Ever since the inception of NASCAR, there have been numerous instances where father-son duos or brothers have dominated the tracks. However, racing couples are not commonplace in the world of racing, but Tony Stewart and his wife Leah Pruett are ready to alter the narrative. 

It was just days back that Stewart announced that he would replace Leah as Tony Stewart Racing’s entry in the NHRA Top Fuel category. The couple is planning to start a family. As a result of the unanticipated announcement, a whole spectrum of conjectures has been flooding the internet speculating whether Pruett is already an expectant.

This was also evident during the PRI Show, where the racing couple had announced the sabbatical for Pruett. During one of the media availabilities, a fan in the presence of the couple was heard saying, “Tony is driving, Leah is pregnant.” To which Pruett curtly replied, “No, I am not.”

Stewart also voiced his defense of the rumor. To defend his statement, the fan tried to justify it by saying, “It says right here on the internet.” Pruett’s husband asserted, “She is not pregnant.” In order to get to the root of the problem, Pruett asked the individual, about the origin of the news, “Where? Show me.”

Not having to find a justifiable answer, Pruett retorted, “Where does it say? Nowhere does it say I am pregnant. That’s the important part of the narrative that I am not.”

He stated, “I’ve been asking myself that literally the last seven days. I’ve come to a solution on that. I’m way more scared about starting a family, I can barely take care of myself. I’ve joked around that if and when that happens, if this kid can make it to three years old on its own, it’s got a shot at surviving.”

“I don’t have any experience as a parent but I have a lot of driving and this is definitely one of the biggest jumps I’ve ever made in my driving career, but at least I have a little bit of an idea and what’s going on.”

Having each other back since 2021, Tony Stewart and Leah Pruett have shown what marital bliss looks like. With the hopes of starting a family soon, it will be interesting to see what lies ahead for the couple in their joyous journey.
