My Take
Tony Stewart, nicknamed Smoke, is one of those drivers who never seemed satisfied staying in his lane. I respect that he went from winning as a NASCAR driver to co-owning Stewart-Haas Racing, then jumped into NHRA Top Fuel drag racing later in his career, which is a wild pivot. Born in Columbus, Indiana in 1971, he reads to me as a pure racer first and a businessman second, the kind who races because he can't not. Still turning up in the Craftsman Truck Series tells you everything. I like competitors who refuse to gracefully retire.
