Tony Stewart is coming back to NASCAR. But the NASCAR Hall of Famer is not returning to the Cup Series.
Instead, he is returning to the Xfinity Series on July 4th at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, according to NASCAR.com. He will compete in the Indiana 250 at the historic track on the day of America’s birth.
“Everyone knows what Indy means to me, so I can’t think of a better place to race on Fourth of July weekend,” Stewart, who grew up 45 minutes from Indianapolis in the towns of Columbus and Rushville, Indiana, said in a team release. “It’s going to be cool making history by turning left and right in a stock car at the Brickyard, and the racing will be full of action and contact. Any time you can drive any race car at the speedway is special, and you know I’m going for the win. The date is already circled on my calendar.”
