Tony Stewart's wife, Leah Pruett, shared a pre-race moment with her son, Dominic James Stewart, on Instagram. The video showed Stewart having father-son time with the newborn ahead of the NHRA Top Fuel race.

Stewart and his wife, Pruett, welcomed their son, Dominic, in November last year. From then on, little Dominic has become a household name for all Tony Stewart fans and enthusiasts. Apart from their off-track times, the couple is often seen spending their time with the newborn at racetracks, and on Sunday, it was no different.

As little Dominic arrived at the Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with his mother, Leah Pruett, he was accompanied by his father, Tony Stewart. Sharing the trio's video on the Meta-owned platform, Mrs. Stewart wrote:

"Have a great race day dad. - Dom (Probably).

Here's the screenshot of Leah Pruett's recent Instagram story with Stewart and Dominic:

Stewart got married to NHRA Top Fuel driver Leah Pruett in November 2021. Three years later, they welcomed their firstborn, Dominic James Stewart.

Stewart is away from IndyCar and NASCAR scenes as the former Cup driver has a full focus on the NHRA Top Fuel. His last direct contact with stock car racing was the ownership of Stewart-Haas Racing, but at the end of 2024, he withdrew from it, and SHR went defunct.
