Tony Stewart Won’t Impact the Race, But His Career Will Be Remembered

Tony Stewart made it into the Chase this year by winning at Sonoma, but once he got into the Chase Smoke failed to make a great run out of his last Chase.

He more than likely won’t be a major player at Homestead, even though it is the last race of his career as a NASCAR Sprint Cup driver.

But his last race isn’t what matters for Smoke this weekend. Instead, the focus will be on the fantastic career he’s had and how much he’s impacted NASCAR.

Stewart has not only been a top driver over his years in the sport, but he’s also spoke his mind throughout his career and was never afraid to back down from any other driver. He entertained the fans throughout the years with both his racing and his attitude.

He started racing in NASCAR for the Busch Series in 1996. 20 years later Smoke has won three championships, 49 races in the Sprint Cup Series and owns part of one of the top teams in NASCAR.

Homestead will be the last race for one of NASCAR’s greatest drivers but regardless of how well Tony Stewart does on Sunday there is no denying the impact he’s had on NASCAR over his impressive career.
