Folks, NASCAR drivers have shown us adaptability. We have seen aggressive drivers turn mellow and composed. Take Kyle Busch, a guy who goes around as Rowdy, as an example. From the guy escalating into a situation where the opponent throws a punch to asking a younger driver for advice for his son’s development, this character arc showcases a lot! In a similar vein, Tony Stewart has never been one to flinch. Three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, NHRA team owner, and the guy who made helmets fly and tempers flare. Whether trading paint at Daytona or throwing fists on the pit road, Stewart built his legacy on being unapologetically fearless. But things look different now.

Six months into fatherhood, Tony Stewart is now facing a new kind of challenge. Now, this one doesn’t involve horsepower, tire strategy, or angry post-race interviews. And thanks to wife Leah Pruett and a hilariously themed Instagram video, NASCAR fans just witnessed what might be Smoke’s most terrifying moment yet. And they can’t stop laughing.

I’m the one who… changes Dominic’s diapers

Tony Stewart and Leah Pruett tied the knot on November 21, 2021, in a picturesque ceremony in Los Cabos, Mexico. After building their relationship through shared passions in motorsports, the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Dominic, on November 17, 2024. Since then, they have embraced parenthood while balancing their racing careers and family life.

Just three months ago, Tony Stewart opened up about his fatherhood journey in a candid interview. He admitted that he had never changed a diaper before. But, he quickly justified it by insisting he was “ready” for the challenge, but only if it happened “in the right situation.” Stewart’s honest confession sparked curiosity and playful bets among fans, all eager to see when the NASCAR legend would finally tackle this classic parenting milestone.

The day finally came, and it was every bit as entertaining as fans could have hoped. Leah Pruett captured Tony Stewart’s first-ever diaper change on video, and the NASCAR Hall of Famer didn’t disappoint. Fully embracing the moment (and his nerves), Stewart suited up in a “Breaking Bad” inspired hazmat outfit, complete with apron, goggles, gloves, and a face shield, as the iconic theme music played in the background.

Visibly anxious but determined, Stewart approached the task with the seriousness of a pit stop under caution. Despite his elaborate getup and initial hesitation, he managed to complete the diaper change without a hitch. In the end, Stewart was one relieved man. There was also hope and happiness on his face, as he realised that these things “only get easier with time.” The video not only showcased Stewart’s sense of humor and flair for the dramatic but also marked a new milestone in his journey as a father. However, it’s good to see Smoke taking some burden off his wife’s shoulders.

Leah Pruett and Tony Stewart welcomed baby Dominic into the world in November 2024. But with a racing transition in line, Pruett took charge and ensured smooth management. Expressing his gratitude, Smoke said back then, “She has literally, the whole season, moved us into a new house, a second trip got the baby room done,” he said. “Got travel stuff ready to go for when we’re traveling to the races on the weekends. She has worked her a– off for this child and for us as a family. She’s done that and done all the hard work. In the meantime, I’ve been out racing and having fun doing what I do.” And Leah left her NHRA spot to Tony, who, let’s just say, made the most out of it.

He won the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals a few weeks ago for his first career Top Fuel victory. But now, the champion’s caring father side is taking over the internet. The NASCAR community couldn’t get enough. As the video spread, fans and fellow drivers flooded social media with laughter, memes, and playful admiration for Stewart’s over-the-top approach to fatherhood. Let’s take a look at the hilarious reactions and why this diaper change instantly became a classic NASCAR moment.

NASCAR fans lose it over Tony Stewart’s ‘Breaking Dad’ debut

Once Leah Pruett hit “post” on Tony Stewart’s diaper-changing debut, the NASCAR internet lit up like a caution flag at Talladega. From racing diehards to new parents who’ve been through the diaper trenches themselves, the comments section on the viral video became an instant comedy club.

“Congratulations. Yes, it does get easier,” one fan offered warmly, likely a fellow parent watching Stewart’s hazmat-suit-level nerves and remembering their own first time. But others took a far more traumatized toddler point of view. “Poor kid’s gonna have nightmares his whole life 🤯,” another fan joked, reacting to Tony’s full ‘Breaking Bad’ get-up like it was something out of a sci-fi baby horror flick.

And speaking of the theme music, NHRA Dragster driver Melanie Johnson nailed what everyone else was thinking. “The Breaking Bad theme music 👏😂.” Stewart himself even chimed in with a rare reply, proving he’s got dad jokes ready to go: “@melaniejohnsonracing Glad someone got it 😂.”

But not everyone was concerned with just this diaper mission. One veteran parent warned what’s really waiting down the road: “Wait until he fountain pee’s on you in the middle of the change 🤭.” Ah, yes, rookie dads (and moms) beware! The baby booby traps get more unpredictable.

Despite the theatrics, Stewart’s effort was met with widespread admiration. “You will be a champ at diaper changing in no time 😂😉,” one user predicted. And finally, with a comment that summed up the mood perfectly, someone simply declared, “You win the internet today 😂😂.”

Turns out, “Smoke” might be just as entertaining in the nursery as he ever was on the racetrack.
