The intense criticism she has always faced is examined as is the way she motivates herself and has inspired a young generation of racers who look up to her. Tony Stewart at The Brickyard Our roots as humans stem from home. For Tony Stewart home is Indiana. He grew up racing sprint cars at Indianapolis Raceway Park and other short tracks and dreamed of one day racing the Indianapolis 500. As his career turned to NASCAR, his dream of winning the Indy 500 took a backseat. His career blossomed with many race wins and multiple championships. He continued to hang onto his sprint car roots; racing in the series when his NASCAR schedule allowed. One month ago, he lost his good friend and former roommate Jason Leffler. In a conversation with ESPNs Marty Smith at the Brickyard, Stewart will look at his roots as a racer and how losing a friend has changed his life.(ESPN)
