#14-Tony Stewart has earned 11 driving titles since he first wheeled a go-kart at a Westport, Ind., racetrack in 1978.
– 2 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championships (2002 and 2005) – 1 IROC Series championship (2006, which was the 30th and final year of IROC) – 1 IZOD IndyCar Series championship (1997) – 4 USAC championships (1994 Midget championship; 1995 Midget, Sprint and Silver Crown championships, a.k.a. the “Triple Crown”) – 3 Karting championships (1980 Columbus, Ind., Fairgrounds 4-cycle rookie junior class title; 1983 IKF championship; 1987 WKA championship)
Stewart is attempting to do what hasn’t been done in Sprint Cup since 1992 â a driver/owner winning a championship. The late Alan Kulwicki was the last driver/owner to win a Sprint Cup title. Stewart co-owns Stewart-Haas Racing with Gene Haas, founder of Haas Automation â the largest machine tool builder in the western world.(SHR)(11-18-2011)
