LEAH PRUETT Tackles Fentanyl Crisis While Mastering New Mom Life Balance

March 28, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

LEAH PRUETT stepped up to support the Rayce Rudeen Foundation’s fentanyl addiction awareness campaign in Washington, proving that elite athletes can leverage their platforms for real social impact. With fentanyl responsible for 70% of overdose deaths in 2020, PRUETT’s involvement brings crucial visibility to a crisis that touches every community – and her authentic approach shows she gets that racing fame comes with responsibility.
The timing makes PRUETT’s advocacy even more impressive – she’s juggling new motherhood with baby Dominic James Stewart while supporting Tony Stewart’s 2025 NHRA Top Fuel campaign. Rather than stepping back, she’s finding her balance and using this transition period to make meaningful contributions beyond the track, showing that women can redefine what success looks like on their own terms.
While PRUETT won’t return to Top Fuel competition in 2025, she’s clearly not disappearing from the sport or public eye. Her partnership with Stewart extends beyond racing into healthcare initiatives like their $2.25 million Charlotte children’s medical facility, proving this power couple understands that influence should serve something bigger than lap times and trophy counts.
