Meanwhile, Pruett married Gary Pritchett, before filing for divorce in 2019, retaining her maiden name.
Speaking about his relationship, Stewart said that during the quarantine months, he spent time with her in Arizona. Apparently, it was a relatively quiet and peaceful affair, as not many people knew of his whereabouts.
He said, “It’s nice to be with somebody who is also involved in racing and understands it. Understands the demands and the pressures and stresses, and it goes the other way too.”
Tony Stewart insisted that it was important to know each other’s industry
According to him, it is important to learn about his girlfriend’s industry and vice-versa. However, one of the biggest priorities was trying to get through the calendar year. He is proud of the fact that everyone has adjusted to whatever obstacle was in their way.

The two got together sometime in April 2020, and since then, have been going steady and enjoying each other’s company. In fact, the two of them even hung out with Ken Block for a spot of dirt racing.
Now, Tony Stewart is preparing himself for the inaugural season of the Superstar Racing Experience. This series was his brainchild, and he is competing alongside a number of well-known stars. The series has already announced a six-race schedule that starts in June.
The race venues are Stafford, Nashville, Knoxville, Eldora, Lucas Oil, and the Slinger Speedway. All six races are expected to air on the CBS network, and the paddock starts its journey in the North East.
After that, the series heads to the Midwest for the conclusion of the inaugural season. Hopefully, the maiden season goes off successfully, without a hitch.
