Tony Stewart has made NASCAR a lot more entertaining than it would have been if he'd not been a part of it. I miss him as a driver and as a genuine character both on and off the track, but time moves on and things change. Anyway, congratulations, Mr. Stewart.

Honestly, I think Stewart is probably the best overall driver motorsports has ever seen. In his prime, you could literally stick him in any kind of car on any kind of track and he'd be competitive at an elite level.

You want a "counterargument" for the suggestion that because a person smoked weed and was on the track (both dumb moves), he can be run over by a hot-headed IDIOT WHO WAS OBVIOUSLY SHOWING HIS ASS and Tony can rightfully take ZERO RESPONSIBILITY? Are you joking or BLIND as a bat?

I’m not too sure why I liked Tony so much. I think it was when me and my sister went to our local Home Depot and he was there signing autographs. I still have the apron he signed for me. He’ll always be one of my favorite drivers

He's one of NASCAR's greatest, They had to put him in the hall of fame ✌️✌️👏👏

If you’re a car person and a racing fan (any kind of racing) Tony Stewart is a household name. His sense of humor is amazing. People forget all these brave drivers risk their lives for our entertainment. A big congrats to Tony,

Congrats Smoke.

Tony took the thoughts straight out of my head. I grew up as a youngster in the days of IROC and Days of Thunder. Saw the later years of Prime Dale Earnhardt Sr., Awesome Bill From Dawsonville, Davey, and saw Richard Petty's last race. But as a child I craved any footage and or knowledge I could get my hands on about actual racing on the beach, footage of the winged warriors, and Cale, Bobby, Donnie, David, and everyone else you can think of. Why? Because as a true fan of the sport, I wanted to experience what I'd never had a chance to experience. When the Prelude to the Dream became a reality, that was the greatest racing atmosphere I'd ever seen in my life. Big names, throwing it back on a small track is the coolest thing in the world. Makes the biggest little kid out of me. When Throwback weekend took off, I felt like the sport was headed in the right direction again. Then the Roval came to pass. I thought, the dream of seeing a Cup Race for points on dirt could become a reality. At somewhere like Kansas, Eldora, Bristol or something like that. That would literally be the coolest thing ever.

Congratulations

My man in the hall of fame

Thank you Tony Stewart for all the years of hard racing enjoy that you have given your fans you'll truly be missed on the NASCAR circuit tracks

Read it! *BEHOLD!* You moronic murder mongering Tiny Stewart fans..................... *_You've never heard (nor thought) about THIS before._* Few things more frustrating than a caution immediately after passing someone for position. What time, laps, effort you've expended is negated. Worse yet, you've showed your hand. If the guy is worth a damn *_(Kevin Ward Jr was)_* The only certainty you have is what worked before, will not work again. Now..........You've got to find another way by him. Stewart *AND ONLY TONY STEWART* had an inherent reason to specifically look for the black #13. *WHY?* If Ward Jr. didn't cause the caution *_(and there was no way of Stewart knowing)_* Then Stewart has to forfeit the position back to Ward Jr. for the restart. *ABSOLUTE FACT!* And proof positive Stewart is a piece-of-shit who lied about not seeing Ward Jr. *CONFIRMATION!* Tuckdaman11 2 years ago Rayism 24b.. you know I never even thought about the fact that they would revert to the previous lap when caution came out.. *_he would have definitely been looking for ward jr_* *GOOD CATCH!* It's nice to know there are others out there that see what really happened that night. Most brush it off as a dumb kid that shouldn't have been on the track. But if you have been around racing at all one would know it was common place for ward jr to do what he did. And the others that have been around racing are blinded by their fandom for Stewart. Idk I can't explain or figure how people can watch that video and not see what I or you see. It's really disturbing that they don't. Tony Stewart jacking the throttle and spinning his tires is what killed Kevin Ward Jr. Stewart's right rear grabbed Ward's body like a giant soft, hot, sticky, spinning roasted marshmallow. That wouldn't let go. Otherwise *_(if hit at all)_* Ward Jr.gets run over like a speed bump. Stewart switched to Ford cause Chevrolet & Coca-Cola will no-longer have anything to do with him. Dale Earnhardt Sr. wasn't strapped in. Tony Stewart is guilty as sin. *Guaranteed!* I monetarily back my word. We live on a plane, not a planet.
