Fresh off a Top Fuel win in Pomona, and yeah, that makes win number three in Top Fuel for the man, and his first win with this team. Driving for Richard Freeman and Elite Motorsports, Tony is showing early that this deal can win.<\/p>\n<p>Joining him is Richard Freeman, the man behind Elite Motorsports. Car owner. Pro Stock powerhouse. And one of the most unapologetic voices in the sport. If he\u2019s thinking it, he\u2019s saying it. No filter. No backing down. We\u2019re gonna hear it straight from him on how this whole deal with Tony is going and what he sees moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s Matt Hagan, Funny Car winner in Pomona, driving for Tony Stewart Racing. Veteran. Champion. And yeah, the dude shows up looking like a modern day cowboy every single race weekend. Game day outfit dialed in. But when that helmet goes on, it\u2019s all business. One of the most dangerous guys in the class, and he proved it again last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Three big personalities. Three different roles. One stacked conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Top Fuel. Funny Car.
