“In Other News, the Sky Is Blue” – Tony Stewart Gets the Ultimate Honor but the Fans Are Rather Unimpressed

Much suiting to his nickname, the legendary driver from Indiana, Tony ‘Smoke’ Stewart, is known for causing all the smoke during his glory days in NASCAR. In light of this, the co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing and Hall of Fame driver was honored after the Bristol Motor Speedway race in connection with NASCAR’s golden anniversary this year.

Other than winning close to 50 races in his long illustrious career and competing with a prime Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart is very well known for his three title wins. Also, there is no way we can forget about the controversies that have made him the center of attention countless times in his career.

In connection with the golden anniversary of NASCAR, the organization has announced the first of its 25 drivers who will be honored across the weeks. While this is a big deal, most fans sort of knew about the driver’s presence on the list.

Amidst NASCAR paying its ultimate respect, the community seems unimpressed!

Without any doubt, Tony Stewart is one of the most deserving drivers for the honor. Before instilling his name into the NASCAR world, Stewart also competed busily in the IndyCar scene, where he proved his mettle as the 1997 champion.

Apart from working on his Superstar Racing Experience alongside his partners, Stewart is actively participating in drag racing as well!

Celebrating its 75th anniversary, the league named Tony Stewart to the list of 75 greatest NASCAR drivers of all time. Reacting to this, many from the NASCAR community expressed their delight while others had different ideas!

On Reddit, some even took the opportunity to troll the driver. “In other news, the sky is blue.”

While others shared, “No shit. He’s won 3 championships”

“This was an easy one. It will be interesting to see who the next 24 (GO GORDON) will be before Darlington.”

“If a NASCAR Top 75 driver list doesn’t include Tony Stewart than the list is sh*t.”

“Well no shit. But I love smoke. He was my original favorite driver”

“That’s the least surprising thing I’ve read today. Tony’s a champion and one of the greatest of all time, in multiple series.”

As Stewart has received glory in NASCAR, the majority of fans did not seem surprised to see him on the list. With 2 Cup Series championships as a driver and one as an owner, ‘smoke’ seems to have done it all!

Appreciating the very same fact, the fans said…

“Thanks Tony”

“As he should. Tony Stewart is the only driver to win multiple championships during Jimmie Johnson’s prime, and that was in a field of champions including Busch, Harvick, Truex, etc.

Tony is one of the greatest to ever do it, and one of just 9 drivers ever to win 3 titles, one of just 6 to win 3 in the modern era.

Give this man his flowers. He’s what media wants Larson to be.”

“God that era was so stacked”

After an illustrious career in NASCAR and Indycar, the 51-year-old veteran is currently busy with his promotion SRX Series.
