  • Take a look behind-the-scenes at our ‪@nhra‬ #Gatornats weekend. I started the 2023 season in the McPhillips Racing Mobil 1 Top Alcohol Dragster. Leah Pruett & Matt Hagan both had a great weekend for #TSRnitro and Hagan brought home the Funny Car win!
    Be sure to follow @tsrnitro on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, where we'll be giving away eight signed pistons.

    That's exactly what you have to do when the car you're up against is faster and is cutting good lights you have to take a shot at the light and that's what Smoke did hell yeah brother!

    This is a new Tony Steward from when I used to watch NASCAR. I remember *ANYONE* with a camera was fair game. haha. You know what to expect with him, and he's always been consistent. I can always appreciate someone like that.

    Tony, I'm not surprised by how quick that you are growing in the sport, because that's how you are made...to learn everything that you can about whatever you're doing; racing or wake boarding so that you know what kind of boat that you can get for Leah. You are made to give your best to whatever is before you.

      Yeah, old chubbs McKenzie will probably run over and murder the person who beats him in his first race! Or he will tell a fan he ain't got time for pictures or he will dish it out but old chubbs can't take it. He likes to start fights and then lets his crew fight for him! He is a murdering POS who paid Kevin Ward's parents a settlement with a nda so they can't talk about the case! That is not what an innocent person does.

      And that's why this sport is turning to shit. People care more about who the driver is than just watching the badassery that is top fuel. IHRA sanctioned events were the best, then the NHRA took over and gives us half the action for twice the cost....

    20 years ago I would never had thought I'd get to watch Tony Stewart in a nitro drag car. I can't explain how happy I am to watch every weekend and root for my favorite former NASCAR driver!! Keep digging and I'm sure we will get to see that Mobil 1 car in the winners circle in no time.

    Tony, keep up this kind of behind the scenes content like clay millicans channel and i believe the channel will blow up. Personally i love this type of content. Thanks for putting it out. Good luck this year. Rooting for your team. Lets get Kurt Busch out in Pro Stock. That would be awesome also.

    • @xPr1m3
      @xPr1m3 Рік тому +2

      I can't agree more. Behind the scenes stuff is the best content you can get in drag racing, in my opinion. You can watch the cars go down the track anywhere else, but getting a look into all stuff that makes up a run, its unbeatable footage.

    Having been a long standing fan of NHRA, and having tge great fortune to attend a few events I had firsthand experience with the what seems to be chaos, is in truth an extremely organized massive event. It doesn't matter which field a person looks at, they are all very busy between runs.
    I tip my hat in respect to the small armies that makes it all possible. I am talking about the crew that takes care of the grounds and the facility, to the sponsors, and of course to the faces of the sport...the race teams themselves.

    At the 7:00 mark I saw a look I remember well. You were driving for Danny Leary in his midget. You came in after the second practice. You got out of the car and walked up to all of us smiling. You patted Danny on the shoulder and said " we got this one Danny". We left with the hardware.

    Wholly crap, I didn’t know my reason to love nascar in the ole orange number 20 is doing NHRA I have always know that Mr Stewart could drive anything with wheels and without. This right here is a gift and I found it from Cletus’s channel, you sir are one of my favorite wheelmen on the planet. As I said got me to watching nascar and all the other things you have raced. I remember a cup race and a open tire rice in the same day or weekend, it was long ago but I will never forget that. Thank you 🙏 😊

  • @repaid1
    @repaid1 Рік тому

    I don't know how I stumbled on this channel. Tony has always been my inspiration and why I stayed in NASCAR as long as I did. But his career path changed. I respected his decision, to step out of the drivers seat. And now except for seeing him when I do catch a NASCAR race as a commentator I had no clue he dove over to the drag racing scene.
    Hell yeah brother now I will watch you on this side and spiked my interest again for Drag Racing. I was always a John Force fan but now you and your team on the ticket gives me so much more to root for in my disabled life as a Veteran...BTW Awesome Video, can't believe the low sub count, I think many of your ole' school fans were like me and just didn't know your racing this series...hope your channel and your team much prosperity.

My grandson is stationed in California Port Hueneme Naval Base. He is getting his schooling for the Air Force in vehicle maintenance. Him and some of his squad are going to work at the race at Ponoma in the pit area I told him there is another Indiana going to
    be there. The best of luck to you and your whole team and congratulations on all of the new things going on in your life .

    Thanks for the video Tony. I have always been a fan. I have watched you race from the the start of your Nascar career. Always watched on TV. Got to see you race at 1 race I attended. It was in Texas when you were running pretty darn good until you had a touch up with the wall. I believe your car caught fire then. I was so happy to see you out of the car and not injured. The fire on the car got put out..but that fire in your heart to race and win and if not win to give it your very best shot to try and win. Keep up the great legacy you have created. Always pulling for you.
