NASCAR Cup Series champion Tony Stewart expressed his views on fatherhood with his son Dominic

Former Stewart-Haas Racing owner Tony Stewart opened up about his journey of being a father for the first time. He pointed out that he looks forward to seeing his son grow in front of him. Reflecting upon the same in an interview with WESH, the latter stated:

"This point in my life, to wake up every day and know that when I see Dominic, I know that every day there's gonna be a little change that was a little different than the day before, and that's what I look forward to every day when I wake up."

The 53-year-old added:

"Literally the clock stops. When you see him and he smiles, it's like the clock stops and nothing else in the world is happening."

The former NASCAR driver was competing in the NHRA final while his wife went into labor. He flew from Pomona Dragstrip in California to Phoenix to be with his family and reached the hospital before his wife gave birth to Dominic on Sunday, November 17, 2024.

However, Tony Stewart could only spend a few hours with his newborn baby before he returned to California to compete in the race. While he competes in the 2025 PRO Superstar Shootout, his wife Leah Pruett suggested that her return to the series is unlikely in the 2025 season.
