As per his recent post on X, Tony Stewart shared about his past weekend which was one of those where everything seemed to go wrong from the start. They encountered track issues on Friday, making it difficult for cars to navigate. Unfortunately, they were one of the cars that struggled, forcing us to abort our run.

From NASCAR Champion to NHRA Dragster

In 2022, Tony Stewart made his NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster debut at the Nevada Nationals. The transition from oval tracks to straight-line acceleration was no small feat, but Stewart proved he was up for the challenge. His first two elimination rounds resulted in victories, propelling him to the semifinals on Sunday. Racing against some of the quickest Top Alcohol Dragsters ever assembled, Stewart held his own, qualifying solidly and showcasing his adaptability.

Stewart’s performance during qualifying was nothing short of impressive. Piloting his Mobil 1 dragster, he secured the No. 2 seed. But it was during eliminations that he truly shone. In a narrow victory over James Stevens, Stewart clinched his first win. Later, he added another victory against Taylor Vetter. His consistency on the starting line, with reaction times of .062 in both rounds, demonstrated that he was no rookie driver. Stewart’s NHRA debut had become one of the most talked-about events of the season.
