No one ever walked away from an interview with Tony wondering what was on his mind.

[@keeganstewart3916]

You nailed it! He never sugar coated his comments and put his thoughts out there. Sure miss him.

[@CharizardMaster69]

My favorite Tony Stewart quote is either: “I’m to damn fat to be climbing fences” or “Pepsi may be the sponsor but Coke is better!”

[@davidpeters2550]

LOL I actually remember that Pepsi vs Coke comment, that makes me laugh every time I am reminded of it 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

[@saragrant9749]

Best quote from Smoke will always be "well the media center is too safe so we should start sawing legs off chairs and see how that works" after some noodlehead asked if he thought the sport was getting too safe. I died on that one 🤣🤣🤣

[@davidpeters2625]

I totally forgot about that 😂😂😂😂Thanks for the laugh!

[@Tcottong]

Yes that was my favorite too.

[@Tommy23269]

That’s after he won Kansas in 2009

[@blainecapano4113]

Was so mad they missed that one "Are you paying attention?" I was crying lmfao

[@hillarywheeler4472]

Hope he comes on the show again. Could listen to Tony and Dale trade stories all day

[@joemommasvids]

Another awesome thing about Tony is that when you race with him on iracing, he's one of the few legends who will talk back to you and be real with you. He'll even call people out for bitching too much. Such a down to earth guy.

[@curtyos]

not to mention will he grill your ass for doing something stupid

[@nathanfaith8973]

@@SooHooSamaSito I felt like there were times where he took things out of proportion. For the most part though, i feel like he spoke up for legitimate reasons. He didn't crash and give the typical "golly gee, we got wrecked. It's just part of it" b.s. He showed real emotion, as any normal, non-robotic, non pc person would. He made mistakes at times, but i don't remember him trying to brush it off, or not fess up to it. Talladega 2012 was a perfect example. He admitted his fault to that. He didn't hesitate to admit to his mistakes, but wasn't afraid to call someone out either. Just my two cents, for what it's not worth...

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

He is down to earth. If you ever get the chance to go to Eldora and he's walking around or riding in a golf cart, you can walk right up and talk to him like he's your neighbor. Even when he's busy, he takes time for race fans.

[@ScooterLee-ei1ep]

@Ethan Weeter id like to see the cup guys go there. Lets see how they fair. Most of them couldn't.

[@Zach-td5mb]

Ethan Weeter a little late but it’s an awesome track. Great facilities, great racing, good food. And the view is good from all around the track. Highly recommend it. Not to mention you might meet Tony Stewart.

[@VAHOSS]

Tony was the last of a special breed

[@curtyos]

one of the last drivers to still recognize that it all starts at the bottom

[@Rob_Moilanen]

Agreed, like AJ Foyt, Tony Stewart was and is the best at telling you fucked up and wasn't afraid to put a chrome horn up your ass to let you know it, Sprintcar drivers just have a rare quality that you can't get anywhere else!

[@Wingedoverphotos]

Rob Moilanen 💯%

[@purplebondsaiyan2987]

You see that today in my opinion in Kyle Busch because like AJ and Smoke is the honesty you don't see that in Other Drivers in Today's Nascar. If Kyle said upfront in 2007 that the COT Car Sucked he has his Opinion and Let's be Honest everybody at the End of the Day knew that those Cars Sucked. Tony did Represented a Special Breed of Drivers my kind of Drivers that don't give a Crap and that are straight up honest. We now see that in Kyle Busch just people are not giving him credit.

When Talladega repaved the track in 2006 between the spring and fall races, the only one that visited the construction site was Tony Stewart. The construction crew put a hard hat helmet on him and put him in a bulldozer. Tony looked right at home.

tony's right about the vanilla drivers, the sport needs more colorful drivers,

I wish they would’ve talked about when Tony and Jr were both in the media center at Richmond and Jr almost cracked up at Tony responding to a dumb question

[@stormkelleh]

That one still gets me cackling

[@bigorange2082]

That was a classic.

[@moparproud3978]

I didn’t truly appreciate Tony until he retired. I was never a fan but couldn’t help but pull for him after he started SHR because that was so cool. And now the sport needs him more than ever.

[@devinaschenbrenner2683]

Same. I HATED him growing up. But it wasn't until his presence was gone that I realized what he actually brought to the sport

"Tape em off solid" best line ever

[@paulacri604]

My favorite Nascar drivers always have been and forever will be Dale E and Dale Jr. but next will always be Smoke! Tony falls into that category of elite drivers who will always personify Nascar racing and the excitement of that type of competition. Always loved Tony's 'take no prisoners' attitude on the track ! And if you got in his way or did something stupid causing him a problem, stand by, you were going to hear about it with no mixed words, bi sweet talking ! Like Dale E and Dale Jr, I will forever miss Smoke on the Nascar Cup tracks !

[@Presley3]

I agree Tony Stewart is always been my third favoritest.

[@MavenFade]

I miss Tony.. he was probably my favorite driver because he reminded me of my dad as a racer. My dad passed of cancer last year after he retired..

[@davidpeters2625]

Bless your heart.... I'm sorry to hear about that...

[@ryanmurphy2588]

God, I Love Tony Stewart. I don't care what anybody says. Dale Sr and Smoke are the 2 greatest Race Car Drivers ever!!! Not gonna change my mind!!!!!

[@bigelile07]

Agree 100 percent

[@keeganstewart3916]

Totally agree.

[@BuddWolf]

I always liked Smoke, even from his open wheel racing days. He was one hell of a competator and never held back his opinions. Sure do miss that fire in a race car driver. Reminds me of Dale(3). He had that "Love me, great. Hate me, great. Just don't hate the game"

[@tedasp8847]

I love Tony Stewart he's a racers racer. And NASCAR needs more Jimmy Spencers.

[@robinreece920]

Tony spoke his mind and did not mince words. I miss him not only on the track but hearing him tell it like it is! You were a colorful driver for sure!

[@brianpair2934]

And those are the ones who don't even contribute a dime to NASCAR. They just sit behind a keyboard and type all the time

[@LoneWolf2k4]

Tony, I have the balls to say, I ******* hated you. I hated, what I felt at the time were tantrums. As we got through the late 2000s, I... well... kinda grew to love you. You are such a polarizing character and one hell of a racer. I'm glad you got that swagger back bud, and you have my upmost respect! Sincerely, your (took me a while) fan!

My biggest regret as a fan during the 2000's was not appreciating Tony Stewart. Now that he's no longer driving, I miss the hell outta that dude.

Miss watching Jr and Tony both out on that track!

[@neilholschbach6704]

Totally agree with Tony about social media!!

[@ThePeterVannShow]

Been a Stewart fan since his rookie year,i think one of my favorite sound bites was (and theres a video somewhere of it) when he was in the media center giving someone his usual respect he has towards them and there's Dale Jr. trying to hold it together on his left next to him. The comment was awesome but watching Jr. try to maintain composure was priceless.

[@davidtheriot1180]

It was the interview after the Richmond Race.

[@grants2125]

Those sound bites are a big reason Smoke was my favorite driver. That and he was a badass on the track. When he retired I quit watching NASCAR. It's just not the same as it was and not exciting to me anymore.

[@polycube868]

Tony is to me, one of the last ole cowboys of racing. I think 2002 was the last time these drivers know to drive the veterans. Then it was younger over experience.

[@jasonrobbins7143]

I really like how Jr. & Tony get along... Even though they raced for different teams back in the early 2000's both Jr. & Tony would work well together at Daytona & Talladega. If Jr. wasn't running with Michael Waltrip it always seemed like the #8 & the #20 would always get together & draft

[@Shockfactor22]

They seemed to race better together than they did with their own teammates. Hell I think almost every time Junior won on the plates, Stewart was USUALLY the one behind him.

[@djh3_88hinskey5]

Still one of my favorite guys. Speaks his mind and means what he says. A good quip I remember was one year from Daytona practice or something. Reporter asked him what problem was why they were so slow or something. Tony comes back and asks guy "did I miss something? what does this pay? sunday is payday!"

[@theheadofthetable4246]

Tony Stewart is my favorite all time NASCAR driver because he has no problem with calling someone else out if they deserve it and in a way I feel he is a throwback to the old days of guys who would wreck people and then would go to them after and explain why the wrecked him.

[@floyd4311]

MAN I MISS SMOKE!!!

[@willmoritz5493]

[@5ross1]

I just wish Tony was still driving. I never had a favorite NASCAR driver until he came along. I even have some of his cars and a big wall clock when he won rookie of the year on my wall. They will always be there. I had a good friend who lived in Brownsburg, In, where Tony's one garage is located and he knew Tony. He was always going to get it fixed so I could meet Tony. Sadly it never happened. Bill passed away before he got it done. That is still one thing I would love to do. His name was Bill Kelso.

[@justinwilkes8491]

I agree with Tony Stewart about driver these days I grow up in the 90s when drivers had balls and rivalry between drivers still existed. To Tony's point about people talking crap about driver over social media has gotten out of hand. Here's the bottom line. NASCAR has gotten to soft when it comes to driver having feuds with each other to the point most of the fans my age and older are like this isn't the sport we have come to love over the years. In the past 15 years I have seen many NASCAR greats leave the seat and go else where due to NASCAR changing the rules so much. I think the boys have at it era should make an appearance once again. Thank you dale and team for the awesome content on a daily basis.
