Best reaction time of the event in a Top Fuel Car. Pretty impressive driving. A .021 is exceptional. Way to go Tony.

Your closing is why you are the caliber and type of person that you are. Humble only begins to tell the tale. You know that you're just as human as the next person. Your natural and learned capabilities propel you into an atmosphere that very few people can achieve in a lifetime. The beauty of your life is that you don't let your abilities inflate your ego, in that is the grounding for your confidence, plus you in no way feel as though you need to prove yourself to anyone to have strong inner security. Thank you for living your humanity.

Tony Stewart. The modern-day A.J. Foyt. The N.H.R.A. is fortunate to have him. Tony's presence and participation in this series help give the N.H.R.A much-needed cred in the motorsports world. Good luck to Tony, Leah and their associates for all they do.

I was not a huge fan of him in his early Nascar days but grown to love him over the years. Drug me full steam into appreciating drag racing even more!

When SMOKE was a rookie in Nascar in 1999, I was the 18th person to join his fan club. I have been rooting for him ever since. So glad he found Leah. He deserves all the happiness there is! ❤❤

I got to talk to Tony after a USAC Midget race in California back in the 90s. I had done some dirt track racing years earlier, and learned we had the same perspective on how much fun hard fought races were, even for a 3rd place finish. I've been a fan ever since.

where do you start with this. first the pure joy in your dads voice say he gets to be a real part in this team. shows how much more family involement in the NHRA. to hear Tony talk about how the car is down track shows he is ready for this. also everyone talks about the run A to B, but i would love to hear Tony and Leah"s point of view on how hard B to stop is. when chutes hit and balls not being to one side or the other ( ask Capps) what type of extra protetion did Leah where for her chest? how bad have you got the car bouncing in the shut down area?
