Champion Schumacher wins again

That may be the headline again this weekend in Melbourne but it has already happened in the United States where defending NHRA champion Tony Schumacher kick off his new season with victory at Firebird International Raceway. It was Schumacher's 22nd victory in the Top Fuel category and the US Army-backed driver clocked an impressive top speed of 329.50mph.
