NASCAR Cup Series champion. IndyCar champion. USAC Triple Crown champion. Now, you can add NHRA Top Fuel winner to Tony Stewart's impressive list of motorsports accolades. 

On Sunday afternoon, the 53-year old made it to the top of the drag racing world for the first time by winning the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Stewart defeated Justin Ashley, Antron Brown and Jasmine Salinas in the final round to secure his first career Top Fuel "Wally" trophy. 

The driver known as "Smoke" recorded a find round time of 3.870 seconds at 317.42mph. Antron Brown finished runner-up with a 3.912 at 302.35mph.

“You sure as hell appreciate it more when you struggle like we did,” Stewart said. “All the credit goes to this team. I’m so proud of my guys. There’s so many great partners here and I have a great team standing there. I have a feeling I’m really going to be hurting in the morning, but it sure as hell is going to be worth it.”

Stewart won NHRA Rookie of the Year honors a year ago, and then went to the final round two weeks ago in Pomona before racing to the victory on Sunday in Las Vegas.

In 2023, he won the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series North Central Division title in the Top Alcohol division. Stewart took over the TSR Nitro Top Fuel ride in 2024, replacing his wife Leah Pruett as the two prepared for the birth of their son, Dominic, last November. In December, he confirmed his return to NHRA Top Fuel racing in 2025.
