Three times NASCAR Cup Series champion Tony Stewart became a full-time NHRA Top Fuel driver in 2024, replacing his wife Leah in the team he owns. The star racer stepped away from the drag racing scene to have Dom, their son, making the racing legend a dad at the age of 53. Now Leah is ready to make a comeback and race against her husband.

Tony Stewart, who won his maiden NHRA top division race at Las Vegas recently, talked about the head-to-head battle with his wife in an interview with Fox Sports. He admitted that they have already had conversation about how their life is going to change as his wife is set to make comeback to the track and establish herself again as a prominent talent.

We’ve started those conversations. What does life look like in a couple of years with her back in the car?

Tony Stewart told Forbs.

He then joked that racing against each other is going to be terrible idea for him as he is in a non-win situation. Stewart hilariously admitted that if he beat his wife, he might get kicked out of the room and if he loses to her, his friends won’t miss the opportunity to mock him. He looking to fine one positive aspect that exits in such a situation.

I still think it’s a terrible idea. It’s a no-win situation for me. If I win, I get kicked to the couch. If she wins, I get to call all my buddies and tell them I got my ass kicked by my wife. Still trying to figure out where this is a positive for me.
