Tony Stewart Fires Back at Critics: “I’m Fine Being Done” as He Refocuses on Eldora Speedway….full details..
Tony Stewart, three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, has firmly addressed critics questioning his recent retreat from the national spotlight. In a candid statement, Stewart declared, “I’m fine being done,” signaling peace with stepping back from top-tier racing and media attention. Rather than chasing headlines, Stewart has shifted his focus toward grassroots racing, particularly his beloved Eldora Speedway in Ohio.
Eldora, which Stewart purchased in 2004, has become a cornerstone of his racing passion. Under his leadership, the dirt track has flourished, hosting prestigious events like the Eldora Million and the Kings Royal. Stewart emphasizes his commitment to building up local racing communities and offering opportunities to young talent.
Critics had questioned his absence from more prominent NASCAR or NHRA involvement in recent years, but Stewart shrugged off the negativity. “I don’t have anything to prove anymore. I’ve done everything I wanted to do,” he said.
Now immersed in managing and improving Eldora’s operations, Stewart is embracing a hands-on role at the track. His vision centers on preserving the spirit of grassroots racing, something he feels the sport desperately needs. For Stewart, being “done” with the spotlight means finally doing what he loves most—on his own terms.
