Tony Stewart's dedication to family over racing—does this redefine what it means to be a champion?

Tony Stewart and family are currently holding the hearts of a million fans in their arms this week. They are in the news and for all the right reasons. For the unversed, Leah Pruett delivered a young boy on November 17th, and the couple is happy as a clam. With the delivery, she has transitioned from being a super driver to being a supermom, especially with her medical condition, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.

The condition can impact pregnancy and a woman in ways such as increasing the risk of miscarriage, preeclampsia, and anemia, among other things. It can also impact the baby’s health. The good news is that the family is healthy, happy, and setting goals for couples around the world.

It is also worth noting here that Leah Pruett is a mighty successful drag racer who has achieved 18 NHRA wins. And, among them, she has 12 in the Top Fuel Dragster ranks, three in the Pro Model, and another three in the Factory Stock Showdown. Want to know what her family looks like now?

The latest Stewart family pictures make fans go ‘Aww’

A baby boy held in his mum’s arms, a dad, and a pup standing together in front of a lighthouse near water, sun shining on faces, idyllic, isn’t it? And, that is how beautiful the latest pictures look from the Stewart family. From the glow on Leah’s face, the laughs, and the love to the very sleepy baby Stewart and the farm animals on his blanket, everything is warm and fuzzy.

But, we’d say what Leah Pruett calls her ‘Wild Wild West‘ looks like a picture of serenity and we can’t help but wish the family all the health and happiness. Just look at them:

One fan funnily commented on the fact that they have never seen the 3-time Cup Series Champion in shorts! While NASCAR  drivers usually are in their fire-suit, Stewart maintains his trousers look most of the time, except for this photo where he is enjoying the sun in his shorts. The comment read, “Beautiful pictures. I’ve never seen Tony in shorts.❤️❤️

We know that Tony Stewart wants his wife in the driver’s seat, “I want my wife in a race car. It’s her passion, it’s what I know she loves to do. But she has every intention of getting back in the car,” he said in Query and Company’s July edition.

During her pregnancy, Leah had indicated that Tony Stewart would be subbing in for her, and he did. However, Stewart was all the way in Pomona, California, competing in qualifying when he got the news that Pruett was going to deliver their baby boy. Stewart finished Q4 and flew to the hospital where Pruett delivered little Dominic James Stewart.

Leah Pruett penned a heartfelt note in an Instagram post after delivering her baby boy, where she praised Stewart’s dedication to make it. Stewart did cut the cord as well to welcome his son into the world. the post read “Tony was able to fly in after Q4, as my labor really ramped up, supporting me the entire night.” However, the dad jokes were rolling from Tony Stewart even before Dominic was delivered.

Some time ago, he made a joke about trying to find every way to get out of diaper duty, saying, “I’m trying to find every and any way I can to get out of having to change diapers.” Well, the good news is that the husband of the year might also be the father of the year.

The short three hours that I go to spend with Dominic overnight, you couldn’t put a price tag on it. I would do it all over again for that little boy, my wife, and our family. I didn’t win a championship. I didn’t win a race today, but I feel like I put today in the category of wins and championships.
