Schumacher is a very famous name in racing all over the world. Unbelievably though for such an uncommon name, Don Schumacher and his son Tony are not related in any way to Formula 1 racing legend Michael Schumacher. There must be something in the name that makes people want to get in a car and drive as fast as they can go. In the case of this Schumacher, he's yet another man who walked away from his sport to go into business, only to find himself drawn back in.
A good drag racer in the 1960s, Schumacher retired after eleven years to take over his father's electronics business. Cleverly, he saw the way the world was changing and positioned the firm so it is now the largest manufacturer of phone chargers in the world. He took the profits from this, returned to the sport he loved, and opened Don Schumacher Racing, with Tony as the star driver.
