Blazing Tires and Legendary Firepower Collide as Tony Stewart and Drag Racing Icon Shirley Muldowney Join Forces for a Thunderous Return to the Track in a High-Octane Eldora Speedway Promotion That Promises to Set the Racing World Ablaze With Power, Passion, and Pure Adrenaline
After years of blazing separate paths through motorsports history, two of racing’s most iconic figures — Tony Stewart and Shirley Muldowney — are teaming up for an electrifying return like no other. The powerhouse duo has announced a special comeback tour, launching with a high-profile promotion at Eldora Speedway that is already sending shockwaves through the racing world.
Stewart, a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and owner of Eldora Speedway, is no stranger to thrilling crowds. But joining forces with Shirley “Cha Cha” Muldowney — the first woman to earn a license from the NHRA and a multiple-time Top Fuel drag racing champion — raises the stakes to historic levels. This event is more than just a reunion of greatness; it’s a collision of motorsport royalty set to ignite a new era of fan-fueled excitement.
Dubbed Nitro & Smoke: The Ultimate Comeback Tour, this collaboration promises jaw-dropping speed, showmanship, and a tribute to the fierce competitive spirit that defined both Stewart and Muldowney’s legendary careers.
Eldora Speedway, known for its unforgiving dirt and electric atmosphere, will host the spectacle — a symbolic battleground where legends return not to relive the past, but to redefine the future.
“They’ve done it all, won it all, and now they’re doing it again,” said one track official. “This isn’t about looking back. It’s about lighting up the road ahead.”
Get ready. When nitro meets dirt, history doesn’t just repeat—it roars.
