Tony Stewart, the stubborn drriver and NASCAR icon, just does not know when to retire. He eats Twinkies and Whoppers all day long, gets into brawls, and usually drives a race car better than anyone on the planet. The busy schedule of this 52-year-old man puts youngsters of today to shame. With just 4 hours of sleep and making constant commutes, Stewart makes it to the weekend like a perfect workaholic.

Not like he has a lot of time to sit on the couch and watch television, but Tony’s recent confession in an interview has left the fans of a popular TV show cheering in unison.

And it all started with a Big Bang

Tony Stewart, Marco Andretti, and Ken Schrader were seen in high spirits after the SRX Racing Series. A reporter asked, “Not that you guys have a lot of time to sit down and watch television, but one show that you could binge watch”

The worlds of stock car racing and sitcom collided as Tony Stewart mouthed his favorite TV show, The Big Bang Theory.

“I’ve seen every episode over and over and it’s still better than anything else on TV in my opinion,” said the co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing.

Ken Schrader seconded Tony’s choice and jokingly said that his wife gets mad at him because of his obsession with TBBT. The opening race of the 2023 SRX Series took place at the Stafford Motor Speedway despite changes in the schedule due to unfavorable weather. To top it off, Tony threw a question at the audience that immediately had them go berserk,

“How many of you guys would be interested in coming back next week if we came back here and race next week?”

Fans cheer showing full support, to which Tony Stewart said, “Okay, done deal!”

It was clear from the way Tony spoke that he is having a blast doing what he is doing post-retirement. Although he admitted having “scr*wed” his own retirement, he is enjoying his life to the fullest.

From founding his own charity organization Tony Stewart Foundation to winning the Top Alcohol Dragster at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals, The Smoke has done it all. In the same interview, Stewart referred to something that might have poked his ego when he lost to Madison Payne at the NHRA Nevada Nationals in Las Vegas.

Madison Payne defeated Jasmine Salinas, Hunter Green, and Jackie Fricke in the first three rounds. In the final rounds of the Top Alcohol Dragster, the fans saw a dream lineup as the versatile Tony Stewart debuted in drag racing. Payne, still a teenager in college, revved her engine at the starting line. However, Tony had emphasized that for him, it was not about winning and that it was purely to gain seat time.

Ultimately, he fell short of 0.0002 seconds as Madison Payne won the race and bagged her first Wally statue.

This year, winning the 4-wide NHRA Nationals in April was somewhat proved to be a retribution for Tony Stewart as he finished first, defeating not one, not two, but three other opponents.

The 2005 NASCAR Cup Series champion is one of the greatest drivers in the arena to win championships in stock cars, Indy cars, Midget, Sprint, and Silver Crown cars. Some refer to him as the modern-day A. J. Foyt. Wouldn’t you agree?
