Talk with any hardcore NASCAR fan about Tony Stewart and you will certainly get a straight reply. They will list his glorious achievements across various racing platforms. The man has done almost everything there is to do in motorsports. Racking up win after win in across various motorsports disciplines, from Indycar to Cup Series to Sprint and dirt racing, the Stewart-Haas Racing co-owner is currently set on the NHRA drag scene and has generated much smoke.
Recently the 3-time Cup Series champ joined his friend and fellow dirt fanatic, Kenny Wallace on the popular The Kenny Wallace Show.
With Smoke joining his friend for the first episode of the series titled “Kenny Conversation,” the duo had a lot of topics to discuss—from his recent historic milestone at the Las Vegas drag strip to the current NASCAR situation. Instead of going into these conventional topics, the buddies started the “Kenny conversation” on a bright note.

Tony Stewart mentions the “Berta” in his residence as he shares a hilarious story with his friend
Starting off the discussions was Wallace’s question about how Stewart got his infamous nickname, while the veteran elaborated on the incident, fans saw the conversation expanding beyond, with the buddies ranting about and going on a journey with their tales.
Soon Wallace mentioned the elephant in the room when he asked about him taking the prestigious Wally trophy that he won magnificently at Las Vegas, earning himself yet another rightful accolade. To this, the NHRA national drag winner elaborated on the tradition of bringing his prizes first to the kitchen.
Further speaking to his friend, Stewart uncovered the tradition mentioning his housekeeper, “You know, where we win an SRX race or we win a Sprint race or whatever, if we win something, we always bring it to the kitchen first and you know my housekeeper here we call her Berta, like Berta from Two and a Half Men.”

Much like Smoke, his housekeeper also seems to have quite the attitude. He described the incident leaving Wallace laughing to the core, “She’s just got as much spunk and she doesn’t care if it’s Johnny Morris that’s staying at the house or you or anybody else. She’s going to give me the same crap and same grief. I haven’t seen her yet this morning and I guarantee when I go out there she’s gonna look at me and go, ‘You’re here? How long till you leave again?’
“So I mean, I just guarantee that’s what she’s gonna say but I love putting it out there because she likes to see it, my buddy Mark that works for us loves to see it when they get here.”
