Tony Stewart’s Team’s Sloppy Attempt to Hop on Taylor Swift Bandwagon Shakes Racing Community

Tony Stewart, the man with a need for speed and a knack for success, has transcended the confines of traditional stock car racing. Stewart‘s racing prowess knows no bounds; he’s conquered the drag strips, left his mark on the dirt tracks, and even ventured into uncharted territory by launching his own racing series. The man’s an entrepreneur on wheels, and his racing spirit burns brighter than ever.

Since bidding adieu to the Cup Series in 2016, Stewart’s remained anything but idle, living the “be everywhere, do everything” life. His latest venture, the SRX Series, boasts half a million viewers per race, with elite drivers rolling out to showcase their skills on short tracks, captivating fans across the nation.

Tony Stewart’s unusual retirement journey defies the norm

Tony Stewart, known as much for his NASCAR career as his other feats in IndyCar, dirt, sprint, and drag racing, and as a team owner and promoter, encountered an unexpected challenge in retirement. During an appearance on The Bullring on Racing America, Stewart humorously admitted, “I’m telling you, I’m the one person that has catastrophically failed at retirement.”

Despite his bustling involvement in Stewart-Haas Racing, NHRA drag racing, and the Camping World SRX Series, Stewart finds himself busier than ever. His championship-winning career has now led him to an unexpected area of struggle: the social media game.

At 52 years old, Stewart actively manages Tony Stewart Racing Nitro in the NHRA Championship Drag Racing Series, with star drivers Matt Hagan and Leah Pruett. However, a recent social media misstep by the TSR team has brought unexpected scrutiny. An image featuring pop sensation Taylor Swift sparked a frenzy among fans when posted on Instagram.

The recent photoshopped image featured Swift celebrating with drag racing’s most prestigious trophy—the Wally trophy—with the caption “@taylorswift knows this is how real winners celebrate on Sunday.” This triggered a wave of reactions from fans. While intended to be light-hearted, the post did not sit well with many, leading to a barrage of comments.

One fan expressed their disappointment with the team reflecting a common tendency in the world of sports where fans sometimes intertwine their political beliefs with their favorite teams or athletes, saying, “Well I’m definitely no longer a TSR fan! You keep up the great liberal support.”

Another comment showed disbelief, asking, “Is this REAL???” While some fans didn’t hold back their frustration, with one uncalled comment reading, “Really!!!! Taylor Swift She’s a f- – king troll.” One comment added, “I’ll cut a .001 walking away from her! and I’m a nobody.” 

Another comment noted actor Ryan Reynolds’s stoic pose in the image background, saying, “@vancityreynolds looks like he’s about ready to push her off the balcony!!!”  Lastly, a fan expressed their frustration with the NHRA, stating, “Can’t believe the NHRA has gone woke,” underscoring how passionate and protective fans can be about their favorite racing teams and their perception of celebrities.

As the dust settles on the online drama, Stewart continues to be a true Renaissance man, proving victorious not just on the asphalt but also as a mastermind behind the wheel and behind the scenes.
