HOT SHOTS: Top Fuel Tony.

What's special about a chubby guy with a trophy? We've all seen plenty of those. But this is Tony Stewart, the man nicknamed 'smoke' because he would burn the rubber on his outside rear tyre in NASCAR, and he has just added a massive new milestone to a career that includes victories in everything from Speedcars and Sprintcars to championships in NASCAR and the Indy Racing League. He just won the NHRA Top Fuel title at the four-wide nationals in Las Vegas, completing the transition when he took over his wife Leah Pruett's car while she had their first child.
