The 52-year-old has raced in the Indy 500, winning 3 IndyCar races and the 1997 IndyCar title before moving to NASCAR where he amassed 49 wins over 618 starts and three NASCAR Cup series titles in 18 seasons. Along the way, he continued to race, and win in dirt cars, sprint cars, midgets and added team ownership to his resume in 2000, when he started Tony Stewart Racing (TSR). Since its inaugural season in 2001, TSR has earned 27 owner championships – 14 in USAC, nine in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and four in the All-Star Circuit of Champions TQ Midgets. He’s also added entire racing series to his ownership portfolio and even a racetrack in Ohio. In 2008 Stewart left his longtime NASCAR team and became co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing. He left full-time NASCAR racing after the 2016 season but hasn’t slowed down. He married Leah Pruett in 2021 a year after Stewart was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Pruett has raced in the NHRA’s Top Fuel division since 2013. After the marriage it was little surprise when Stewart announced in October of 2021 that Tony Stewart Racing would be entering the NHRA fielding entries for Leah in Top Fuel and Matt Hagan in Funny Car.
