Tony Stewart is the kind of driver who has done it all when it comes to racing cars, from racing go-karts in his younger days to becoming a NASCAR legend. The 3-time Cup Series champion now has his eyes set on the drag racing scene and is heavily invested in it—both as a driver and a team owner.
Having multiple investments in racing teams and having his own league, the Superstar Racing Experience, Tony might be the best driver to do it all. During an appearance in a recent episode of the popular podcast, Bubba the Love Sponge Show, Tony revealed some of his thoughts in and out of racing.
During the conversation, the host took his time to ask Tony, “Are you retired?” Tony, in his usual matter-of-fact tone, replied, “No, not at all, not even close, I just keep shifting around.”
