Tony Stewart Adds Regular Season Championship to Impressive Season in NHRA

What’s Happening?

NASCAR Hall of Famer Tony Stewart may have stepped away from oval racing, but the 54-year-old has not slowed his winning ways, continuing his success in the NHRA this season.

• On Monday, Stewart, in his second full-time season racing in the NHRA’s Top Fuel Division, won the division’s regular season championship. This put a wrap on a successful regular season for Stewart in which he won his first race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s drag strip in April.
• The former NASCAR Cup Series Champion, of course, walked away from NASCAR racing after the 2017 season, though at the time, he remained a co-owner in the series with Gene Haas. That also changed this past offseason when, at the conclusion of the 2024 season, SHR sold three of its charters and reformed into the Haas Factory Team.
• In the NHRA, Stewart competes as an owner-driver just like he did in the latter half of his NASCAR Cup Series career. His team, Tony Stewart Racing Nitro, fields the racing legend in the Top Fuel Division and four-time champion Matt Hagan in the Funny Car Division.
• The NHRA Playoffs kick off on Sept. 11 in the 40th NHRA Reading Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway. The final round of the 2025 NHRA season, the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals, begins on Nov. 13 at the Pomona Dragstrip in California.
