Former NASCAR champion Tony Stewart now leads the point standings after his second NHRA Top Fuel win
Tony Stewart just picked up his second NHRA win after the race weekend at Route 66 Raceway. That’s two wins in 6 races. He’s now the NHRA Top Fuel points leader.
The three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion made the transition to NHRA after his wife Leah Pruett pulled herself from her Top Fuel ride as the couple decided to have a baby.
Now, the 54-year-old has returned to his winning ways. But, he hasn’t forgotten about the people that doubted him before reaching this point…
Tony Stewart says NASCAR built their own coffin
Tony Stewart has a message…
“I make a big mistake at reading social media,” Stewart said.
“I think we all make very vital critical mistakes by reading the keyboard warriors that are dumb asses that sit in their mother’s basements and don’t do a damn thing and haven’t accomplished anything in their life and tell you how bad you are or what you do. But they can’t tell you to your face.”
I’ve never stood at the ropes and have anybody come up to me and said ‘You really are bad at this and you should put your wife in the car.’ “
“They can kiss my ass, they literally can kiss my ass and I’ll sit there and stick it out for them, too, because they don’t do a damn thing. They’ve never accomplished anything in their life.”
“They don’t know how to work hard to be successful in anything,” he added. “That’s why they say the s**t they say on the internet. And to sit there and have to fight and prove these people wrong, that’s the pride I take now.”

That fuels Tony Stewart
“That’s the pride I’m leaving here with tonight. — I’m going to celebrate this because this is for all those people that say that I suck, I’m no good, I’m terrible, I’ve never been anything. This is for all those people.”
“They don’t have anything to show for it. I’ve got two silver Wallys this year to show for it. We’ve proven these guys wrong.”
“So they can say what they want to say now; they just look stupid when they say it. That’s the pride I’m taking, what we’ve done today and what we’re accomplishing.”
“These idiots don’t realize, the more they talk s**t about me, the more they motivate me to be better.”
14 races remain in the NHRA season. The next race is scheduled at New England Dragway on May 30-June 1.
