Proud of you! Hope to see you at a future "Nitro Chaos" event. It's basically the Outlaw Sprints of drag racing! All run, and one rule (must have nitro in the tank)! Thanks for giving the sport of drag racing a new breath of life!
I'm glad Tony's injoying dragracing and unfortunately stock car racing is and always will be my first love but the Nascar France family have Todo majar changes
Hey Tony ! Thanks for the behind the scenes look, I can't wait to get back to NHRA drag racing in 2024. Good luck to you, Leah, and Matt this race season ! Ike from IH Racing
I want to get a job for one these teams driving one of the rigs from race to race. I have class A cdl. And 20yrs of drag racing experience. I can help with the car/team in any other way while there too, not just park the truck.
Tony, keep up this kind of behind the scenes content like clay millicans channel and i believe the channel will blow up. Personally i love this type of content. Thanks for putting it out. Good luck this year. Rooting for your team. Lets get Kurt Busch out in Pro Stock. That would be awesome also.
I can't agree more. Behind the scenes stuff is the best content you can get in drag racing, in my opinion. You can watch the cars go down the track anywhere else, but getting a look into all stuff that makes up a run, its unbeatable footage.
Tony I just subscribed to your channel and keep watching a flywheel racing main at all forms including on NASCAR witches I was at the Vegas race good luck on the channel man only guy I know that can drive all kinds of cars in this day and age I used to be things back in the day you had drivers like a.j. foyt Mario Andretti I could do it on so in the words of a.j. foyt that's a big sure and also for certain sure
That's exactly what you have to do when the car you're up against is faster and is cutting good lights you have to take a shot at the light and that's what Smoke did hell yeah brother!
Yeah, old chubbs McKenzie will probably run over and murder the person who beats him in his first race! Or he will tell a fan he ain't got time for pictures or he will dish it out but old chubbs can't take it. He likes to start fights and then lets his crew fight for him! He is a murdering POS who paid Kevin Ward's parents a settlement with a nda so they can't talk about the case! That is not what an innocent person does.
And that's why this sport is turning to shit. People care more about who the driver is than just watching the badassery that is top fuel. IHRA sanctioned events were the best, then the NHRA took over and gives us half the action for twice the cost....
Tony, I'm not surprised by how quick that you are growing in the sport, because that's how you are made...to learn everything that you can about whatever you're doing; racing or wake boarding so that you know what kind of boat that you can get for Leah. You are made to give your best to whatever is before you.
Long time fan Tony! So excited to see your NHRA journey. I already follow Clay Millican, so I see Leah once in awhile over on his videos...looking forward to more from you!
Spoken like a true professional, “ that’s why we’re here, experience makes you better, that’s the only way you learn, but “ losing sucks” that hasn’t changed “ I still hate losing no matter what” 👍
Having been a long standing fan of NHRA, and having tge great fortune to attend a few events I had firsthand experience with the what seems to be chaos, is in truth an extremely organized massive event. It doesn't matter which field a person looks at, they are all very busy between runs. I tip my hat in respect to the small armies that makes it all possible. I am talking about the crew that takes care of the grounds and the facility, to the sponsors, and of course to the faces of the sport...the race teams themselves.
My favorite driver of all time,cool your learning another sport,still use my #20 grill weiner holder hahahahaha,good luck in the future and safety first,now SMOKE them.
Kicking Ass and Taking Names !! Awesome way to begin the season being the new guy.Smoke you still and always be my favorite. Y'all be safe out there ✌🏻🇨🇱
I love you Tony, your competitiveness is second to none. That is the fire needed in drag racing. You have mastered everything before this, and I have NO DOUBT you will master this.
This is a new Tony Steward from when I used to watch NASCAR. I remember *ANYONE* with a camera was fair game. haha. You know what to expect with him, and he's always been consistent. I can always appreciate someone like that.
Tony followed you dirt racing. Nascar Died with Dale but I've always been a NHRA fan Smoke & Clay please keep up behind the scene's at the track and car ....
Wow watched all weekend then this insight thanks Tony hope to meet you again in Seattle last time I shook your hand you won in Watkins Glen in New York
Tony the first time I met Leah was 35 years ago when she was piloting nostalgia nitro funny cars at Sacramento raceway. I took a picture with her and just like today I still have those photos. I also have photos with Matt Hagan. One of these days smoke you will win in top alcohol dragster.
At the 7:00 mark I saw a look I remember well. You were driving for Danny Leary in his midget. You came in after the second practice. You got out of the car and walked up to all of us smiling. You patted Danny on the shoulder and said " we got this one Danny". We left with the hardware.
this behind the scenes stuff is REALLY cool to see, keep it up tony! been watching you my whole life and ive been a drag racer at heart, i started Jrs at 8 so its awesome to see your transition
Tony, good luck throughout your 2023 NHRA season . Everyone red lights sometimes. Otherwise your not trying . Will see you in Las Vegas Dale B. In Vegas
Smoke will go down as the most natural racer EVER in motorsports, he's the new Dos Equis most interesting man of racing!!! Long time fan lovin seeing you enjoy life having fun. Good luck!!!
Tony congrats on Leah and Matt's win. Tough loss for you, but your catching on quickly. Good luck in the future. By the way Leah and Matt are two of my favorite Drivers.
Tony, always been a fan. As a 1960's drag racer and retired master mechanic, I applaud your continued career changes. Marriage and kids slowed me but never gave up following.
Excellent content, presentation was exceptional. Smoke is making NHRA more interesting than NASCAR. Now we just need to figure out what to do about all the strip closures just as the sport seems to be in a period of resurgence.
Tony found your channel and I love it keep it up. I have a lot to catch up on but I am 70 and have some time I guess. I live west of kokomo Indiana. My grandson is stationed in California Port Hueneme Naval Base. He is getting his schooling for the Air Force in vehicle maintenance. Him and some of his squad are going to work at the race at Ponoma in the pit area I told him there is another Indiana going to be there. The best of luck to you and your whole team and congratulations on all of the new things going on in your life .
great job hope to see you in bristal im 66 and disabled but some way and some how im coming to bristol to see your teem win. all 3 cars. been a fan of yours for ever. you friend rocky. from rockytop tenn.
REALLY happy Leah brought you to drag racin'! They say NITRO is addictive (YEP). Your enthusiasm is awesome (your EYEs were huge after your last pass--drag racing has set it's hook in you--ENJOY!)
Proud of you! Hope to see you at a future "Nitro Chaos" event. It's basically the Outlaw Sprints of drag racing! All run, and one rule (must have nitro in the tank)! Thanks for giving the sport of drag racing a new breath of life!
So happy he is out of the mess called NASCAR. Great things come to great people. Congratulations Tony.
I'm glad Tony's injoying dragracing and unfortunately stock car racing is and always will be my first love but the Nascar France family have Todo majar changes

Really awesome to see your success in NHRA growing and growing. You’re a true Motorsport legend and champion. Keep on soaring to the top!

❤ You guys are AWESOME 🤘 THE NHRAWILDMAN, BILL from Gainesville race way 🌴
Stewart made me an NHRA fan. Seeing him in a dragster just looks rite.
Yeah, old chubbs McKenzie will probably run over and murder the person who beats him in his first race! Or he will tell a fan he ain't got time for pictures or he will dish it out but old chubbs can't take it. He likes to start fights and then lets his crew fight for him!

Tony, you can race and win in anything run. You look happy again. Best to you both..🙏🙏❤️❤️🐾🐾
Tony deserves every win he gets, he's worked hard for everything he has. And, he as the absolute best parts money can buy.
Agree!❤
TONY!!! AWESOME to see in a drivers suit and not in the press booth in a penguin suit 😅😅😅
Gatornationals, got to be perfect. T Stew will get a Wally.
great job Tony its cool to follow you to new adventure i hope to see you in Brainard some day !!!
Tony, I'm not surprised by how quick that you are growing in the sport, because that's how you are made...to learn everything that you can about whatever you're doing; racing or wake boarding so that you know what kind of boat that you can get for Leah.

I'm really glad to see you get into drag racing! Hope to see you at Pomona!
This is a new Tony Steward from when I used to watch NASCAR. I remember *ANYONE* with a camera was fair game. haha. You know what to expect with him, and he's always been consistent. I can always appreciate someone like that.
You Da Man Smoke!! I'm so glad I can rout for you again. Can't believe it's so hard to find a driver to pull for in Nascar.
Taken a page out of Clay Milicans book. Nice job!!
Tony followed you dirt racing. Nascar Died with Dale but I've always been a NHRA fan Smoke & Clay please keep up behind the scene's at the track and car ....
It's going to be an awesome season in the NHRA. We needed TSR to replace DSR.
Looking forward to seeing you in a T/F dragster soon, right????

Nothing like the smell of nitro in the evening...
Ask Tony if he misses NASCAR Politics Penalties and fines?

I'm smelling Smoke in a fuel car in 2024. Most likely a Funny Car...unless he has a very comfortable couch.
Smoke will go down as the most natural racer EVER in motorsports, he's the new Dos Equis most interesting man of racing!!! Long time fan lovin seeing you enjoy life having fun. Good luck!!!
Tony congrats on Leah and Matt's win. Tough loss for you, but your catching on quickly. Good luck in the future. By the way Leah and Matt are two of my favorite Drivers.

10:08 min, is Tony really racing an alcohol car? This thing sounds and looks like one of those N/A Nitro dragsters.

How many top NHRA classes will we call Smoke "CHAMP" in?
Oh boy, you're hooked now. Drag racing has to be the most addictive drug there is.
REALLY happy Leah brought you to drag racin'! They say NITRO is addictive (YEP). Your enthusiasm is awesome (your EYEs were huge after your last pass--drag racing has set it's hook in you--ENJOY!)
Tony is the next generation of AJ Foyt and Kyle Larson is the next generation of Tony Stewart!!
Yeah, you didn't like it too much when I beat you at Indy 500 on the Atari. LoL
4 a guy used to going 2hundred -- wonder if 270 gets his attention even if only for a second or 2 ???
Glad you made it to drag racing. You'll be hooked for life!!!
