Tony Stewart and Leah Pruett Welcome Their Newborn Son

INDIANAPOLIS — There’s a new member of the team at Tony Stewart Racing! Racing legend Tony Stewart and his wife, NHRA driver Leah Pruett, proudly announced the birth of their son, Dominic James Stewart. The racing team shared the joyful news on social media, confirming that both Pruett and Dominic are “doing great.”

Dominic made his grand entrance during the NHRA’s final race weekend of the season in Pomona, California. After qualifying for the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals, Stewart quickly traveled to Phoenix for Dominic's delivery before returning to Pomona just in time for race day.

This year marked Stewart’s debut in a Top Fuel dragster as he filled in for Pruett while she was pregnant, completing the Tony Stewart Racing Nitro lineup for 2024.

Before this year’s US Nationals at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, Stewart expressed his feelings about his first season in Top Fuel racing. “I was really nervous,” he admitted. “I was worried about making mistakes and they were very patient and helpful in teaching me how to do this correctly. A lot of procedures happen without verbal communication; it’s all done with hand signals once the engines fire up.”

Back in June, Stewart shared his excitement on social media about starting a family with Leah Pruett: “I’m so excited to start a family with this incredibly beautiful love of my life Leah Pruett. Can’t wait to meet this little guy. This is the ultimate trophy!”

Stewart is a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and has been inducted into both the NASCAR Hall of Fame and USAC Hall of Fame. Meanwhile, Pruett boasts an impressive record as a 12-time NHRA Top Fuel National event winner. The couple tied the knot in November 2021.
