Tony Stewart was the reason why I started watching the sport.
Same
Tony Stewart has made NASCAR a lot more entertaining than it would have been if he'd not been a part of it. I miss him as a driver and as a genuine character both on and off the track, but time moves on and things change. Anyway, congratulations, Mr. Stewart.
Honestly, I think Stewart is probably the best overall driver motorsports has ever seen. In his prime, you could literally stick him in any kind of car on any kind of track and he'd be competitive at an elite level.
Yea
He's up there, yeah. I'd say Larson, but Stewart also has competitive open wheel success on top of dirt.
@@94nolo I just feel like Larson has got a lot more to prove to be able to take that title from Tony. Tony has won titles in both Indy and NASCAR. Larson also has one weakness that Tony never had: he's really struggled on superspeedways. Tony never struggled on any type of track, but Larson has a glaring weakness on superspeedways. Larson is great tho, imo he's the most talented driver on the planet right now.
@@slimbrady6691 agreed.
If he can fit inside
It's kind of fitting that the Joe Gibbs teammates Bobby Labonte and Tony Stewart go in together with Coach Gibbs.
It's a shame that Bobby, a true class act, had to share a stage with a lowlife coward like Tony.
@@sickofidiots4095 Didn't even put out a counterargument just went straight to insults. Proves even you know you're wrong.
Pharma Phil, He asked if I was Kevin's boyfriend.
Sorry I couldn't rise to your standards with
my reply. If anything has been "proven" it's that you're
one of the idiot fans I mentioned. You're supporting
a coward who KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID. Pathetic.
You want a "counterargument" for the suggestion that because a person smoked weed and was on the track (both dumb moves), he can be run over by a hot-headed IDIOT WHO WAS OBVIOUSLY SHOWING HIS ASS and Tony can rightfully take ZERO RESPONSIBILITY? Are you joking or BLIND as a bat?
I’m not too sure why I liked Tony so much. I think it was when me and my sister went to our local Home Depot and he was there signing autographs. I still have the apron he signed for me. He’ll always be one of my favorite drivers
If you’re a car person and a racing fan (any kind of racing) Tony Stewart is a household name. His sense of humor is amazing. People forget all these brave drivers risk their lives for our entertainment. A big congrats to Tony,
He's one of NASCAR's greatest, They had to put him in the hall of fame ✌️✌️👏👏
I laughed and I cried, this speech was classic Tony Stewart! Congrats Smoke!!!
Hey stewy
Tony is an awesome Driver and I have met him 4 times so far . In Canada and Florida , I appreciate the time he puts aside for his fans . This induction was pretty cool and well deserved .
There is only one Smoke. Congratulations, Tony!
Thankfully!
For everone's safety, YES.
Nobody is swerving at teenagers and KILLING THEM except Tony "Bully-Coward" Stewart. You picked a great idol to worship.
@@sickofidiots4095 lol ur stupid. He didn't kill anyone. The kid killed himself and was on weed. Ur a total joke
@@sickofidiots4095 just because he’s a goated driver
Classic Smoke, well done.
I love how Tony can be hilarious, emotional and humble all in one speech
It's been a long, wild ride, Smoke. Been here with you since I was 12 and you were in USAC in 1992
@John Harris ,he Said 1992
@John Harris don't make me get my horse
@John Harris, i know
I became a Tony Stewart fan in 1st grade, a year after his 2nd career title. Now as a junior in college, it’s crazy to see him being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Congratulations to him on a phenomenal career!
Great speech Tony! Congratulations on your induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Thank you my hero for inspiring me and countless others to do more with themselves and my you continue to do so as a team owner,congratulations on the HOF Stewart you earned it!
I couldn’t believe he said that he’s inspired 😂 There’s a reason why they call him smoke! And finally it caught up with him and he killed someone! That’s not a person you want to look up to my friend! And before you say he didn’t mean to do it just remember they all were under the caution flag!
@@Losttouchjs dipshit.
Lloyd and Losttouch, two people that give me hope for humanity. When the system lets people like Tony get away with at best, manslaughter, good people will speak up.
Simple as that. This is NOT TROLLING.
@@sickofidiots4095 lol and thats false. Didn't kill anyone or manslaughter anyone. Get over it snowflake
@@Losttouchjs lol no they weren't the kid got out of his car and went in front of a moving car lmfao. Doesnt matter if it was caution or not. Its his own fault and he was high
Congrats Tony ! You deserve it ! You are my #1 !!
Both emotional and hilarious. We love you Smoke!
Classic Tony. Always a straight shooter with a great sense of humor lol
Straight killer.
Always a piece of shit.
@@sickofidiots4095 Correct!
5:07 Tony said that 20 of his 21 years of racing was with Joe Gibbs. Nah, I think you ran more than one year in the 14. lol
I think he meant 10 or 11
As a driver
@@CJODell12 joining? He started that team
@@CJODell12 TIL, thanks for the clarification
Tony Stewart is the GOAT of motorsports all time. Period.
I agree, that's why I sent Tony my life savings to help pay off the Ward family. Love ya Smoke!
Thanks Tony, love y’all!
Tony took the thoughts straight out of my head. I grew up as a youngster in the days of IROC and Days of Thunder. Saw the later years of Prime Dale Earnhardt Sr., Awesome Bill From Dawsonville, Davey, and saw Richard Petty's last race. But as a child I craved any footage and or knowledge I could get my hands on about actual racing on the beach, footage of the winged warriors, and Cale, Bobby, Donnie, David, and everyone else you can think of. Why? Because as a true fan of the sport, I wanted to experience what I'd never had a chance to experience. When the Prelude to the Dream became a reality, that was the greatest racing atmosphere I'd ever seen in my life. Big names, throwing it back on a small track is the coolest thing in the world. Makes the biggest little kid out of me. When Throwback weekend took off, I felt like the sport was headed in the right direction again. Then the Roval came to pass. I thought, the dream of seeing a Cup Race for points on dirt could become a reality. At somewhere like Kansas, Eldora, Bristol or something like that. That would literally be the coolest thing ever.
Tony you are a true gem! One in a million and Nascar was so lucky to have you. God bless you
Too bad God didn't bless the guy Tony ran over lol
@@donjohnson4723 Then don’t watch it TROLL!!!
Those first 20 seconds are pure gold and pure smoke
I'm a huge Tony Stewart fan. Congrats Tony, well deserved. ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🏁🏎
My room was orange and had 20 everywhere in it his team gave me a bag filled with stuff from him Tony Stewart is the goat!
Congrats Tony!!!!
Legend. Well deserved Tony.
Congrats Smoke!!
Wasn't a big Tony Stewart fan but hes a very talented driver and I always respected his versatility and skill. Well deserved inductee and a great speech, haha. Congratulations Tony Stewart
I've always been a big Harvick fan. And Tony was his buddy .. so automatically i had to like smoke too. Lol.
Congratulations, Smoke! 💨 🏁🏆🏆🏆
Congratulations Tony, thats 1 well deserved HOF spot for Smoke! Now for the OG Smokey Yunick into the HOF too.
From everyone here in Indiana congrats Tony. Watched u win in Chicago a couple times and Indy. Your the Best!
About time you got in there❤👍☺☺☺ This Gordon fan ❤❤❤❤❤ you Smoke👍❤ Congrats! Well deserved.
~Kathy~
So.................You wrote the "I'm a nasty woman" poem.
Tony will definitely always be one of my favorite drivers good guy that's a old school hard nosed racer would like to have a drink with him one day.
*You go TONY,*
*You are the man*
*You deserve this*
*Hall of Fame goes to*
*TONY STEWART*
Running Bear no shit.
Awesome Tony and a great speech.The NASCAR #14 car will always be your car.
In my opinion, like the late and great Kobe Bryant in the NBA, Tony has two numbers: 14 and 20.
Tony's numbers are definitely a big deal. Yep.
Haven't always been his biggest fan but damn, that speech had me in tears. Congrats Tony on your career and your HOF induction!
Congratulations Tony "Smoke" Stewart. This is what it looks like when you have family and friends believe in your dreams. What the parents did was big and risky so they seen something the world didn't see. We need to stop calling our children's gifts mental illnesses and embrace their gifts. Old fashion families get what I mean. I am so glad he was able to pay his family back. Smoke has an amazing back story to why he made it. The old saying "it takes a village to raise a child" and the village raised a driver.
It's a shame he took that opportunity away from Kevin Ward Jr.
Congratulations Smoke!!
Thank you Tony Stewart for all the years of hard racing enjoy that you have given your fans you'll truly be missed on the NASCAR circuit tracks
Congratulations Tony!!! So happy for you
Congratulations
My man in the hall of fame
Great guy and driver, well deserved
Congrats Smoke.
Thank you for all the memories Tony See you at the dirt tracks!
Better keep your head on a swivel.
@@sickofidiots4095 Tony killed a guy, that's awesome lol
We're so happy and thrilled for SMOKE!! He's the best driver of the past 2 decades and he deserves all the recognition that he receives. He's just not a great driver, he's a great humanitarian and overall human being!! WE LOVE YOU, SMOKE!!
A humanitarian? You've completely lost your mind.
Well deserved Smoke. Congratulations
Your still my hero!!!
Мистер Стюарт, знаю что я русский, а вы американец, но nascar мне нравится. Я немало чего о вас знаю. Но больше всего я знаю ваше мастерство вождения stock car, также ваша речь оооооочень замечательная!!!
Но я знаю все ваши машины, на которых вы гонялись, немало событий...
Но вы мой фаворитный гонщик nascar.
Даника Патрик тоже моя фаворитная гонщица.
Nascar, F1, Gymkhana, V8 supercars - мои фаворитные гоночные виды спорта!!!
Мистер Стюарт, УДАЧИ ВАМ В ВАШЕЙ КАРЬЕРЕ!!!!!!
Miss you Smoke.
“Im really happy to resent- represent the blue oval” nice slip there tony

Congratulations Tony! I had tears of pride watching you tonight.
Congratulations Tony
Legend!
Smoke!!
Smoke, you have always my man. Congratulations you deserve this, and my all your future racing ventures be fruitful. Stay humble. TOOOOOONY!!!!!!!!!!! Love ya man :)
2:37 I thought that was Robert Plant on the left at first glance. Does that mean my brain's a tool?
Never did get that cup race at eldora
Not yet
Good stuff , teams recharge your self, revitalize body mind , sole for next seasons great tests
I'd love it if he could have sang a little of "To all the girls I've loved before....."
This is why I will always look up to Smoke as a hero if mine. Class, witty and always has a smile to share with you. I'm proud that a fellow Hoosier has made the final lap into the NASCAR HoF!!
Smoke ❤️
Nice to hear him shout out the late Bryan Goewey
Smoke is one of the greatest short track racers ever....
Always entertaining.
Congrats smoke!!!
This is a great night
Congrats!
Well said smoke
He killed that speech!!!
Murdered it.
You're a legend, Smoke.
Kind of like OJ, with less balls.
You're kind of like a human, with less brains.
I would drink a beer with ya Tony! Man I know you wanted to be wearing some jeans and a t-shirt relaxing, lol!
Lol 7:25 someones gettin chewed our after that.
I really don't like Tony Steward because he is such a rude, arrogant person, but he does have some driving skills.
Had! Had some skills. Ex-fan who knows his ego killed Kevin Ward Jr. Mere sight of Stewart makes me ill, sick to my stomach.
Congragulations Tony "Smoke" Stewart,very deserved!
Smoke!
Growing up hating Smoke, but later loving him, i truly thought he'd get the Rucky Rudd treatment and be given the black flag on a nomination. Still cant believe tony is in there without Smokey Yunick!
Now that all the Nascar greats are retired all the new drivers are boring they are not men they are kids.
I suppose it is a nice tribute to drivers that raced when NASCAR was worth watching. Unfortunately the sport has been blemished with princess drivers and constant weekly rule changes that has made watching this sport painful.
I wish Tony would at least run the Daytona 500 few more times. I miss Tony and much respect and this is coming from a 40 year Earnhardt fan. The sport is missing these kinda drivers real men not afraid to speak there mind.
I didn't realize he raced for 18 seasons. Felt so short, but I guess it just flew by.
Tony! Never let Kevin Harvick go! Please!
Why not? He let Kevin Ward go.
@@raymond3803 was ruled an accident. Get over it.
Tony should have asked all these supposed proud supporters to chip in on the pay off to make Kevin Ward's family go away. I bet that would shut 'em the fuck up!
NASCAR's last Bad Ass. Congratulations !
Hopefully he's the last "badass" that gets away with murder.
@@sickofidiots4095 He didn't murder anyone. The guy should not have been on the track, and didn't he have drugs and or something else in his system?
Never seen Tony walking on an active track, raising hell? I have.
Poor reasoning for excusing the fact Tony gagged the gas and went UP THE TRACK right where he had just WRECKED him. He was trying
to show the boy up and unfortunately, his idiotic decision cost Kevin Ward Jr. his life. Tony should be in prison today.
@@sickofidiots4095 They had a trial and said it was an accident. Enough said, deal with what the court said, don't give me a hard time about it.
Yeah, they let OJ walk too. Money talks.
If you can watch that video and say Tony had no responsibility, you're only lying to YOURSELF.
Who cares if he swerved
at the punk and killed him, right?
Ward was smoking the devil weed!
Pathetic.
There’s a true champion
Yeah, accidentally ran a guy over while showing his ass and never admitted an ounce of responsibility....a true Champion indeed, what a guy.
MR . DEATH AND DISASTER
Cup race at eldora!!! WHAT??
I am
Congrats, Smoke. You deserve this more than 75% of the current hall of famers
The only thing he left out was anger management. Thanks for all the hours I watched you race A well deserved honor tony congratulations
11 more days til Daytona!!
god dam this dog to hell
@@redkellyre6568 wow, you're a loser!
@@logansharpe4440 Since when does expressing an opinion qualify as "loser?"
@@raymond3803 just expressing my opinion 🙏
@@logansharpe4440 So............ Redkelly's opinion is that of a loser, while yours isn't? The following is not an opinion, it's a matter of fact. Read it!
*BEHOLD!* You moronic murder mongering Tiny Stewart fans..................... *_You've never heard (nor thought) about THIS before._*
Few things more frustrating than a caution immediately after passing someone for position. What time, laps, effort you've expended is negated. Worse yet, you've showed your hand. If the guy is worth a damn *_(Kevin Ward Jr was)_* The only certainty you have is what worked before, will not work again. Now..........You've got to find another way by him.
Stewart *AND ONLY TONY STEWART* had an inherent reason to specifically look for the black #13. *WHY?* If Ward Jr. didn't cause the caution *_(and there was no way of Stewart knowing)_* Then Stewart has to forfeit the position back to Ward Jr. for the restart. *ABSOLUTE FACT!* And proof positive Stewart is a piece-of-shit who lied about not seeing Ward Jr.
*CONFIRMATION!* Tuckdaman11 2 years ago Rayism 24b.. you know I never even thought about the fact that they would revert to the previous lap when caution came out.. *_he would have definitely been looking for ward jr_* *GOOD CATCH!* It's nice to know there are others out there that see what really happened that night. Most brush it off as a dumb kid that shouldn't have been on the track. But if you have been around racing at all one would know it was common place for ward jr to do what he did. And the others that have been around racing are blinded by their fandom for Stewart. Idk I can't explain or figure how people can watch that video and not see what I or you see. It's really disturbing that they don't.
Tony Stewart jacking the throttle and spinning his tires is what killed Kevin Ward Jr. Stewart's right rear grabbed Ward's body like a giant soft, hot, sticky, spinning roasted marshmallow. That wouldn't let go. Otherwise *_(if hit at all)_* Ward Jr.gets run over like a speed bump. Stewart switched to Ford cause Chevrolet & Coca-Cola will no-longer have anything to do with him.
Dale Earnhardt Sr. wasn't strapped in. Tony Stewart is guilty as sin. *Guaranteed!* I monetarily back my word. We live on a plane, not a planet. Earth is FLAT!
