Fresh off his first Top Fuel win, Tony Stewart was spotted sharing a moment with his son Dominic ahead of the American Rebel Light NHRA 4-Wide Nationals. His wife and arguably his biggest supporter, Leah Pruett, posted the heartfelt moment on her Instagram story, showing Dominic in the arms of the former NASCAR Cup Series racer.
Coming off a landmark victory at the NHRA Las Vegas Four-Wide Nationals, Stewart enters Charlotte with significant momentum. The NASCAR legend, who has seamlessly transitioned into Top Fuel racing, continues to credit much of his growth in drag racing to the support and mentorship of Pruett.
As he prepares for another demanding race at zMAX Dragway, fans got a glimpse of the Stewart-Pruett partnership during a crucial racing weekend. Pruett's Instagram story showed a touching moment between Stewart and Dominic, captioned:
"My boys 🤍,"

Family remains a focal point for Stewart both on and off the track. Leah's support has been the foundation that has propelled Stewart in his relatively new NHRA journey.
In a recent appearance on the Kenny Conversation podcast hosted by Kenny Wallace, Stewart opened up about the profound impact Pruett has had on his drag racing education. When asked about what he had learned from her, Stewart credited her for being the bedrock of his learning curve:
"Everything. Everything that I know about drag racing I know from her. And there are times that I go over to Matt Hagan, who drives our Funny Car team for TSR... She is a excellent teacher. She has been there from day one." (18:52 onwards)
Stewart’s appreciation for Pruett’s patience and guidance has been evident throughout his rapid rise in NHRA competition.
