TOPEKA, Kan. – A perfect finish to the Western Swing has Top Fuel’s Tony Schumacher on the right track and that could be dangerous for the rest of the loaded class heading into this weekend’s Menards NHRA Nationals presented by PetArmor at Heartland Motorsports Park. “You’ve got perform this time of the year,” Schumacher said. Coming into (Seattle), we found ourselves 12th in points, 100 out of the top 10 and you’ve got to perform. It’s all really close right now and you’re to the point where there’s just a few races before the Countdown. Todd advanced to his first final round of the year before falling to Force’s teammate, points leader Robert Hight. “Last year Topeka was a good race for the DHL team with a No. The most important time of the year is coming up in the Countdown. Topeka will be hot, but it was hot in Seattle, and we did alright.”.
