I helped build Smoke’s engines when he was racing in NASCAR, they were running Hendrick engines. He treated us all to a steak dinner at the shop after he won the championship and hung out all afternoon with us in the engine shop and signed hats for us. Best of luck Tony.
Welcome Tony Stewart, great debut, all the luck to you Tony on your next adventure. Wishing you and Lea and your team the best of luck. Will be looking for you in the "Winners Circle" soon. Go "SMOKE"
Tony will drive anything with wheels. It's great to see him taking on a new challenge and I'm sure he will be successful in his new quest as he has been in his previous ventures. We could see him in Top Fuel in the near future. God bless you Tony. That 5.21 @ 276 mph pass was awesome.
That's just it, he doesn't just do it to do it. He puts his all in and is successful at any and all forms of racing, so far anyway. I have no reason to think he won't be successul at drag racing though it is a whole different world.
This was my first National event I had ever attended. Seeing him make this run and get his first round win was amazing. Long live Smoke in the world of Drag Racing! Haha
I am more excited for this than anything in a long time. Tony was born a competitor and will bring new fans in. I can't wait to see how this goes for next season.
Man, what an incredible talent Tony is! I’m excited for Tony and his future in Drag Racing! I’m convinced Tony can drive anything with wheels, and probably some without! Congratulations Tony on your drag racing debut! I look forward to watching you in the future!
To run in the 5.20's on your first official NHRA pass, is awesome! The first type of race car ever got to work on (doing clutch) was on injected nitro cars (A/Fuel).. it is such a great class and fun class! I just think it's awesome the way he is doing is the right way and when people said the NHRA won't listen, I think Tony (and Camping World) being a part of the sport will change that, lol.. he genuinely cares about the history and doing everything right w/ any sport! The camaraderie and everything thwt goes into it is just like nothing else on earth (or at least in motorsports)
@@Richard-yk3cf Your ignorance is of titanic proportions. Kevin Ward Jr caused his own death, PUTZ. The truth/facts don't lie. Go argue your opinions with the NY state grand jury and the medical examiner reports.
@@sergeantmasson3669 the only reason he didn't get convicted is because they couldn't prove intent. How do you PROVE intent from a video? You're confusing legal definition of intent from a common sense definition. Common Sense tells you that if Tony can't see a guy standing in the middle of a racetrack, at caution speed, then he should have never been driving in the first place. Common Sense tells me that Tony has shown his temper many times before and this was no different. Seems kind of funny how none of the other drivers hit him but the one guy that would have had intent is the one that hit him??
Class act from a very classy guy!!! Anything with wheels can be tamed by Tony! Great new weekend hobby where the only drama is you and the track. Go Smoke
I have followed smoke thru his whole racing career.. midget,sprint ,areca,busch, and I will always consider it Winston Cup and now nhra racing plus owning race teams in different divisions. If that's not racing nothing is. Smoke go out there and kick their ass.I had the privilege to meet Smoke quite a few times . Tony s. Always been one of the biggest competitor's in racing and now we cannot say he is not a legend . Smoke is at the top of the list of racing legends. Go get um Smoke. ☮️ Out and God Bless you and your family.l .
been with Tony since 1998 when he was rookie of the year in Nascar, I have supported him ever since. I quit watching Nascar after they became PC on the confederate flag. I am glad to see him reach out into different challenges. I will keep supporting him in NHRA.
Aside from his obvious skill, motivation, and work ethic, Tony Stewart is an exceedingly intelligent man. He gets the physics and uses his innate understanding of force, acceleration, motion, and energy to its fullest advantage. Well done, Tony... again.
All he need do is look to John Force for how he could have an impactful career well into his golden years. That was damn good run and reaction time too for his first pass!
Awesome guy he can do it all ! Got the great pleasure of meeting him at the bass pro shop outside Birmingham along with ty and Austin Dillon signing autographs I have been a smoke fan along time !

big deal.
Always got that one person to make some stupid remark that totally unneeded.
What are you Tim??? Jealous!! 😃
Oh the joy, high blood pressure and passion Smoke brought to my days watching Nascar. This is Fantastic.
When he won 5 out of the 10 playoff races to win the championship at a Ford sponsored track that was incredible
Great job!! Have watched your entire career. Great pass! .....from a 70's Funny Car crew chief....
Your Amazing Tony
The NHRA and drag racing fans welcome Tony to our world!
Go Smoke Go!
Been a fan for a long time. My favorite no matter what he is driving!
I'm going to have to go to Gatornationals this year if Tony is racing

Stewart is one of a kind.
Yeah he is a killer that should be in jail.
Tony Started out in GoKarts. Great Job Tony!!
All he need do is look to John Force for how he could have an impactful career well into his golden years.
That was damn good run and reaction time too for his first pass!
One of the Greatest drivers of all time! NHRA's Win, Nascars Loss.
Good job Smoke!
