From his early years with Joe Gibbs through his days driving for the team he co-owned, Stewart-Haas Racing, Tony Stewart knew how to make an impression
Indiana native Tony Stewart earned a spot in the NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2020 on the strength of three premier series championships, 49 race wins and 187 top-five finishes over 18 years.
Always a colorful personality, Stewart also had some colorful race cars, both when he drove for fellow Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs (2020) from 1999-2008, and when he piloted his own cars with Stewart-Haas Racing from 2009-2016.
Here are 15 memorable paint schemes from Stewart’s premier series career.
