BROWNSBURG, Ind. (August 19, 2019) – Despite kicking off the weekend with a forced out at I-96 Speedway due to mud getting caught underneath the accelerator pedal, ‘Smoke’ Tony Stewart rebounded in a big way on Saturday night at Plymouth Speedway in Plymouth, Indiana, and hard charged for a top-ten performance against the All Star Circuit of Champions. Stewart’s rally commenced from the outside of row six, eventually ending his path toward the front in the sixth position. A fourth place finish during heat race action solidified his spot in the evening’s $5,000-to-win main event.
The driver of the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing/Rush Truck Centers/Toco Warranty/Ford Performance/Curb Records/Sage Fruit/Absolute Automation & Security/No. 14 sprint car was scored 18th on Friday at I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Michigan; Stewart started 19th on the grid.
“Things started out frustrating for us, but we kept our heads up and things worked out for the better on Saturday,” Tony Stewart said, an eight-time winner during sprint car competition in 2019. “I’m lucky to have the team that I do. No matter what is thrown at us, they keep digging and I appreciate their efforts.”
At this time, plans for the upcoming weekend remain uncertain. Fans are expected to stay alert online, as well as on social media, for any further updates regarding Tony Stewart’s upcoming schedule.
