In Pictures: Tony Stewart and Leah Pruett's newborn steals the show in adorable new photos

Tony Stewart and Leah Pruett, who welcomed their firstborn, Dominic James Stewart last week, recently shared their family pictures. The three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion got married to Pruett three years ago and their son was born on November 17th in Phoenix.

Pruett posted the Stewart family picture on Instagram where she can be seen holding baby Dominic in front of a lighthouse, with Tony and their dog beside them.

"Our Wild Wild West," Pruett wrote.

Pruett gave up racing this season and Stewart took her place in the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Top Fuel division. The 36-year-old is a 12-time Top Fuel National race winner and ended the 2023 season third in points, a career-best finish.

Stewart praised Pruett for her hard work and said:

“She has literally, the whole season, moved us into a new house, a second trip got the baby room done. Got travel stuff ready to go for when we’re traveling to the races on the weekends. She has worked her a** off for this child and for us as a family. She’s done that and done all the hard work. In the meantime, I’ve been out racing and having fun doing what I do."

Stewart, who met Pruett in 2020, got engaged the next year in March and married in November 2021 in Mexico.
