Tony Stewart was a one man highlight reel who always kept it 100% honest, much like Mr. Harvick himself. I struggle seeing these once "Young Guns" well into their middle-aged years and retired. Now they're sitting around the fireplace talking about what was and where we are today. Time waits for no one. I'm just happy they're still here and choosing to share their wisdom with us.
@@johnhaas2523not unless nascar does away with the next gen or let them have full horsepower and cut the gimmicks. Tony likes hard to drive really fast cars
I just wanna thank Kevin for not disappearing like most former drivers, he's very valuable to the sport and he's certainly not doing it for the money... You're very professional and a jack of all trades, master of some... 😉
I have been both an NHRA and Nascar fan my whole life, never liked Tony. But i gotta say Friday at Reading this year i saw him in the pits with long line of fans and he signed and took pictures with everybody who wanted one. Hes starting to win me over a bit. I stood there and watched him interact with the fans for a few minutes and he was really good with everybody. So while i might not be a fan of his personally yet ( i'm a JFR guy never liked DSR) I understand and appreciate what it means for the sport to have Tony a part of it. Welcome aboard Tony! Prock 2024😂
very good interview, I loved watching you guys race over the years in Nascar and it's exciting watching Tony drag race. I can't imagine how challenging that is to go from Nascar to the NHRA, but I give Tony a lot of credit for doing it.
This was great! I loved seeing the 2 old friends chat, catch up with Tony and see what a good place he's in. The interview put a little more perspective on the SHR split, the humanized side of it, the toll. Thanks Kevin and Tony!
Wish he coulda ran the 500 more times. I hoped for years and believed he’d come back again and a few years ago it really looked like he was and then I think a couple indycars flipped around that time and his opinion seemed to change sadly seeing Kyle Larson there was pretty cool but not quite as good lol
I miss Tony in NASCAR. It's a shame the direction it's going, and I don't blame him for leaving. Great interview and I'm sure Tony will be a great dad.
Tony, you are in the top upper echelon of race car drivers period. I really idolize you man. I wish I was in the same position you are when I was your age.
The only nascar owner I ever had the courage to try to call. 30 years in the craft of flying, I guess it's all iracing now. nascar lost one of its biggest names, over greed, rules, ambassadors, brand management . Great work nascar. Thank you Kevin good interview.
Very good interview, easy can relate and agree with everything said. Congratulation, you're right, the baby stuff and parenting just come naturally one situation at a time. Enjoy every moment because it will feel like blink between age 1 and high school graduation.
I remember watching Tony at a midget race years before he got to the NASCAR level a saying there’s something special about this kid and boy was I right.
Been a fan since 2000. I went to school to have a career in the sport. I never missed a race. I no longer watch cup races and only watch a few xfinity races. Nascar has taken away everything I fell in love with. The speed, engine noise, hand built 210 mph pieces of art and drivers that were relatable. All the new car has ruined it for me and the drivers are all rich kids..F1 is filling that void
First kid… everything is like, you okay, what happened… by the 2nd and 3rd, you just yell from the other room… are you missing any hands or feet??? No?? You’re okay… walk it off… don’t worry, the blood will wash out… 😂😂😂
I got to meet and work a little with Tony at BRP in 2018 and he's a really cool guy. Likes to play jokes and Rib ya a little. It was a fun weekend. Congratulations on the new baby, you will do fine.
That's hilarious about the baby wrapping up its back...that happened to me the first time my wife left our daughter with me..within oh, 5 minutes after my wife left...bingo!! Great interview, wish you were still racing..
Our son explosion pooped up his back on our trip to myrtle beach when he was 7 months 😂😅 omg I almost spit out my coffee when Kevin was explaining the situation
With all due respect to Tony Stewart but i couldn’t imagine being a first time father at the age of 53. In saying that, some people who are rich have nanny’s who live with them & some don’t even play a part of their child’s youth/upbringing 😑
Man, I’ve always wanted to know… and if anyone here has a link to an interview somewhere of someone asking Kevin this, but I wanna know what it was like for Kevin driving the RCR car, compared to SHR. I mean, Kevin was always a perennial winner/play off driver. But I wanna know what the biggest change that helped him propel into a straight DOG on that track. Was it really just the SHR switch? Did the Gen 6 car just suit his driving style? Because even his last year at RCR (first year of the Gen 6) he was winning 5 races that year. Or did he just peak during that time? Maybe a combination of everything? Kevin was just a monster in that Gen 6 car. He was a deserving champ in 14 (even though I thought Gordon was the best driver that year), but he should’ve won in 15 too, *maybe 16*, 18, and 2020 if not for the format. Kevin is the best Gen 6 driver of all time, even if he only got one championship in that era.
Tony you did the right thing, I thought about it and I don't blame you at all thanks for the racing memories. Sorry I prefer racing not games or over time with in the last 10 laps or so , it's over done.
Successful people utilize the people around them. When your wife is one of the best in the business, you better take note. And surely you would want her total input on everything involved. Congratulations to the Stewart family.
The clock story was great. Crawling into your employees' bed with their wife as revenge while you cover up your "little package" from a shower is incredible.
IMO NASCAR has a lot of problems but none bigger than their mantra that nobody that’s in the sport is important … NASCAR will thrive without them. That’s a bit like Hollywood saying we can put anyone in our movies because the fans only care about the studio. They think that cup will do just fine without Tony and Dale Jr because there will always be someone else to come in and fill that void. That’s true but when you fill that void with people the fans don’t care about the fans go away. Now they find themselves in the situation that Tony just outlined. The money has dried up and what used to be the greatest drivers has turned into a hobby for wealthy people. The decline will continue. But I could be wrong…
wow... I have always wanted to drive a race car, I am 73 now and still dreaming... however, I am the proud father of one daughter and I can tell you for sure - they do NOT come with instructions, you figure it out - period.... one word of advice do not ever ever ever give an infant or even a minor a choice, what you put on the table is what is for dinner no explanation required - none of that "oh but it is good for you" - just put it in front of them and whatever they are wearing --- that is your choice - do not complicate a child's life with choices, they WILL do that for you...
Yeah drastic changes like this “Lego kit car” that leaves NO room for creativity and innovation. More times than not the xfinity races are better exciting races than the cup races Never Never should a stock car be immobilized by a flat tire!?!?!? Come on man!!
Not many people are mad at Joey, they're mad at the system that allows a 15th place driver, with a 12th place running order on the track who has only lead 300 laps to be in this position. Joey has been slow and all 3 of his wins this year were simply because he burned less fuel. That isn't Joey's fault, penske just games the system correctly. The playoff system, unlimited overtimes, the lego car called a race car are the issues
We don't need gun advertisement we have a gun problem in this country as it is Because we've got so many gun nuts with mental health problems and they decide to Do school shootings or whatever anymore and the NRA is a joke anymore compared to what it was When my grandfather was alive
What is your favorite moment from Tony Stewart's career?
I predict that Christopher Bell will win this year's championship in 2024
2011 championship. He came out of nowhere to win it.
@marcusvillarreal And rightly so
@@HoldMyBluntNascar yeah I know
His first win. His comedic personality and humor. His way of racing. His friendliness.
Tony Stewart was a one man highlight reel who always kept it 100% honest, much like Mr. Harvick himself. I struggle seeing these once "Young Guns" well into their middle-aged years and retired. Now they're sitting around the fireplace talking about what was and where we are today. Time waits for no one. I'm just happy they're still here and choosing to share their wisdom with us.
Makes ya feel old, doesn't it? 😅
While I understand why Tony left NASCAR, I really do miss him being in NASCAR. His fiery personality and talent was old school refreshing.
Who knows Maybe he'll come back around NASCAR down the road
@@johnhaas2523not unless nascar does away with the next gen or let them have full horsepower and cut the gimmicks. Tony likes hard to drive really fast cars
yeah and no drivers are being run down too !
Seeing how things are going with 23XI and FRM, I cannot blame Tony for calling it a career in NASCAR. NASCAR has definitely changed and its a shame.
I just wanna thank Kevin for not disappearing like most former drivers, he's very valuable to the sport and he's certainly not doing it for the money... You're very professional and a jack of all trades, master of some... 😉
I'll say what you're thinking. Dale Jr. needs to learn how to do an interview. Kevin Harvick asked Chris Myers and is becoming excellent at it...
Tony is an absolute professional that takes all the feedback he can - I wish I could be more like that.
I have been both an NHRA and Nascar fan my whole life, never liked Tony. But i gotta say Friday at Reading this year i saw him in the pits with long line of fans and he signed and took pictures with everybody who wanted one. Hes starting to win me over a bit.

Could hear tony talk for hours mans got a way of speaking that is awesome to listen to. So much history. Thanks for the years in nascar!
very good interview, I loved watching you guys race over the years in Nascar and it's exciting watching Tony drag race. I can't imagine how challenging that is to go from Nascar to the NHRA, but I give Tony a lot of credit for doing it.
Tony is a kind hearted soul, he and Leah will be great parents. Can’t wait to see Tony Jr…
I am happy that Tony Stewart is happy and not having to deal with NASCAR.
tony's another icon of the sport. along with kevin.
This was great! I loved seeing the 2 old friends chat, catch up with Tony and see what a good place he's in. The interview put a little more perspective on the SHR split, the humanized side of it, the toll. Thanks Kevin and Tony!
I just have loved Tony since I was a young boy.
Yep he was the man
Wish he coulda ran the 500 more times. I hoped for years and believed he’d come back again and a few years ago it really looked like he was and then I think a couple indycars flipped around that time and his opinion seemed to change sadly seeing Kyle Larson there was pretty cool but not quite as good lol
Wow, Tony has a great attitude. He’s truly a down-to-earth guy.
Yeah, what happened to that rageaholic Tony from when he was a driver?
Always been a Tony fan and always will be Great Guy
2 of my most favorite drivers/people.
Great interview!! I watch Tony on NHRA and love it. Wish I could watch Kevin’s races but they aren’t televised. You two are the best!!
Yes they are, tune into flo TV
@@stanbro3thanks. I’ve tried and can’t seem to find his races.
Watching him win the 2 Preludes at Eldora that I went to in 06 and 08 are my favorite memories
2 legends and very successful Business Men , great show 🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
Tony as a dad that child is in for a ride! I worked for DW for a decade. Lucky for DW he had Stevie, lucky for Tony he has Leah!
Tony's greatest thrill every Sunday is watching Ryan preece take the wave around during a stage break 👋
Wish Tony been more of the old Tony and say exactly why he left, instead of the nice way saying it and more truth
Just wait till after they are gone! He might just lay it out there!
What an amazing interview well done 😊
I've been loving the first car stories all season.
Can’t wait for this!
Toney 1 of the few with balls to actually tell it the way it really is.....
I miss Tony in NASCAR. It's a shame the direction it's going, and I don't blame him for leaving. Great interview and I'm sure Tony will be a great dad.
Interesting conversation. I was worried Kevin’s comments last year put a strain on their friendship. Glad to see it hasn’t
I think Kevin was talking about Gene more than Tony
2 of the best Nascar legends in history
Tony, you are in the top upper echelon of race car drivers period. I really idolize you man. I wish I was in the same position you are when I was your age.
Best person you've ever had on your show!!!
Tony will be calling Delana hollering help
The only nascar owner I ever had the courage to try to call. 30 years in the craft of flying, I guess it's all iracing now. nascar lost one of its biggest names, over greed, rules, ambassadors, brand management . Great work nascar. Thank you Kevin good interview.
Thx for sharing brothers, awesome info.

Hang Tuff Big T keep on Rollin You Got This.🏁💪🇺🇸
Tony did a very good breakdown of the differences in drag racing compared to NASCAR.
Tony is right about Nascar.
First kid… everything is like, you okay, what happened… by the 2nd and 3rd, you just yell from the other room… are you missing any hands or feet??? No?? You’re okay… walk it off… don’t worry, the blood will wash out… 😂😂😂
That Home Depot #20 car is still iconic 20 years later
LOVE Tony Stewart in TF. Get Kevin in a car too!
I don't think Kevin has any interest himself now keelan maybe and He did get in the car as that was on social media
Very good episode
I got to meet and work a little with Tony at BRP in 2018 and he's a really cool guy. Likes to play jokes and Rib ya a little. It was a fun weekend. Congratulations on the new baby, you will do fine.
Certainly going to miss Tony’s participation in NASCAR
I miss the days of Tony, Kevin and Dale Jr. My 3 favorite drivers.
That's hilarious about the baby wrapping up its back...that happened to me the first time my wife left our daughter with me..within oh, 5 minutes after my wife left...bingo!!
Great interview, wish you were still racing..
Great video!
Tony was brilliant bailing.out.
NASCAR wants to bring all the fans back, they should bring Stewart back part time in a cup car
If Tony doesn't want to race in NASCAR they can't force it And I can't see Tony driving a next gen cup series car anyway
Kevin Harvick Is Awesome
Leah must really love Tony to be wanting to give him a child let alone at the cost of her racing.
You and Leah will be fabulous parents!
good video! thanks!
Our son explosion pooped up his back on our trip to myrtle beach when he was 7 months 😂😅 omg I almost spit out my coffee when Kevin was explaining the situation
Love Tony. He's not a puppet like these other owners
Tony will be a great dad because he is just a big kid himself. Luckily there will be an adult present, that's why we have wives.
Haha I feel the same way
@@COCarDude it's 100% accurate lol
@@clayguthrie i feel that lol my newborn needs his mama's love more than you know. I just hope I can make it 4 more hours before she comes home lol

As the father of a 2 month old, let me tell you, it's definitely a challenge at first! But its the most fufulling thing you can do!
My favorite Tony Stewart moment was when he won the championship in his 14 car.
Tony you did the right thing, I thought about it and I don't blame you at all thanks for the racing memories. Sorry I prefer racing not games or over time with in the last 10 laps or so , it's over done.
this raisin' kids thing is hilarious!! 🤣🤣🤣
Literally.
100 times
I got my hat signed by Tony Stewart in Norwalk Ohio
Hey Tony, you should make a truck start and show all those boys what it takes to be a real race car driver
Successful people utilize the people around them. When your wife is one of the best in the business, you better take note. And surely you would want her total input on everything involved. Congratulations to the Stewart family.
If SHR was still winning races in cup he wouldn’t be closing the doors!!
2:39 do it for Dale
Tony Stewart’s boy will hence fourth be known as lil smokies
Tony, we've got 2 kids and both are completely different to raise
Should be titled "A hack and a murderer discuss the end of SHR"
The clock story was great. Crawling into your employees' bed with their wife as revenge while you cover up your "little package" from a shower is incredible.
Watch your alarm clocks? More like lock your doors 😂😂
I just want to know if Tony Stewart has thrown a helmet at another drag car.
There’s only three AJ, Ford, Tony Stewart, and Kyle Larson the goats

NHRA is where my money goes when it comes to Motorsport entertainment, I don’t support Nascar anymore!
100% an awesome, much better and cheaper experience for the fans. My favorite part, the pits are included!!
wow... I have always wanted to drive a race car, I am 73 now and still dreaming... however, I am the proud father of one daughter and I can tell you for sure - they do NOT come with instructions, you figure it out - period.... one word of advice do not ever ever ever give an infant or even a minor a choice, what you put on the table is what is for dinner no explanation required - none of that "oh but it is good for you" - just put it in front of them and whatever they are wearing --- that is your choice - do not complicate a child's life with choices, they WILL do that for you...
I always heard you could run like 10 NASCAR races versus one top fuel races is that true for the money?
I'm pretty sure NHRA is more expensive but Kevin has no idea I don't think and The NASCAR on Fox social media team certainly don't know
NASCAR is turning into monster jam
Never forget when Tony grabbed Delana's butt in front of Kevin on pit road. He got all up in there.
First I predict Christopher Bell will win this year's championship in 2024
I hope you right
@@josegonzalez2567 thank you
I have an inside source that tells me Ty won't allow this unless he is also in the chase.
Hello again!

I have not watched a NASCAR race since they banned a Gun MFG Advertisement. I still follow NASCAR News and Nostalgia however.
Remember when the NRA sponsored the Texas race and the NRA was not mentioned on broadcast?
