Tony Stewart Hints at Possible Return to NHRA Top Alcohol Class
Tony Stewart is standing in this season for wife Leah Pruett, who finished third in the class last year but is focusing on trying to start a family with Stewart.
Stewart says he’s in the dragster temporarily but when wife reclaims the car, he isn’t certain what he’ll drive next.
Return to sportsman-level Top Alcohol Dragster not out of the question.
Just how much does a victory mean to multi-series master Tony Stewart?
The IndyCar and NASCAR champion has taken on the challenge of an 11,000-horsepower Top Fuel dragster – and is racing at this weekend’s NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at Las Vegas, with a staggering 44,000 horsepower at the starting line.
At this event a year ago, Stewart earned his first drag-racing triumph and doubled up with Funny Car teammate Matt Hagan in the winners circle. This time, he’s looking for a nitro double at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
But wait – if that happens, Hagan, just for fun, might be tempted to run over and plant a kiss on Stewart’s cheek. He has done that to “the boss” before.
