Tony Stewart
54-Year-Old Driver
NASCAR Return at Indianapolis
Stewart announced Wednesday that he will compete in the July 4 Xfinity Series race at famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which will be contested for the first time on the track's 2.439-mile, 14-turn road course, motorsport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stewart hasn't raced in NASCAR since his 2016 retirement, and he hasn't raced in the Xfinity Series since way back in 2013. The racing legend will dust off the helmet and fire suit and strap in for July's first-ever Xfinity Series race on the Indianapolis road course. "Everyone knows what Indy means to me, so I can't think of a better place to race on Fourth of July weekend," said Stewart. "It's going to be cool making history by turning left and right in a stock car at the Brickyard, and the racing will be full of action and contact." No details are available yet on car owner, team or car number for the event.
