alliance. Talk about keeping competition in the family – we’re here for this power couple dynamic.
• PRUETT’s career trajectory shows exactly how women can redefine success on their own terms. She’s not apologizing for prioritizing motherhood or making compromises – she’s strategically planning her return while building the foundation she wants for her family. When she hits the track again in 2026, she’ll be doing it as a champion who chose her timeline, not one dictated by anyone else’s expectations.
