Amato won five NHRA Top Fuel championships, a feat matched only by legends Joe Fornio, Tony Schumacher, and Larry Dixon. He began his NHRA Top Fuel racing career in 1982, where he earned his first win against Joe Paisano at the Summernationals in Englishtown, New Jersey. In 1990, Amato achieved a career highlight, winning his first Top Fuel championship, followed by four more titles in 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994.

Amato retired from full-time racing at the end of the 2000 season and ranks fourth on the NHRA's all-time wins list with 52 victories.

He is also a successful businessman who owns a chain of automotive retail shops in Pennsylvania.
