The couple got married just days after the NHRA season ended in Pomona, California. Pruett finished seventh in the Top Fuel standings in her final season with Don Schumacher Racing.
It has been announced that Tony Stewart Racing will be competing in the NHRA in 2022. Stewart (Pruett) will be the team’s Top Fuel Dragster pilot, while Matt Hagan will drive the team’s Funny Car.
At this time, it is not clear if she will use her new married name going forward in 2022. Or continue to use her maiden name.

Stewart and Pruett began dating in 2020. They announced their engagement on March 19, 2021.
