U.S. Army driver Tony Schumacher signs a autograph. The for San Fernando Valley resident has become one of the top competitors in drag racing.

My crack video man Raul Roa and myself dropped by the U.S. Army pit area and talked to five-time Top Fuel champion Tony Schumacher, who is seeking an unprecedented fifth consecutive title this season.

Schumacher hopes to cut up the competition this year.

Tony talked about his chances to win the championship this week and about recently taking some runs in stock car. Our video should be up shortly. I hope you enjoy it.
