Better do it now before you can't handle the kid as a teenager.

I hope it all works out for Leah and we hear about a baby coming next year and see how Tony does!

"I enjoyed my time in the Top Alcohol Dragster class. I absolutely loved racing with the McPhillips Racing family. But to have an opportunity like this, where you have your wife, who’s also a driver, and the crew chief feel I’m capable to come in and drive the car is very flattering. It’s an honor to be able to fill in for her until she’s ready to come back.”

I get it but still has nothing to do with drag racing. It is Stewart haas so he only has part of the company. I think it has more to do with direction nascar has been going

A Birdie told me Gene & Tony haven t been seeing eye to eye for a while & this is long overdue

Gene s focus is Formula 1
Tony s focus now is Leah & Drag Racing
Both have went opposite directions away from NASCAR

Not winning races got the finger pointing started which leads to other things

Yes NASCAR has been going in the wrong direction for years
Hence my comment "sucking more by the day"

Gene & Tony stand to make a fortune pending the charter situation

I stopped watching NASCAR but I try to watch Tony in his Top Fuel ride

Something that isn’t considered in all the bla bla bla about Stewart walking away from his business with NASCAR…. He’s a racer at heart. I can guarantee you driving a top fuel dragster is a bigger adrenaline rush than managing the business of running a stock car around an oval with somebody else doing the driving. It’s probably the biggest rush there is in any form of racing. He can’t be competitive with the kids in the NASCAR seats now. 40’s is past prime in that type of racing. Fuel drag racing that’s not the case. John Force is 75 and still competitive. Balls of steel (no doubt Tony has those) but still able to experience victory in competition. I think it’s all about getting back behind the wheel in national competition.
