Awesome news for race fans! Two-time NASCAR CUP champion Tony Stewart is leaving Joe Gibbs Racing and the #20 Home Depot Toyota Camry to form his own stock car team. The new team, Stewart-Haas, will field two cars next season, including an entry driven by Ryan Newman, late of Roger Penske Racing. This will be Tony's first attempt at managing a NASCAR team, and it will be a tough road, but with two talented drivers and solid sponsorship, odds are his new team will succeed on the Sprint Cup circuit.
Tony's new car, a Chevy (or "Chiverlay" as we red-state rednecks call them) Impala SS, will wear the #14 on its doors in honor of Tony's motorsports hero, A J Foyt.
In off-the-track news, Tony has donated $1,000,000 to help finance the construction of the second Victory Junction Gang Camp
in Kansas City, Missouri.
