As the motorsport world gears up for 2025, NASCAR Hall of Famer Tony Stewart is stepping into a new chapter of life and racing. With his team, Tony Stewart Racing (TSR), celebrating its 25th anniversary, Stewart’s legacy as a driver, team owner, and now father has reached new heights. His wife, NHRA drag racer Leah Pruett, recently opened up about the relentless passion and deeply personal approach that has driven TSR’s success over the years.


“He Takes Everything Personally”

Reflecting on TSR’s quarter-century milestone, Pruett credited her husband’s hands-on management style for the team’s longevity and success. Speaking with Behind the Catch Fence, she said:

“Tony doesn’t get to 25 years of TSR without looking at all the positives and how he got here. He takes everything really personally. Every single decision along the way has been personal for him. That takes a toll on somebody, right? And I think that’s why today is great that we can celebrate everything that he’s done in 25 years.”

Stewart’s dedication to his craft and team is legendary, with TSR rising to prominence as one of the most competitive motorsport organizations across multiple disciplines. His personal investment in every decision has been both a source of pressure and pride, driving the team to achieve greatness on and off the track.


A New Chapter: Fatherhood and Family

The 2024 season brought significant life changes for Stewart and Pruett. The couple welcomed their first child, Dominic, just months after Stewart stepped in to take over Pruett’s NHRA seat during her pregnancy. Becoming a father has been a transformative experience for the racing legend, adding another layer of meaning to his professional pursuits.

Pruett shared her joy and humor about motherhood, saying:

“Life lately… Dom has for sure taken over my sleep schedule, and camera roll. He’s now over a month old and has got all of his responsibilities down: eat, sleep, toot, and look cute.”

For Stewart, Dominic’s arrival has become a new source of motivation as he balances the demands of parenthood with leading TSR into its milestone year.


Looking Ahead to the 2025 Season

As TSR marks its 25th anniversary, the team shows no signs of slowing down. Stewart’s relentless commitment, coupled with the fresh perspective brought by fatherhood, promises to fuel TSR’s drive for even greater success.

With a packed racing schedule and a family to cherish, Stewart has found renewed purpose. Pruett summed it up perfectly:

“We now have the greatest motivation to win more races in the coming years.”


A Legacy Built on Passion

From his NASCAR triumphs to his role as a team owner, Tony Stewart’s career has been defined by an unwavering passion for motorsport. As TSR celebrates 25 years, Stewart’s journey is a testament to what happens when someone takes their dreams—and their responsibilities—personally. With his family by his side and his team thriving, the future looks as bright as ever for one of racing’s most iconic figures.
