Smoke Speaks: Tony Stewart Through The Years

[@THEDonnyB]

14 and 15 were hard for his fans. I'm proud to say that I stuck it out to the end. I leapt with joy at that Sonoma race.

[@zackevans6329]

can't imagine NASCAR without a little bit of smoke

[@4magnels494]

That said…there’s nothing little about Tony!!!

[@chrismooney5737]

Tony Stewart is hell of a racer that’s true champion and always will be and always will be my favorite driver

[@mr.breeze8796]

Smoke was the ONLY driver I EVER pulled for. A fiery hard-nose champion. When he stopped driving I stopped watching. I'll never forget that first win in Richmond.

[@petermachek6678]

I have been a Stewart fan for years and proud of him . Many would have given up after all he has been thru ! I have met him 4 times now as I am from Ontario Canada . I like that he doesn't take crap from anyone and stands his ground . I have seen him 3 years in a row now in his Sprint car . I like the way Tony drives and takes care of his fans at the end of the night . I appreciate a Driver that gives back . I retired due to a massive stroke 4 years ago at age 56 , every year I can make it to see him race is a bonus to a 39 year weekly stock car track attending fan since 1980 .

He's our generation's A.J. Foyt. The best.

[@CarnorJast1138]

Since he came into NASCAR, he became my most favorite driver. Bobby Labonte was my favorite before him, but when I saw Smoke turn Jeff Gordon in the pits at Bristol, I was hooked...been a fan since and always will be! A true racer, champion, and bad ass! If there is one thing on a "bucket list" I wish I could do, is meet him in person. Even if it's just for a few minutes.

[@chevyblock550]

He might have been a hot head. He might have been stubborn. But if there's one thing no one can disagree with was that his driving style shined in the shadow of that of Dale Earnhardt's. Hard, aggressive, no mercy driving. He will be missed and remembered as one of the last grass roots style racers.

[@royalty890]

I agree, I'm going to miss Tony Stewart so much.

[@rt1110]

Sean Pinder he wasn't a pretty boy, he was a racer! I have respect for him for that.

[@2014cwajts71]

Perfectly said!!!

[@JustinSmithPYRO]

Sean Pinder well said. My favorite driver. One of the last of the older guys. Raced hard, and had the respect on the track. If ya did him wrong he put you in the wall, but if you raced him hard and clean he wouldn't. Hopefully some of the new drivers paid attention to what he said to them.

[@the_road__warrior6185]

Yes, Smoke, Your On my list of all time racing hero’s..

[@randybobandy9243]

Harv is such a good fit for SHR, SHR period is a legit squad. As a Gordon fan & a Rowdy fan, I’ll be the first to tell you that raceday sure isn’t the same without Smoke rustling someones feathers. After all it is drivers like Smoke & Boy Wonder that we have the talent we do today. They sure have set the bar of expectations for today’s crop of drivers.

[@patrickarnold2570]

Still one of my favorites

[@Raven-ch9qr]

US Constitution Rules he committed suicide, he walked onto a track of fast moving cars

[@alabamaskar52522]

[@poker_18rs92]

Is Tony still a NASCAR team owner? Every time I see his posts on IG, he's with Leah Pruett in AZ or somewhere far from a race track.

[@davidv5552]

We love you Tony

[@W4RY3NTRY]

As a kid I never thought of tony as a crybaby. Took shit from no one and said how he felt. True racer. Busch brothers on the other hand. Crybabies.

[@markchappell3583]

[@daviddobson8933]

One of the best drivers in history and the best at driving other types of race cars. Should go down in history as I will drive the wheels off of it.

As much as I'm a fan of him I was doubtful about Stewart-Haas. I'll admit it was kinda surreal because I was used to him being in the 20. Now I always think of him as the 14.

[@Banjo-Banks]

Will there ever be anymore smokes or AJ’s? Will there ever be anymore racers that came from local tracks? Not unless nascar quits $$$$$$$ themselves out of racing. Why doesn’t nascar schedule a dirt modified? Or midget race on dirt? A race car driver like smoke, AJ or Ken Schrader could drive anything.

[@davidv5552]

Don't change

[@byronfan2442]

He is kinda mean but he really deserved wins and a life of racing a lot of people hated him cause he killed Kevin Ward jr It wasn't his fault idiots Kevin walked infront of him and committed suicide

[@2014cwajts71]

Damn right!

[@gtrick64]

Bullshit, hothead ego-maniac Stewart gassed and fishtailed his car into Ward as he drove up to the crash scene while the race was under caution...

Oh don't sweat gdick here. She's a delusional idiot, not to mention a liar.

[@gtrick64]

[@yojoeski]

No doubt that Stewart was the most talented driver in the post-Earnhardt era. He won in everything he ever raced in. I wasn't particularly a fan of his as a driver because I thought he always had a problem when it came to taking it from other drivers. Say what you will about Earnhardt but he took as well as he gave on the race track. Interestingly enough, the most talented driver since Tony retired is one of his own drivers, and that's Kevin Harvick.

[@Banjo-Banks]

Smoke was never a “hot head” in my book just a racer with a racers point of view. And I miss that.

Stewart's will always be known for killing a young Kevin Ward. Ward made the fatal mistake of challenging Stewart's titanic ego on his hometown track over a nothing race. Stewart's out of control temper eventually cost this kid his life.
