NASCAR fans do not need an introduction to Tony Stewart. Smoke seems to have done it all when it comes to racing cars, from his early go-karting days to racing in big leagues like Indycar and NASCAR to drag racing, he really has done it all!

For those who are new to the sport, Tony may be an average-looking 52-year-old but don’t let the dad bod fool you. He is a four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion (one as owner) and also the co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing. He is also the only driver in history to win a championship in both Indycar and NASCAR.
