Tony Stewart was and to this day is still ranked as one of the greatest NASCAR drivers of all time. With his extensive track record in all of motorsports as well as his dominant time in NASCAR it can not be denied. So with that said his driving at the Daytona International Speedway especially was the stuff of legends. In no other way was all of this shown than in the 9 year span from 2005 to 2013 where he won 7 of those 9 years' NASCAR Xfinity Series season opening races at Daytona. This is Tony Stewart's most dominant streak.

What is your favorite Tony Stewart moment?
Be sure to watch all post race coverage on this channel directly after each race this weekend.
Magical 2011 Playoff Run against Carl. Can’t top that and the 2016 Final Win at Sonoma
Hey bud, not to be nitpicky but it’s worth mentioning that photo finish with Bowyer, Stewart had a flat tire during the final caution and had to pit. And STILL came back and won
Him moving Hamlin out of the way to win the Sonoma race back in 2016.
I was lucky enough to watch him race in the Busch race in Atlanta in 2005, he didn’t win that day but I got to appreciate his skill and talent , I was a tony fan from that day on. Rusty was retiring so I needed a new guy to follow.
“we just need more wrecked race cars. Just make the track a figure 8 and halfway through make half the field go in reverse”
I remember those days where they have betting odds for who’s to win and Tony Stewart was +300. That’s insane.
Tony should’ve had at least 1 Daytona 500 win. Stewart always ran great in the race but was never 1st when it mattered most. Him and Mark Martin in particular are 2 of the greatest drivers to never win the Great American Race.
Tony Stewart said that he would give his 19 wins at Daytona for One Daytona 500. Knowing how talented he was, he probably would’ve made those wins up no problem.
Awesome video! Still hurts me that he didn’t win in 2012. And he woulda won too if they didn’t push up in front of him. Still a great streak. Just wish he coulda won the 500
His 2011 win at Daytona is the most impressive IMO. Winning by 0.007 sec over Bowyer
“At the Stripe, IT’S BOWYER…. STEWART”-Marty Reid 2011
I’ve been waiting for someone to make a video on this. People often forget that Tony was one of the best drivers at Daytona ever.
That 2007 crash and 2008 Daytona 500 finish still hurts
Is there any better race car driver than Tony Stewart across all motorsports combined ??
I wanted him to win the 500 so bad. Best driver to never win the Daytona 500
Also 7 years in NASCAR 2 Drivers won the Championship. 2005-2011. Tony and Jimmy.
Tony is also the only driver to win a Winston Cup, Nextel Cup and a Sprint Cup.
Being a Stewart fan growing up this was a race I always looked forward to because he immediately was the favorite to win and he won it 7 times
Lets not forget Stewart’s streak of having atleast one win during Daytona Speedweeks from 2005-2013
All I know, he was amazing in this race every year. Back then when he ran, I always picked him to win.
Stewart was so dominant during that time in XFINITY. No one could compete with him.
i still find it so crazy that the two best drivers at Daytona collectively have 1 Daytona 500 win
My favorite Tony Stewart moment is when he won the championship in 2011. Second favorite would be when he wrecked Kyle Busch coming out of turn 4 at Daytona in the July race in the Burger King car to win
Imagine if tony came back for 1 last crack at the 500 and won it. I think he would still be capable, loved smoke , he was a great driver with an attitude, no messing . Definitely one of the greatest.
Just like Earnhardt, he was always so good at Daytona but the 500 seemed out of reach. But unlike Dale, he never got it. Quite a shame but still one of the best superspeedway racers ever and one of the most overlooked.
It always made me smile being a huge Tony Stewart fan, with him winning the Xfinity Series opener for so many years……. that is definitely something that I will forever cherish…
As a Smoke fan.. I will ALWAYS remember my dad and I going to the All Star Race in 2009 and seeing him stop at the backstretch grandstands, where I was sitting. That will be forever fried into my brain.
