Part 2: Tony Stewart’s 300 MPH Internship Continues… What Does His Report Card Say?


Part 2: Tony Stewart’s 300 MPH Internship Continues… What Does His Report Card Say?

Tony Stewart and Leah Pruett are a super power couple, even if Tony never wanted to sit behind the butterfly wheel of a Top Fuel Dragster. But because he does, and because he’s serious about racing anything and everything he can get in, they might be the ultimate power couple. He’s been documenting his learning experiences, and the first episode of his 300 mph internship was cool, but we were excited for this next chapter. If you missed the first part, use the link below to watch it.

The number of racers who have driven in NASCAR, Indy Car, and NHRA is a limited but cool group and the latest to join that group is Tony Stewart. When he announced he would be coming NHRA Top Fuel drag racing in 2021, the world was a bit shocked. They shouldn’t have been though, as he and Leah Pruett had been dating for a while and the bug was planted. It only figures that a couple like this would want to try out each others hot rods, so who knows how long it will be before Leah is sitting behind the wheel of a cup car or IndyCar. The two got engaged in March and Tony had been making test hits and learning about Top Fuel during the fall of 2020. He’s got a pretty illustrious racing career, but will all that be enough to prepare him for 300 mph Top Fuel runs?

Tony attended Frank Hawley’s drag racing school in 2020 to get a good baseline down for doing the right things behind the wheel, but an alcohol car is quite a bit different than a fuel car and he’ll definitely tell you that now that he’s experienced both. But if there is something we know about Smoke it is the fact that he is as competitive as they come and he’s going to want to be the best he can be if he’s going to get behind the wheel.

Here is Part 1 of his 300 mph Internship. Watch.

      If you are dumb enough to walk in front of a top fuel car, you probably have it coming sooner rather than later
