What I see and love is the humbleness that comes through. Doesn't act like he already knows it all. Willing to be taught by professionals in a different discipline. And bringing your dad is way cool.
All I gotta say as a former hater is... I love seeing Tony get his swagger back. You may not see this, but you are a motorsport legend. Watching you jump into different disciplines makes me appreciate the true embodiment of a racer that you are. Stay safe and have fun!
GIve Smoke some time in it and he could win national events! The man can flat drive anything! Put him on track in dump truck and he'll put it in victory lane! Been a fan of Tony's for a lot of years!
Wow, Leah has got Tony all clean shaven, a fresh haircut. And it looks like Tony has lost a little weight as well. I don't think I've ever seen Tony clean shaven. He must be getting used to it for the wedding. Good for him.
Wow! Smoke & Leah, amazing watching you two interact in these videos. You both have finally found “it”. Congrats and keep on keeping on you guys. 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
@@Cheryl_Haydon yet he didn't want to get back in the car to steer it back to the hauler. I wonder if Smoke needed to change his skivvies after that run?
@@Cheryl_Haydon REALLY? You ever drive a NHRA drag racing top-fuel race car? There's nothing else like it in any auto racing series. 300+ mph in less than 4 seconds is damn sure not easy and can be super dangerous. Many factors are involved just to keep the car going straight. Anything goes wrong, the result can be a disaster and possibly fatal.

@@sergeantmasson3669 I was thinking the same thing. Even with Tony's racing pedigree, one does not just hop in a top fuel dragster. For his safety and the crews. He needs to at a minimum work his way up with other dragsters
The “POWER” couple of 4 wheels. I am excited to watch this unfold, Tony you’re a natural. God bless you guys, stay safe, have fun and a prayer you don’t die before you guys get married. 😂😂 P.S. Leah you’re a great teach keep him in line lol you are so perfect for him.
As a Tony Stewart fan, I think it's cool to see him get behind the wheel of a dragster, he's a competitive guy, he also will see and feel what his future wife does for a living. I also think it's cool that they have each other, they seem to be a good match together. Tony 2 THUMBS UP Man, Stay safe.
Tony is the perfect student. Intelligent, humble and determined. Will his next ride be in a fighter jet. His attention to detail is truly off the chart. I believe Tony can drive and seriously compete in just about anything he wants to. A man that knows his limits is limitless.
You’re dad is awesome. I remember the interview he did on the Tony Stewart: Smoke dvd from back in the day about your Daytona 2001 flip. He’s the dad that all racecar drivers want. Concerned and so proud. Have fun and be safe. Come out to the NHRA race in Baytown this May.

Happy for you Tony , very cool to see you out of your element of circle track and into the world of drag racing ! Probably still smiling from letting it launch . What an awesome couple
Best video I've watched in a while. Having Dad involved made it that much better. Love you guys. Be safe and rock on. ✌️👍🇺🇲 Jeff (JD) in Central Texas.
So glad ur father is their,an watching his son,,bucket list..tks for takin us along,an the way u an Leah talk about about what's going to happen what you feel, is two professionals at each others different fields, just go straight
The racing aspect aside... Tony seems so happy and content these days. I love seeing that. And yes, should he ever decide to compete in NHRA top fuel racing, I could definitely see him in the winner's circle!
Awesome news Tony!! Wish you the best of luck in this adventure. Also sorry to hear about your bad news regarding Eldora. Best dirt track been there many times when I lived in Indiana.
Your dads the man!!! Sat next to him at the Chili Bowl one year as a kid and after the race (that Smoke won) he took me to meet him. A moment I’ll never forget!
Congrats for your dad's birthday and still looks like he's in good health. My dad would be 74 tomorrow but the effects of agent orange finally took him. Glad to see you doing this, it would be cool if this becomes a new and different racing career. John Force may want you to step into his car when he retires.
I was up late watching this. I like the Tony Leah partnership. Anyway, I look at the clock and it's 4:17. Lucky number, that was the famous Donovan purpose built aluminum top fuel motor!
Smoke, thanks for giving us common folk a look inside your life. Been a diehard fan since you hit the Nascar scene. Damn proud you finally found a worthy woman brother! Loved seeing the pride your father shows man! Screw them haters!!!!!
@@rustyshackelford1483 idiot knew better then getting out his car on the track like he did in the middle of a night race 🤷♂️. His anger cost him his life 🤦♂️
What a freaking epic experience, thanks for sharing. Balls of steel as they say to drive one of these rockets. Oddly, I think I'd strap on to a TF/Harley before TF or FC :-)
Smoke you have always been and always will be my childhood hero i am glad you have moved foward and you are still the man congrats on getting engaged to a great person i wish youd come to Tennessee and get on the dirt in my home town
Like there was any doubt Tony wasn't going to try this. Once in a lifetime opportunity. Congratulations on your new found venture. The NHRA would welcome your involvement within the sport as a driver or owner. 👍
@Gary Jackson OK Gary......i've met Smoke when he was a Rookie in Cup Racing and again, yrs later after he beat Carl Edwards like a drum and won his 3rd. The LAST thing he wants to be remembered as is CUTE..... BUT, I'm sure YOU know better....😄 F.YI. ....Cup Champion's Don't "Lighten Up".... You should probably watch Bravo or Lifetime networks. They know how to "Lighten Up"... Ba Bye Gary!!!
First love Nitro, Second Love Jet Fuel…. Same rush no matter the speed, fighters just last longer…. Only a Rocket can go faster… that dream never true, close but no cigar…. Enjoy the ride Smoke… 👍
I have officially become a way bigger fan now :-) LOL Don't get me wrong, always been a fan but when I see the words Tony Stewart and a picture of a Top Fuel dragster, it gets me excited really fast! You have done a ton in and for motorsports and to me personally, this is icing on the cake! There are so many extremely extremely talented people that can tune these cars that aren't working right now and same goes with crew members and drivers. We definitely need more people in the nice ranks from other Motorsports, as well as sponsors and so on. Just like there needs to be a bigger Spotlight on the pro modified classes, especially the big screw blown stuff for example. There is also something really special about working on Drag Racing Engines versus other types because of all the things you do between rounds and at the shop.
Tony, you and Leah were destined to be together. You're my hero still and have been since Davey Allison passed away. You're living the life that I, as well as countless others dream of. Enjoy and coming from the BME Top Fuel team, you ROCKED it. But hey, what have you sat in that you haven't boss. I need a job by the way!!!! Lol
Lol good luck Tony! Remember it’s a controlled explosion of power and grit! Your gonna go faster than your little brain can handle! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁DSR is an amazing group of people!!
No matter the urge, do NOT turn left.
lmao
Most definitely!!!!!!!!!👊👊✌✌
Not at speed. I've never been to this Vegas drag strip. Not sure if the turnoffs are to the right or left.....
What I see and love is the humbleness that comes through. Doesn't act like he already knows it all. Willing to be taught by professionals in a different discipline. And bringing your dad is way cool.
Agree 100% Tony is the man and can drive anything.
This was a sick video! felt like i was there. :)
Big fan man love your videos
Awesome. You guys should team up for a video
LOVE your TH-cam channel and Roadkill!
@Royal Rex Flixzone is for the reach around gang
So....uh
Finnegan......when you getting with Schumacher/Hoonigan for your top fuel ride?
All I gotta say as a former hater is... I love seeing Tony get his swagger back. You may not see this, but you are a motorsport legend. Watching you jump into different disciplines makes me appreciate the true embodiment of a racer that you are. Stay safe and have fun!
Lucky man to have that woman let you drive her car. “Don’t die before we get married” the key to life!
GIve Smoke some time in it and he could win national events! The man can flat drive anything! Put him on track in dump truck and he'll put it in victory lane! Been a fan of Tony's for a lot of years!
Great run... but Happy 83rd Birthday to your Dad!!! How awesome you shared this experience with your Dad... 🎂🍻🇺🇸

Why wasn't this on T. V.?!!! I'm so glad that I saw this in my feed! You go Smoke! I'm still ticked off at not seeing this on the tube!
Tony has all the FUN!! Wow!!
Good thing his Dad didn't show up in a Northface coat and hat when Smoke said : "Pack warm clothes"
Been a while since I've seen your dad. Still a humble happy guy. God bless him
I remember that smile back in 2000, Go Getem Smoke!
That look in his eyes during launch says it all. "OMGOMGMGOMGOMGOMG"
This is the best, for many reasons. So cool your dad could be there too! Balls of steel, years of experience and amazing talent. #Blessed 👍🏼😎

It'd be awesome if DSR would put another dragster in an event with you in the seat for a national event, especially the U.S. Nationals!! Get'm Smoke
This is an amazing love story thank you guys for taking us a long for the ride thanks BigAl California praise Jesus grace Christ amen.
Great video! We get to live vicariously through you. I'm glad you recognize how lucky you are. My girlfriend drove a rusty '74 Duster.
This is one wild ride. Can't wait to see the full run. Your Dad looked as giddy as a school boy. Congrats Smoke
Whenever Smoke snaps down that visor, he means business! So good to see Nelson! 🏁🏁🏁
She's a keeper dude
But you're dad's reaction
Got me
GET SOME!!!
Very interesting 🤔 Really enjoyed watching. You both are special people with nerves of steel !!! Great job to all !!
What an experience. Thanks for taking us along Smoke.
Thanks Tony and Leah for taking us on this adventure. Smoke I have been a fan since your Indy Racing days. Still holding out hope for a 500 win...
Great Smoke and I’m glad you’re dad was there to share the moments with you,the best for you and Leah for the future!!!
Good for you, Smoke!
This is so cool to watch this journey of yet another successful chapter in your life ...
That’s what you call an adrenaline rush. Much respect for being able to do that.

So cool for him to open up and share his learning process on this!
AWESOME Video...All the Best Tony & Leah.!
This is like it would have been like watching A.J. Foyt driving Garlits car back in the day. Pretty sure A.J & Tony can just about drive anything.
Hello Tony and Leah that was a AWESOME run you did Tony for your first time Wishing you both well Take Care
Never cease to amaze Mr Stewart.
Lets Go Smoke, be Awesome to see him un retire and drive Top Fuel nitro, you got this
