‘Happy drag-racing wife, happy life’ only part of reason Tony Stewart chose Top Alcohol ride over Top Fuel Dragster
Tony Stewart, master of most motorsports, said he isn’t ready right now for an 11,000-horsepower NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series Top Fuel dragster andAvoiding a race-day pairing against wife Leah Pruett, Stewart figures, will ensure a more peaceful marriage.
However, many drag-racing fans had predicted the decorated driver would step up to a Top Fuel dragster and compete in the Camping World Drag Racing Series. Instead, he opted for a slate of 14events for the McPhillips Racing team in the sportsman-level Lucas Oil Series as he continues to operate wife Leah Pruett’s Top Fuel entry and Matt Hagan’s Funny Car at Tony Stewart Racing.
“It’s fine to test with it,” he said. “But the thing with that series and that division those cars are so fast that my brain is so far behind the car that if something happens, I don’t know that I could catch it or be ready for it. And that bothers me more than anything. “I don’t have a long-term plan for my driving career. We take it one step at a time. What is this leading to? We don’t know,” he said. “We didn’t know when we went to Vegas [last fall]. I just wanted to experience a full race weekend and see what it’s like. I had so much fun that I really want to do it again. We wanted to be smart about it.
