After Dubious Apology for Larry Nassar Comment, Pat McAfee Blown Away by Tony Stewart’s Revelation About Wife Leah

Former NFL punter Pat McAfee has been a hot topic of discussion since Monday. After lashing out at former American sports medicine osteopathic physician Larry Nassar, McAfee faced criticism for his comments. Nassar’s being a part of one of the most controversial and dreadful cases in American sports history hasn’t helped much either.

All these events have one show at the root, The Pat McAfee Show, on which the ESPN analyst laid out his views on the crimes of Nassar. In the latest episode of the popular show, NASCAR legend and three-time champion Tony Stewart appears, and his revelations have shocked McAfee.

Pat McAfee voices his dislike for Formula 1 racing

The conversation begins with Pat congratulating Tony Stewart on a fantastic career that boasts a resume. The Stewart-Haas Racing co-owner is the only race car driver in history to win an IndyCar and a Cup Series championship. Quite the distinction for any racing enthusiast to have. As the show moves forward, the group gradually comes to understand the differences between the various racing segments Tony has been involved in.

“IndyCar, they’re going 230 miles an hour, a different style of racing, and NASCAR going 199. So two different speeds. F1 going… what are they doing?”

“ I think the fastest they go is like 190-185.” replies the 52-year-old. McAfee then takes an unexpected turn with his words to express his displeasure over F1 races. Being a former member of the Indianapolis Colts, he knows a thing or two about the racing culture and the craze for it in the region. Indianapolis, host to one of the world’s most prestigious races, the Indy 500, is one of the major hubs of racing in the country.

” I want to let you know. This is not even me taking a stand for Indiana now that I’m an Indiana resident and everything like that. My wife and her family are massive IndyCar fans. That F1 thing, I don’t understand how people like it. It is so fu***g boring. You probably can’t say you’ve probably raced over there. But I don’t like that style of racing.”

Tony is known for trying his hand at various forms of racing, including dirt track racing, which he has been a big proponent of. He has also started his own racing series, the Camping World SRX Series, which has been a major attraction for many superstars from not just NASCAR but all race car drivers.

“I enjoy IndyCar, and I enjoy NASCAR, but what you’re about to do here in a few weeks in Indianapolis, and I think you have a couple of cars and drag racing is the real deal.” claims McAfee after denouncing F1 surprisingly.

Coming to the category of Top Fuel, which has been a revolution in drag racing and paved the way, Pat shows some curiosity to learn about the capabilities of Funny Cars and NHRA Top Fuel Dragsters. But this is when Tony Stewart says something that leaves the College GameDay analyst aghast.

“Yeah, both the top fuel and funny cars run over 330. My wife drives this car.“ says Tony. This statement shakes up

McAfee, who, although aware of female drivers making headway into such forms of racing, Tony Stewart’s wife, Leah Pruett, is a driver for their team, Tony Stewart Racing, in the NHRA Top Fuel dragster races and is already a part of its history. The 2018 NHRA Factory Stock Showdown World Champion has also won this season at Denver and is a popular face on the circuit.

On being asked about the G force exerted on the driver in the car, Tony says, ” 6G force is positive when they leave, and when they hit the chutes, it’s negative six and a half Gs. 12G force swing.” 

12 g of force is tough for any driver to handle and only underlines the difficulty and standard of racing in the Top Fuel and Funny Car segments.

McAfee is in deep waters for bashing Larry Nassar

Pat had to answer questions about his statements about Nassar, who has been charged with 175 years in prison for his heinous acts of sexual abuse under the disguise of a physician. Coincidentally, McAfee and Nassar are alumni of the same institution, Michigan State University. The former American football player made no effort to condemn Nassar’s questionable acts against the unfortunate victims.

“There is an all-out onslaught against me right now for simply linking a terrible thing from a school to the most terrible thing from the school to a friend in a reply tweet, talking s**t to a friend, I do apologize if some people took that in a different way and then spun it in their own narrative to offend a bunch of other people and kind of did that whole thing.” said McAfee in a previous episode of the Pat McAfee show.

He also used the accusations to strengthen his claims and retaliated at the critics, saying, “Does it feel like some Michigan State alums are trying to silence the media, whenever they acknowledge Larry Nassar, one of the most horrible humans, ever, of all time, he was at Michigan State for 14 years. So that’s not really a part of the story. They kind of created and empowered, and yeah, so like, if that’s going to get us canceled…”

The case of Larry Nassar has been a sensitive topic of discussion and continues to divide people into factions. Many people, like McAfee, have not backed out of being vocal about the case that ended in 2018, with the imprisonment of the guilty.
