Tony Stewart's first Nascar race was in the Busch Series on February 17, 1996. It is now known as the Nationwide Series. He also drove in his first Truck Series race on August 1, 1996. In 1999, Stewart started driving in the Cup Series full time.
Tony Stewart has two nicknames. He has been called Smoke and has taken that nickname and turned it into a merchandising label. He has also been called the Rushville Rocket.Smoke. He got it from his dirt track days when he first started racing midgets and he would "smoke" his back tires during the starts.
Everyone except Tony Stewart's second title has been won on points alone.
Tony and Kurt haven't been getting along at all, and at the 2008 Daytona 500 practice right before the Budweiser Shootout, an incident on the track, while racing occurred and Kurt hit Tony's car when they came on to pit lane. They are both getting punished for it.
No. Tony Stark has never been married. But, he was engaged before, to the future Madame Masque.
Tony Stewart was the last driver to win the Nascar Cup Series championship prior to Jimmie Johnson, it was in 2005. Johnson has been the champion since 2006.
Nascar first started in 1947. They first raced on the beach at Daytona. Nascar has been around For 64 years. It will probably end in 2056 AND racing motorsports will have a new type of racing sport.
Tony Stewart does not make his personal life public knowledge.
Jeff Gordon competed in one race in 1992, and has been racing full time from 1993 to the present season in the Nascar Cup Series.
He has been retired from racing, but he is always in the loop by announcing racing on TV and radio.
The two biggest races that have eluded Tony Stewart in his career have been the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500.
Yes it is, but it's not as old as Rally Racing (which has been around since cars were first made, before world war one). WRC (World Rally Championship) is extremely popular, but not as popular as Nascar.
Over the years Ford, Dodge, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac have all pulled out at on time or another. I think that Chevy has always been there, they may have pulled out once in the mid to late sixties but I don't know that for sure. They are currently part of NASCAR. In fact, some of the biggest names in the sport today drive Chevys. Dale Earnhardt Jr, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Jeff Burton, Robby Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, and many more. It has usually been the car maker of the NASCAR champion for the last 20 years or more. What made you think that Chevrolet got out of Nascar? Chevrolet and Ford are the dominant two, specifically Hendrick Motorsports for Chevy and Roush Racing for Ford. Now, you may have gotten Chevrolet confused with Pontiac, which is also owned by General Motors. They left the sport after the 2003 season.
