LEAH PRUETT Takes On Fentanyl Crisis While Mastering New Mom Life & NHRA Support

March 28, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

LEAH PRUETT stepped up big time for the Rayce Rudeen Foundation’s fentanyl awareness fundraiser in Washington, proving that being a new mom doesn’t slow down a woman with a mission. She’s calling addiction what it is – “grand theft” of joy, health, and relationships – while actively fighting to destigmatize treatment and recovery efforts.
While Tony Stewart pilots her Top Fuel dragster and earned Rookie of the Year honors, PRUETT has found her groove balancing motherhood with supporting his 2025 campaign. She’s not missing races and describes winning “the absolute lottery” with baby Dominic, an incredible team, and partners who actually support working mothers in motorsports.
The couple’s philanthropic game is strong beyond racing – they’ve committed $2.25 million to a Charlotte children’s medical facility through Novant Health, set to open in December 2025. PRUETT’s involvement in community causes while managing new motherhood shows exactly how women can expand their influence beyond the track when the support system is right.
