How the racing superstar has adapted to the NHRA and racing in a straight line so quickly.
Tony Stewart’s championship bucket is overflowing with titles, but there’s one he’s chasing this year that he never foresaw in his future—NHRA Top Alcohol dragster.
“I had people I had never met in the class, crew guys, drivers go, ‘Man, we’re so happy you’re running with us this weekend. You bring so much attention to this class,’” Stewart recounted about his inaugural Top Alcohol dragster event. Stewart is the only person with championships in open wheel, stock car and sprint car. He’s already in a class to himself, but if he adds a NHRA championship to his racing resume he will only further solidify himself as one of the greatest racing talents. However, that doesn’t mean his eyes are set on competing in NHRA Top Fuel, where his wife Leah Pruett is embroiled in a championship battle.
“I didn’t know whether I should do it or shouldn’t do it,” Stewart says. “I’d never run next to anybody.” “All the other race cars, you were moving, you saw things developing and you anticipate them,” Stewart says. “These are decisions we’re having to react to, not anticipate. It’s literally on what’s going to happen with your race car. It’s not about what the other side does. You just have to make such quick decisions depending on what that race car’s doing.”Competing in the Top Alcohol dragster class allows Stewart to watch Pruett’s Top Fuel and Matt Hagan’s Funny Car races on most occasions.
