They made their relationship official in 2020 and spent the majority of their time together during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Tony Stewart: Car Collection

If there's one thing that Stewart can't live without, it has to be cars. He is immensely passionate for them and in fact, has amassed a massive collection of some of the best cars used in the past. To start with, he has some IndyCar models with him. And obviously, Stewart has kept the #2 car from his 1997 IndyCar triumph.

Interestingly, Stewart has also preserved the #14 car from his first full outlaw race, with the winged-sprint car still kept well. He also had the car from his first-ever Chili Bowl victory with Keith Kunz in 2007. Amazingly, he has also safeguarded the car once driven by the great Steve Kinser.

Stewart's passion drove him to even get a Trans Am car inspired by his favorite movie of all time, Smokey and the Bandit. From the Cup Series point of view, he had the #20 that he drove when he was at Joe Gibbs Racing and conquered several road course races. Needless to say, Stewart had one car each from his championship victories in 2002, 2005, and 2011.

It is amazing how Stewart has assembled some of the finest cars, not because of their monetary value but because of the emotional value they carry with them. He surely depicts an unbelievable passion through his collection.
