The Racers Roundtable is a collaborative venture for drivers aimed at helping the audience learn more about their favorite drivers. 

Leading the discussion is none other than Cup Series legend Tony Stewart. Given how much fun Smoke has had hosting this show, he cannot help but praise the unique nature of it. In a recent Instagram post, Stewart revealed what he enjoyed most from his interactions with various legends of the sport.

The NASCAR community is one where fans are extremely interested in their favorite drivers. Many drivers have podcasts of their own where they talk to other drivers or owners about their careers, giving fans a glimpse into their lives. To make sure that fans stay entertained and can know more about their favorite people behind the steering, the Racers Roundtable is an amazing venture. The idea behind this venture is for legendary drivers to come on board and share their bits of the story. 

The show will be featured on MAVTV on Wednesday from 8:00 AM. The 53-year-old racing star Tony Stewart will be the leading man as he takes on the responsibility as the host and drives the conversation. Speaking of the unique nature of the show, the drivers said, “I think for me it was just how well each episode has turned out and the fact of you know in a short amount of time… literally three days we shot all these episodes and seeing all these great racers together and they weren’t all on the same show but they were overlapping. So as we’re shooting a show the next groups coming in and when you finish shooting that episode, that group gets up and they’re all talking to each other and interacting, that was probably the best part”. 

The best part about the show is not only will you get to witness your favorite drivers, but there are even guests from various walks of motorsport racing like crew chiefs and technical members. The show is co-hosted by another legend from the IndyCar racing community, Danny Sullivan. The season includes prominent names like Mario Andretti, Kurt and Kyle Busch, Ryan Blaney, Antron Brown, Lyn St. James, and many more. 

 Speaking of what stood out for him the most, Stewart said, “I was probably the most proud of the fact we had really cool racers that we got to sit down and talk with. Everybody’s stories are unique and different and made us really proud”.

Speaking of the true nature of the program and the kind of aspirations it showcases, Tony Stewart said, “Racers Roundtable is about so much more than fast cars and famous faces, it’s about the people who have lived and breathed this sport their entire lives. We get to hear about the struggles, the triumphs, and the rivalries that shaped all of our lives both on and off the track, giving fans a rare glimpse into the personal stories that make our guests who they are”. 

While Stewart enjoyed his hosting duties, back home, his duties were way different and involved the sounds of throttles and engines, but not with the intention of racing.

It seems as though it is not only his stint as a host that has become a first-time attempt for him. Tony Stewart recently became a dad and this is also one responsibility that has come to him for the very first time. In November this year, Leah Pruett gave birth to Dominic James Stewart, and he has been the main character of their life ever since.

However, just like his unique skills as a driver, Stewart has taken on his father’s duties with a creative twist. Instead of singing lullabies in their old format, Stewart has his unique take on the same. 

It was seen that Tony Stewart was making the sounds of engines and throttles to make his little one go off to sleep. Given how the baby boy hails from a family of racers with both mom and dad being prolific champions, it’s no surprise that he can sleep well with the sounds of engines.

While Pruett took a break from racing to deliver Dominic, Stewart took up her role as a drag racer in the NHRA. The couple have been pillars of support for each other throughout and Stewart seemed to be quite moved by the kind of responsibility his wife has taken.

Speaking of the same, he said, “She has literally, the whole season, moved us into a new house, a second trip got the baby room done. Got travel stuff ready to go for when we’re traveling to the races on the weekends. She has worked her a– off for this child and for us as a family. She’s done that and done all the hard work. In the meantime, I’ve been out racing and having fun doing what I do”. 

With his signature blend of humor and admiration, Stewart’s approach to fatherhood mirrors his racing career—unique, heartfelt, and always in awe of the remarkable team effort that drives his family forward.
