Stewart, a three-time NASCAR Cup champion and current team owner, fell in love with drag racing when he fell in love with his wife, Leah Pruett. "These guys are some of the toughest in the business for sure." The fact that you’re getting beat up in the process," Stewart said just after puck-drop. He's been to a Lightning game before, and he said he has nothing but respect for his fellow champions. Stewart was at AMALIE Arena to watch the Lightning's 6-1 win over Anaheim.

"Getting the opportunity to go March 3rd and 4th to the Baby Gators, and get a warm-up race before we go to Gators the next weekend- that’s definitely the right way to kick the season off for us." "Florida’s very passionate about going to Gainesville for the Gatornationals," Stewart said Tuesday night. It's a signature event that kicks off the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) season schedule. NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Tony Stewart was in Tampa this week to promote the upcoming Gatornationals in Gainesville.
