Really neat watching the dynamic between Tony and Leah. Here he is, multi-Championship NASCAR driver/owner and Championship IndyCar driver, and he's locked in on her like a student to the teacher. She's the expert, he's the learner, and despite "who he is," he sets himself aside and lets her teach him. Props, Mr. Stewart.

@sergeantmasson36693 жыл бұрын
Tony, driving a NHRA top fuel car is no "piece of cake" to do. I've done it and it took me awhile to accomplish getting my NHRA top fuel license. At one time, I owned a NHRA drag racing team and we had two AA/FF cars. One we sold to Jungle Jim Liberman in 1974. That AA/FF long nose Vega car is at Don Garlits drag racing museum in Ocala FL. It's also my You Tube profile photo. BTW, I've been a fan since you first began racing as an adult. Unlike many auto racers, you respect all race car drivers regardless of gender. I also respect that you gave Danica Patrick a chance when nobody else would and she became the most successful female race car driver in auto racing history.
