Team owner Don Schumacher today clarified some of the recent media buzz that 19-year-old Alcohol Altered and Nostalgia drag racer Leah Pruett, of Redlands, Calif., will test and/or drive a Don Schumacher Racing Funny Car in the future, including at next week's two-day NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series test session at O'Reilly Raceway Park outside of Indianapolis, Ind.
