Apparently she’s in a family filled with dragster champions. So she has a good family back ground

Legendary Family vs Living Legend. No question this truly was a historic, and legendary race. Congrats to Smoke and Madison. Smoke, you will get yours, in time.

This was just awesome. Both racers outdid themselves. Congrads to Madison and great showing Smoke.

Congrats to Madison Payne, Shelly and father Jay. Your daughter is a natural it's in her DNA . I grew up at the drags helping my family run a comp. Elim. Dragster and watched her mom tear everyone up. That was always my dream to get in the car but it just didn't pan out. I can only imagine how this feels for the whole family. Enjoy this moment you can only get the first once. GREAT JOB!!! 🤩

That win was by such a blip in time that you can’t acknowledge it’s passing. That was a win faster than a blink of an eye. She won that one on reaction time. Wonderful job by that young lady

Imagine being that young and your first win is against Tony Stewart! It may have been his first event but to beat a legend like him for your 1st win would be epic

[@SpartanRacing1989]

Awesome race. They both raced their hearts out.

[@radamus210]

Awesome race! That is tight! This is a win she will never forget! It's too bad they don't include TA on the televised piece, that's competitive racing. I think Tony scored some street cred points this weekend too. I'm actually surprised but then not at all. But I don't think he'll be disappointed much and probably happy that if he had to lose it was to Madison if anyone.

[@fatman123526]

Not always the car with the fastest ET that wins. She got him on the tree.

[@TyTanium1294]

I agree that the lowest ET doesn’t always win, but this wasn’t the typical hole shot win. She did leave .004 sooner but Smoke was already ahead of her at the 60’ mark. Based on the time slips, he was slightly ahead the entire length of the pass until the 1,000’ mark where she came around him. Even when he was ahead though it wasn’t by much. I would’ve loved to see that pass from a car mounted camera looking at the other car…..I’ll bet it was insanely close!

[@fatman123526]

@@TyTanium1294 you do realize the difference in their ET's was 0.004 right? In other words, the exact amount she beat him off the line. Had she been any slower off the line Smoke would have won as he had a faster run through every segment of the race. So again, she clearly beat him on the tree.

[@TyTanium1294]

@@fatman123526 I think you’re missing my point. A typical hole shot win will have the slower car ahead the entire pass…in other words, they gap the faster car at the start and the faster car just isn’t able to run them down. This is not what happened here. They actually passed each other….Smoke passed her early, and she passed him back at the end. Look at her mph, she clearly had a faster car on the big end.

[@fatman123526]

@@TyTanium1294 The margin of victory matched how much she won off the line. Sure she had the higher mph, but if they had matching reaction times Stewart would have won based on the times.

[@MarcusAurelius7777]

BWAHAHA F SMOKE

[@ArnCital]

She beat him on the tree by .004 seconds, her .061 to his .065. That reaction time was the key for her. Kudos for a great race.

Hello handsome how are you doing

[@razorwire3056]

In NASCAR, my favorite driver was always Richard Petty. When he retired, it became Kyle, and from there it was supposed to be Adam. So I didn't get to really cheer for that third generation in a Cup car. It's nice to see it happening in a dragster. I cannot wait to see her in a Top Fuel car. With that said, it was just too much to hope for to see Stewart win a Wally in his first-ever race weekend. He'll get one sooner rather than later.
