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.
I like the part where he was trying to scare/fuck with someone at a dirt track and he goofed and ended up overdoing it a little to far and killed the guy but, Tony got off. -phew right
michelle thompson, Nelson Stewart is Tony's greatest fan. He's been there, for Tony, since 1979 when tony began racing go-karts. Needless to say that Tony has one super proud dad.
Tony,up in smoke.. you just amazed the heck out of me. Your dad is so proud of you. We all are. God bless the 2 of you,you compliment each other so well. Love it..🤗🌴🌊✌🌊🙃🥰
@@joshpitts7256 You might want to take a look at their records.I suspect you probably wouldn't want to say that in front of AJ.He thinks a lot of Tony,and he might just knock you on your ass.
Tony’s got more NASCAR success, but AJ has more open wheel success, plus AJ is the only driver to win the Indianapolis 500, the Daytona 500, the 24 Hours of Daytona, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. But drivers tend to specialize now, except there’s a few who will race anything.
This was awesome! I love Tony and Leah together. Also that she seems to fit in great with his Dad. I love Leah’s knowledge the two of you are a solid pair.
Got to meet her at the Southern Nationals in Atlanta and I have to say it meant a lot for her to come out and spend time signing autographs and taking pictures with us especially since it was the last ever Southern Nationals. She truly is a class act. Got to see Smoke there as well working in the background with the team.
Ol Smoke is a bad ass race car driver!! No matter what he’s in he gives it 110% god bless this Indiana boy!! Go get em Smoke!! And thank you for keeping Earls Famed Eldora Speedway a Mecca of everything In dirt Racing!! This man shows what shear determination, patience and confidence can bring!! Thank you Anthony Stewart!! Thank you!!
As a fan I think it's awesome that your doing this, it would be cool if you chose to come out of retirement and did the dragster thing. Leah and you make a great team, but also a great couple. Cool that your Dad was there to watch it with you.
This is a constant reminder of why he has been DOMINATING any motor sport at any level.. I actually like him more because so many hate on him! What a LEGEND of a man
This is such an awesome adventure for Tony and what better teach then Leah The Power Couple of 4 wheels. TS can not go wrong with this, you can see him just soaking in all that is being given, he is a perfectionist. I truly wish this duo nothing but happiness success and love. 🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸👏👏♥️❤️
I love this ! Tony I really hope you are able to to have at least 1 entry as a driver in a National Event. Drag Racing sure could use your PR magic. Thank You for sharing this personal experience !!! NHRA Drag Racing is the best form of Motorsports.
Absolutely LOVED this! Tony, you are The Man & I just love you & Leah together! Extremely cool that your Dad was there to see this in person! HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY Smoke! Here’s to 50 more!🍻👊🏻 Also, we share a Birthday today!😁
This behind the scenes look should explain the “ why”that Smoke is such an iconic racer. Following his dream and although a different path, of his hero -AJ! Leah and Tony together is amazing. The whole process of all of it is great to watch. 👍👍
Loved Tony for a long time! ALMOST 15 Years! The racing renaissance man, can win in anything he sets his mind to.... Oh, Him and Leah make a wonderful couple!
I as a kid started watching racing in the mid eighties. Gurney was done, Andretti was starting his end, Foyt, Uncle Bobby and Al Sr. were wrapping up. I never got to see McLaren, Miles, etc. Tony, whether he was "your" driver or not was that guy who could succeed in anything and would drive it if had wheels. He's the "last" of those guys and he is still making them proud.
“The teacher becomes the student” from Indy to NASCAR & now drag racing. Tony Sir? You are humble for to go back to start fresh in a whole new segment of racing where you took time out to learn and excel at it. You both got it locked😊👊🏼
@@larrytaylor4482 why? NHRA is the best ticket in sports. John Force won two weeks ago & gave an amazing interview. I guess you were never really a fan.
@@gasolinedreams2691 I've been watching since the mid 70s. Ever since Scott Kalitta died it became a commercial nightmare and uninteresting. Just my opinion.
@@larrytaylor4482 gonna have to disagree there. I do miss the full quarter mile, but the sport is still great to watch and has some highly competitive racing. They got rid of the NASCAR-esque "countdown to the championship" and now it's just pure racing. And they still keep finding ways to wring more speed out of them. When they went to 1000 ft I thought we'd never see 330 mph again but they're doing it again, Robert Hight has even hit a high 339.
Happy for you Tony! Its good to see you happy and having fun with your lady. Nascar has went down so much without you junior mark,senior, the allison's, your a champ, just have fun br relax feel the love
TONY, YOU CONTINUE TO JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZE US WITH YOUR DEDICATION, DETERMINATION AND OUTRIGHT TALENT IN ANYTHING THAT HAS LOTS OF HORSEPOWER. HAVE NEVER SEEN A MORE VERSATILE DRIVER IN ANY AND ALL DESCIPLINES OF MOTORSPORTS. BET YOU WOULD "SMOKE" 'EM IN F1. THANKS FOR ALWAYS GIVING IT 110% 110 % OF THE TIME. PLUS BEING A GREAT HUMAN BEING. LEGEND.
Very impressed and not suprised at all that smoke is doing good in the early stages of top fuel drag racing. His attention to detail and driving skill are what makes him a champion. Best damn all around driver period. Go Tony go.
I've been a Tony Stewart fan since his time in Indy...I think it is so great that he has his Father with him in all he does. Smash that loud pedal Smoke!!
The absolute best one-word description of Tony Stewart is: Racer. He is definitely hardcore. I've always been impressed with his total dedication and commitment to motorsports. I would have loved to have seen a 20-year old Tony Steward in a Formula 1 car. I'm confident that he'd have been very competitive. Nevertheless, it's really cool to see him in a Top Fuel car. Kudos to Leah Pritchard...great racer and coach too.
i was just going though youtube and seen this ... love it that TONY is back into Racing ....its in your blood brother ... keep it up Indiana wants you back at the track NHRA
Kudos to Tony and Leah for the “getting married” announcement. Won hell of a team. I completely agree with other commenters that this is what NHRA needs. It’s also heartwarming that Tony has “pops” at the dragstrip, too. I don’t recall AJ Foyt climbing and out of dragsters …. Huge “Smoke” fan is happy to see you on the track again.
This is so great, try one of the greatest things I've seen in years! This is badass awesome job catching the sound of the car title by the way! People don't even understand how fast it is to go four and a half seconds to the 8th mile or 4 seconds or three-and-a-half let alone the ability to go in the 2.9 range at basically 300 miles an hour just to 8th mile! I always hoped you would jump in something like this, but with him and Leah being together and then working with DSR, badass man truly badass!
It is fantastic your Dad is with you, and oh... your birthday is coming up! I remember your birthday is close to mine... so Happy Birthday early to you! 🎂🎈🎂🎈
Maximum fun there! That is awesome to do w your pops. Got to race modifieds and late models w my dad before he passed. Some of the best memories of my life! Fun to watch. I would be watching a lot more drag racing if Smoke hoped in one for a season!
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.
You are lucky to have a dad like Nelson. I met him when I worked on your shop in brownsburg. I believe he even invited himself to our church hog roast we had. Super good man!
Favorite Nascar driver, the way he has supported and promoted dirt track racing... my favorite Nascar team, why Kevin Harvick has been my favorite... this is frikin awesome

Yeah, he's a real killer.
@@tlaf-yh2px Bro, don't bring that crap here.
Love it! A man with many different types of racing equipment under his belt and it shows what a talented driver he is.
Tony really is a driver who can master pretty much anything
@@calebBalls69 he is one of, if not the only driver to win both IndyCar and Nascar Cup series championships
TreyClay2016 he also won championships in midget , sprint , and USAC silver crown . Tony’s the man !!
Very arrogant and unlikable.
@@tlaf-yh2px you shouldn't talk down on yourself like that. I know that's a childish response but it's all that your childish complaining warrants.
I've been watching Tony since the beginning and I always said he can drive and win in anything with wheels
I like the part where he was trying to scare/fuck with someone at a dirt track and he goofed and ended up overdoing it a little to far and killed the guy but, Tony got off. -phew right
I love the fact that Tony's dad is there with him during all of this!!
Without family and friends its not but half as cool
It kind of shows how much potential a person can realize with family support.
I raced legends cars with Nelson for many years. He is a great guy. Still a damn good driver too.
🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁👍👍👍👍

Someone that just loves driving and any type of racing and wants to do it all. A true legend
Tony,up in smoke.. you just amazed the heck out of me.
Your dad is so proud of you. We all are.
God bless the 2 of you,you compliment each other so well. Love it..🤗🌴🌊✌🌊🙃🥰
Really cool. Tony IS the modern day AJ Foyt!
He wouldn't make a Pimple on AJ's Ass...

@@tlaf-yh2px Tony didn't kill anybody,that fool committed suicide!
This was awesome! I love Tony and Leah together. Also that she seems to fit in great with his Dad.
I love Leah’s knowledge the two of you are a solid pair.
Tony finally found himself a woman that he respects because she can talk the talk and walk the walk.
Just frigin Awesome Smoke! I am also impressed at the way Leah is teaching him along the way. She seems to be a good instructor.
Got to meet her at the Southern Nationals in Atlanta and I have to say it meant a lot for her to come out and spend time signing autographs and taking pictures with us especially since it was the last ever Southern Nationals. She truly is a class act. Got to see Smoke there as well working in the background with the team.
Yes, Leah Pruett is an awesome young woman. BTW, she and Tony Stewart are engaged to be married.
@@sergeantmasson3669 yep they sure are. I wonder if he's gonna be doing any top fuel races

How does he taste?
Living the dream, fast car , beautiful woman and ur dad there to enjoy it with u. Way 2 go
This is a perfect scenario for Tony, gets to race another form of racing, has a good partner by his side and doesn't have to race every weekend.
o snap i thought she was just giving him knowledge lucky dude shes a dime well guess he's still getting the masterclass
Amazing to watch him drive anything. Love seeing Tony so happy!
As a fan I think it's awesome that your doing this, it would be cool if you chose to come out of retirement and did the dragster thing.

absolutely! effing AWESOME

This is incredible! Such a big smoke fan and a drag racing fan! They are a match made in heaven…♥️
It’s nice that tony is branching out to other forms of motor sports

This whole ordeal is making me a TS fan, always respected his talent but doing this takes balls and I hope he chooses to run a season. NHRA needs this

Takes guts to climb in one of those sleds I can't even imagine how that feels He ain't scared and that's a fact
It's a rush but the top fuel drag boats make these top fuel cars feel like driving a Prius
@@sneauxman3673 a drag boat probably beats your ass off I've waterskied when I was young couldn't do it now
One of the very very few race car drivers that can actually handled racing in any form of car. That takes Talent
He's a killer on dirt!
Met Tony at Dover years ago, class act. Looks like he will do very well at this too.
Love that Tony has stepped into Leah's world and is loving it. Can't wait to see more and to watch Leah become a Champion this year.. Its her time
They better be bringing him a car to the US Nationals. That would be beyond bad ass
The US Nationals are in Indy right?
Absolutely LOVED this! Tony, you are The Man & I just love you & Leah together! Extremely cool that your Dad was there to see this in person! HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY Smoke! Here’s to 50 more!🍻👊🏻 Also, we share a Birthday today!😁

I'm so damn excited for the possibilities of this. Looking forward I'm seeing an awesome show. Get it sir
Tony you are a natural,you can drive anything I wish you the very best because I eventually want to see you alongside your wife driving top fuel.

Great job Love how you pick things up so fast Way to go Smoke
I love how excited Tonys dad gets!
Rockin it Tony. Fantastic
I have been a fan of his since I was 10 years old. I never thought in a million years he would want to get into drag racing. I stand by him and 110%.
Have you ever been to a top fuel event? If not go to one and then you would know why. Not being a smart ass so don't take it that way
“The teacher becomes the student” from Indy to NASCAR & now drag racing. Tony Sir? You are humble for to go back to start fresh in a whole new segment of racing where you took time out to learn and excel at it. You both got it locked😊👊🏼
This is the most entertaining thing I have seen in a minute ....thank you.
NHRA needs a star like Tony to give the sport a shot in the arm. I hope he puts a team together asap.
If that happens, I will start watching again, until then...nope!

Love it, great job Smoke !

Bravo brother , a whole new adventure , Awesome
Love you and Leah working out your skills. You are going to be AWESOME!!!!
♉️ that’s a birthday treat, car seems wicked too 🤘🏽
I'd say it's just like anything else you race, you're naturally good at it. That's the definition of a racer. You my friend are a racer.
Tony did a great job. This was excellent. Leah does this all the time and that blows me away. She is much braver than I am that is for sure.
Look at the size of the rock on her hand!! I'm so happy for Tony still involved in racing in some form or another.

Tony Stewart is so diverse and excels in all motor sports. My favorite - watching him race on dirt tracks!
Conspiracy theory: Smoke and Leah are getting married. Leah wants to start a family, and Don wants to put Tony in Leah’s seat.
Just awesome. You gave me chills. Not everyone just steps into top fuel. ATTA BOY
i was just going though youtube and seen this ... love it that TONY is back into Racing ....its in your blood brother ... keep it up Indiana wants you back at the track NHRA
John Force is still winning at 72, Tony can totally have a second career here!
Yeah that is my take from this, like "is he setting up a new future challenge".
Well Smoke! You have totally evolved! Now drag racing and you landed Leah Pruett’! You’ve lived a full life my friend!
That was amazing!! No wonder your a multiple champion.
Awesome run. That’s got to be the ultimate ride

Loving seeing that Fatheadz gear. They have been so good to our iracing cup series.
Amazing talent !!!!
Always loved smoke great to see him loving his new adventure
