Tony Stewart Set To Make NHRA Debut During Nevada Nationals

Three-time NASCAR Champion, one-time IndyCar champion and USAC triple crown winner Tony Stewart will make his NHRA debut at Las Vegas

NASCAR Hall of Fame Tony Stewart will make his NHRA debut at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this upcoming weekend racing for McPhillips Racing. Stewart will be in a Top Alcohol dragster, a tier that is equivalent of NASCAR's second-tier Xfinity Series.

“It's something I've really been wanting to do and I've been working toward this moment." - Tony Stewart

Stewart is guaranteed a minimum of four passes at Vegas beginning with Q1 and Q2 on Friday, Q4 on Saturday and at least the first round of eliminations on Sunday. Despite having a Top Fuel license and a handful of tests over the last two years, the 51-year-old felt that the Top Alcohol was a smarter entry point. As of now the Las Vegas (Nevada) Nationals event is the only race weekend that Stewart has announced that he is participating in.
