New Hampshire Motor Speedway presented Tony Stewart with a stone – Celebrating his NASCAR wins at the track
Dale Earnhardt has his rock and now Tony Stewart has his block of granite at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. A winner of five races in three different motorsports series at NHMS during his legendary career, Tony Stewart will now forever be honored for his achievements on the 1.058-mile oval. Speedway officials unveiled the 7,400-pound engraved granite block for this weekend’s Bad Boy Off Road 300, Stewart’s final race as a full-time driver in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
Fans will be able to the see the granite block, as it is positioned under the Main Grandstands in a manicured flowerbed next to the suite elevators parallel to the Granite Stripe start/finish line.
“We really wanted to do something to honor one of our greatest champions here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and one of the greatest drivers to ever get behind the wheel of any race car,” said David McGrath, executive vice president and general manager of the speedway. “We have our fan favorite Earnhardt Rock outside the tunnel in Turn 2 and now we have our Stewart granite block, a fitting tribute to his many successes during a storied racing career here in New Hampshire.”
