Tony Stewart Page - 3 Sisters Racing

NASCarla here...Tony is way up there on top of my favorite driver list! My interest in Tony started when Buckshot Jones lost his ride - I was depressed for quite a few races. On one of my road trips to Talladega the Home Depot car caught my eye (that's back when it was a Grand Prix). I spent a lot of money at Home Depot as a dairy farmer, so this driver choice of mine was initially sponser-based. Turns out I made an excellent choice, that was in 2002, the year Tony

won the Championship! I love his driving style, his 'bad-boy' attitude, his looks - I love everything I see and hear about him (although I'm a little hesitant about the monkey...). Last year, October of 2004, I finally got to meet Tony when they all came to Kansas. Kathy, Sheryl, Pam and her mom, and I stood in line at the Home Depot store for 3 hours, that is another fun part about being a fan... well, between the boredom and intense anticipation, it has fun moments. Like when people kept asking Kathy and I if we fight a lot - she was all in her Jimmy Johnson Lowe's gear, in the Home Depot Store! She's got a lot of nerve, doesn't she? Tony was absolutely awesome when we finally reached him, although I'm a little peeved that Kathy received more attention from my favorite driver than I did, even with my leather Tony Stewart jacket and short black "20" skirt... Tony kept looking at her, shaking his head and smiling. Kathy said to Tony "We're sisters and we share things, but not our drivers!" He even tried to get the security guard to arrest Kathy for her Jimmie Johnson get-up, but Kathy said that would be OK, Jimmie would bail her out... So I've been shopping around this past year, trying to find something to wear at the 2005 Kansas autograph signing, something that will keep Tony's attention on me and not my sisters! By the way, that will be on October the 6th at the Home Depot store on 135th street in Overland Park, Kansas. Just check out the details at www.tonystewart.com, look under Appearances. When I see Tony this year I've got two questions for him; will you marry me? and, do you inspect the fences before you crawl up on the flag stand? I just love it when you do that Tony - keep in mind that when you win at the Kansas race this year, my seat will be just to your right - I'll be waiting for you!

Got to meet Tony AGAIN! It took 7 hours - but man, was it worth the wait! Judy arrived first, around 1o'clock Oct. 6th at the Home Depot in Overland Park, Kansas. Kind of a chilly day, but perfect for my leather Tony Stewart jacket (it's all about me, right?). I arrived around 1:30, fashionably later than Judy, I won't be doing that next year, by that time there were around 200 Tony fans in front of us. Robby Young, my supervisor at work, showed up a little later with youngest son Zack; Robby's wife was out rounding up oldest son Morgan... what a hectic day for them! After they handed out the wristbands we were sent outside - brrrrrrr... Which was kind of cool, we got to see a couple of Tony Stewart Monte Carlo's, and watch the fans roll in. 700 wristbands were handed out - Tony has tons of fans! He was a little late (I forgive him), and ran us through the line like nobody's business, that was kind of a bummer, but we all get why they're late sometimes. Those drivers schedules have to be grueling, I appreciate the few seconds I got! I handed Tony a picture to sign, and our new 3 Sisters Racing autograph cards for him to keep - he actually read the 3 Sisters Racing title, and smiled! So, I'm waiting for an e-mail Tony - hopefully you'll check out this page... especially since I didn't get to ask you a couple of things. Like, do you check out the fence before the race? And were you planning on going out to Lakeside to watch the TORA races, or the Modifieds? Didn't see you there. Jeff Hammond was sitting right next to us, would have preferred you! Or J.J. Yeley - was really nice to meet him, gave him one of our cards too - J.J. is now on my Favorite Driver list. I think it's great when drivers take the time to meet fans, that's a great way to bring attention to their skills - sometimes meeting a driver is the only way I ever notice them - there are so many - so many new guys coming in. I don't think anybody will take Tony's place at the top of my list! Congratulations for your finish in Kansas, and staying on top in the points!
