Starting a family could be one path, if even on short-term basis, for Stewart to replace Pruett in her NHRA Top Fuel dragster.
for her, either short-term or potentially permanent. After all, Ashley Force and Courtney Force both began families and have remained away from the driver’s seat since.“I think in her eyes, that's what her plan would be,” Stewart said of his wife. “I still think it's a scenario where at this point, I'm not sure I'm ready for that. But the more runs that I make in the alcohol car, that's the best preparation I can get.
“I mean, when your wife's there, she's your biggest critic and your best teacher at the same time. If I did something wrong and she knows how I want to do everything right, she’s like a drill sergeant, watching everything that I do when I drive that car. If I make a small mistake, she calls me out on it and makes me correct it. And that's what I want her to do. And that's why I love racing with my wife.”When the couple was dating, Leah took Tony to a number of drag races.
“But, you know, I get to watch both my teams run, and then I get to go and I get to drive myself, which is a way different dynamic than when I raced with Donnie Schatz and Steve Kinser . And we're all three in the same A Main together, where you didn’t know even know how it went till after it's over. Where here I get to be on top of what these two teams are doing. And then I get to switch gears, go change clothes, and I go race and get in race mode that I enjoy being in.
“We're building another chassis that there's some things that after I drove Leah's car , there's things in the cockpit that I’ve questioned,” Stewart said. “ couple of different dragsters I’ve sat in and then said, ‘Why don't you change this or remove this? And so we actually literally are building another chassis right now that has some of the ideas I like in it.
