Anthony Wayne "Tony" Stewart (born May 20, 1971) is an American auto racing driver and owner. Throughout his racing career Stewart has won titles in Indy cars and stock cars, as well as midget, sprint and USAC Silver Crown cars, giving him the recognition of "one of the finest racers of his generation."
Tony currently owns and drives the #14 Office Depot/Mobil 1/Burger King Chevrolet Impala in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series for his own team, Stewart Haas Racing under crew chief Darian Grubb. Stewart also drives part-time in the #5 Delphi Chevrolet Impala SS for JR Motorsports in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. From 1999 until 2008, he drove the #20 Joe Gibbs Racing car, under crew chief Greg Zipadelli, with The Home Depot as the primary sponsor. His ten year tenure with the same team, sponsor, and crew chief is a NASCAR record. Stewart is also the only driver to win both the Winston Cup under the old points system, and the Nextel Cup under the chase playoff format, winning those championships in 2002 and 2005 respectively. His 2005 Cup title marks the last time a driver other than Jimmie Johnson has won the points championship.
