BROWNSBURG, Ind. (Dec. 11, 2024) \u2013 Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) an iconic and trailblazing motorsports brand, is elated to announce that the 2025 racing season will be a celebration of its 25th season of full-time competition in auto racing. Since its inception, TSR has remained at the forefront of professional dirt-track racing and expanded the brand into the NHRA professional drag racing divisions in its quarter century foothold.<\/p>\n

Owned by three-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion and the brand\u2019s namesake, Tony Stewart, TSR will field an entry in the World of Outlaws (WoO) NOS Energy Sprint Car Series for 10-Time Series Champion, Donny Schatz, and entries in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Top Fuel and Funny Car divisions for Stewart and 4-Time Series champion, Matt Hagan in 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty remarkable to think that we\u2019re 25 years into this now it just seems like yesterday when Danny Lasoski and I had a conversation about starting TSR and what it was going to look like\u2026 it literally started with one World of Outlaws team,\u201d said Stewart.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you look at what we\u2019ve been able to accomplish since 2001 it makes you stop, reflect, smile and think of all the great things that we\u2019ve been able to do as a group of talented drivers, crew members, crew chiefs and great partners along the way\u2026 it\u2019s just been a great ride.\u201d<\/p>\n

TSR\u2019s legacy had humble roots, as Stewart co-owned cars in the USAC Silver Crown Series in the late 1990s with Bob East and the duo won 16 series feature events making the pairing one of the most potent in the sport. As his NASCAR career took off in the 2000s, Stewart looked to further give back to his roots in open-wheel racing and in November of 2000, TSR was forged. 2001 was TSR\u2019s inaugural season, laying the groundwork for the organization to grow into the powerhouse that it is today.<\/p>\n

As tenacious as Stewart is in the cockpit of a racecar, he\u2019s proven equally adept at providing cars and equipment for racing\u2019s dirt-track elite. In November 2000, Stewart formed Tony Stewart Racing (TSR), and since its inaugural season in 2001, TSR has earned 27 owner championships \u2013 14 in USAC, nine in the World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series and four in the All Star Circuit of Champions TQ Midgets Series.<\/p>\n

Operating out of a state-of-the-art 25,000- square-foot facility in Brownsburg, Indiana, TSR campaigns a WoO team for ten-time series champion Donny Schatz. Schatz earned TSR Sprint Car\u2019s most recent title when he scored the 2018 WoO Championship with a series-best 22 wins. One of those wins came in the prestigious Kings Royal event (TSR Sprint Car owns six Kings Royal titles) at the legendary Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, which is also owned by Stewart.<\/p>\n

Schatz has earned five Kings Royal titles driving for TSR, winning the event in 2009, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2023. Steve Kinser earned the Kings Royal title in 2010 for TSR. Additionally, TSR has 12 Knoxville Nationals championships in the WoO. Danny Lasoski captured victories in the famed winged Sprint Car event in 2001, 2003 and 2004, while Schatz earned Knoxville Nationals wins for TSR in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2022.<\/p>\n

Nine different drivers have won a WoO Feature while in a TSR owned car. That list includes Donny Schatz, Steve Kinser, Kraig Kinser, Danny Lasoski, Paul McMahan, Kerry Madsen, Tony Stewart and Christopher Bell. As of the completion of the 2024 WoO season, TSR\u2019s WoO win total sits at 330 and counting.<\/p>\n

Twelve different drivers have won a USAC National Feature while in a TSR owned car. That list includes Bobby East, Bryan Clauson, Cory Kruseman, Dave Steele, J.J. Yeley, Jason Leffler, Jay Drake, Josh Wise, Kasey Kahne, Levi Jones, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. & Tracy Hines. In total, TSR accumulated 117 USAC National event Feature wins during its time in the series. Chris Windom also piloted a TSR USAC entry, filling in for an injured Jones in 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you look at the impressive list of drivers that we\u2019ve been fortunate enough to have as part of TSR, it\u2019s hard to believe that we\u2019ve accomplished everything that we have as an organization. When you look at the stats it\u2019s truly amazing,\u201d said Stewart.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we get so focused on everything that\u2019s in front of you and trying to get that next win, that next championship that you never stop long enough to reflect on, look back at and appreciate the incredible accomplishments we\u2019ve had as an organization. Our entire resume has been due to having great people as part of our team and looking ahead to the future it\u2019s very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heading into TSR\u2019s 25th season, the organization will field a car for Schatz and will compete full-time in the WoO Sprint Car Series which boasts an ambitious 90+ race schedule. The team will compete in nearly every region of the continental United States and will see the WoO Sprint Car Series\u2019 return to Canada in 2025 as Schatz and the Outlaws will cross our northern border for a three-race stretch this coming May.<\/p>\n

Tony Stewart Racing Nitro was formed in 2021, with 2022 marking the team\u2019s first season in competition. Matt Hagan pilots the Funny Car and Tony Stewart took over driving duties in 2024 for wife Leah Pruett in the Top Fuel dragster as they started a family. Pruett gave birth to the couple\u2019s first child, Dominic James Stewart during the season finale in Pomona, California.<\/p>\n

On the drag strip, TSR has earned 16 wins and one Funny Car championship since its inception. Hagan has earned 13 victories for TSR (four in 2022, six in 2023, three in 2024), en route to his 2023 NHRA Funny Car Championship. He has also earned NHRA Funny Car championships in 2011, 2014 and 2020. Pruett brought home three wins for the team (one in 2022, two in 2023).<\/p>\n

Making his Top Fuel debut in 2024, Stewart advanced to a pair of final rounds, four semifinals, earned a position in the Countdown to the Championship and finished ninth in Top Fuel points. At the NHRA Finals, he had a career-best run of 3.688-seconds at 334.73-mph in his 11,000-horsepower dragster. Stewart earned the 2024 NHRA Rookie of the Year title in an impressive field that included seven other NHRA rookies. He finished second in the 2023 Top Alcohol Dragster championship standings driving for McPhillips Racing.<\/p>\n

\u201cRacing and being an owner is something I\u2019ve always enjoyed doing. I\u2019ve always enjoyed having a Sprint Car team. I\u2019ve always enjoyed dirt racing and then when I met Leah, I really gained a great appreciation for Drag Racing,\u201d said Stewart.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere aren\u2019t many organizations around that compete in two forms of motorsports that couldn\u2019t be more drastically different, but we\u2019re making it work. It\u2019s a challenge, but we\u2019ve always enjoyed a challenge as a team\u2026 and the sky is the limit at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n
