FORT WORTH – Three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart is in the midst of his final season as a driver and a select group of fans have the opportunity to personally celebrate his illustrious career right beside him.
Stewart will be visiting Texas Motor Speedway on Wednesday, Oct. 12, to host the “Smoke Show” Fantasy Camp benefitting the Texas Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities and a limited number of spots remain for this one-of-a-kind experience that puts campers firmly inside the driving shoes of a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver.
The full day of activities with Stewart is highlighted by campers running competitive laps in a Team Texas stock car on the 1.5-mile, high-banked oval and the racing superstar taking them for a thrilling, high-speed ride in a two-seater stock car.
Various packages are available for the “Smoke Show,” beginning at $6,000.
“This is one of the greatest bucket list items you can possibly imagine,” Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage said. “Here you’ve got a guy – one of the biggest stars in the history of the sport – and he’s going to spend the whole day with you if you come out and participate in the ‘Smoke Show.’
“Here he is, finishing up his career and you’re going to get to spend this time with him. We don’t know if there’s going to be another year for the ‘Smoke Show.'”
