Question: How do you celebrate when you win a race? Shauna
Stewart: “I used to do burnouts, but that seems to be getting a little old here lately. For my next win I need to think of something different. But if nothing comes to me, I’ll just resort to doing a bunch of doughnuts on the frontstretch. Whether it’s old or not, fans always seem to enjoy tire smoke.”
Question: Do you go to Joe Gibbs Racing every day? Lauren
Stewart: “I’m at the track Thursday through Sunday. As for the rest of the week, I’m either at the shop, testing or doing an appearance. I’d like to get to the shop more often, but our schedule doesn’t always allow it.”
Question: What is more fun for you to drive: a Midget, Sprint or Silver Crown car? Ken
Stewart: “That’s like making a parent pick their favorite child. I love driving all those cars equally.”
Question: How do you deal with the pressure put on you from racing? Lacy
Stewart: “Racing has pressures associated with it at times, but I love what I do and wouldn’t change it for the world. I take one day at a time, letting the pressures run their course and managing them the best way I can.”
Question: I know you like to bowl. What is your best score in bowling? Lee
Stewart: “I can break 200 pretty consistently. I try to bowl with people I can beat though, so I don’t pay too much attention to the score.”
Question: What's the funniest thing anyone has asked you to autograph? Geoff
Stewart: “One time a fan asked if I would sign their dog. That was funny, but also a very strange request.”
Question: What is your favorite European car to drive? Brian
Stewart: “Ferrari. I hope you weren’t expecting me to say Yugo.”
Question: The poor natured fans get to me sometimes, how do you handle the uglier side of fans? Julie
Stewart: “I’m more worried about winning races for my fans. I figure that as long as I’m winning races, my fans are happy. If winning races and running up front makes some fans mad, well, I kind of like that too.”
Question: If you had a whole day to yourself and could do anything you wanted, (except anything racing related) what would you choose to do? Sharon
Stewart: “Stay at home and relax. I’m always on the go, so spending time around the house would be the perfect day for me.”
Question: What do you like to watch on TV? Theresa
Stewart: “Any show that revolves around hunting, fishing or racing.”
Question: What's the toughest part of your job? Geoff
Stewart: "The toughest part of my job is probably having to travel so much. Packing a suitcase virtually every week gets old at times, but I wouldn't trade it for the world because I love what I do."
Question: Do you ever get nervous before a race? Melanie
Stewart: "At times I tend to get anxious or maybe a little eager prior to the start, but I'm usually trying to focus and concentrate on the task ahead, which is racing the car."
Question: What's your favorite track to race on? Darrell
Stewart: "I like racing out in Phoenix and I also enjoy Bristol and Richmond as well. We've had pretty good luck at all those tracks and the fans at those tracks really get excited about racing."
Question: Will you ever go back to racing open-wheel full-time? Markham
Stewart: "As a driver, not in the foreseeable future. I actually own several open-wheel teams, so that allows me to keep close ties to the sport."
Question: What do you do to relax after a long day at the track? Dave
Stewart: "Probably the same thing most people do after a long day at work, grab a bite to eat, watch some television and hang out with my dog."
Question: What would you be doing if you weren't a race car driver? Cristen
Stewart: "Racing has been a part of my life for so long I really couldn't tell you what I'd be doing if I weren't in racing. I've been racing for over 25 years. It's all I know."
