Nitro & Smoke: Tony Stewart and Shirley Muldowney Unite for the Ultimate Comeback Tour
Eldora Speedway Promotion
Two Legends. One Track. History’s About to Burn Rubber…
Eldora Speedway is about to erupt with the sound of legends.
In a move no one saw coming—but everyone will want to witness—Tony Stewart and Shirley Muldowney are teaming up for the Nitro & Smoke Comeback Tour, and it kicks off right here at the famed Eldora clay oval. This is more than a race; it’s a thunderous celebration of grit, glory, and two of the fiercest names in motorsports history.
Tony Stewart, a NASCAR champion and dirt track icon, is no stranger to Eldora—he owns the place. But this time, he’s stepping back into the spotlight not as a promoter, but as a driver with something to prove. Alongside him? The legendary Shirley Muldowney, the first lady of drag racing, a three-time Top Fuel champion, and the woman who redefined what it meant to dominate a racetrack.
“This isn’t a farewell,” Stewart said. “This is a fire-up.”
And Muldowney didn’t mince words either:
“We’re not here to wave to the fans—we’re here to shake the ground.”
The Showdown at Eldora
The Eldora stop of the Nitro & Smoke tour promises a wild mix of cross-discipline racing and showmanship. Expect a little chaos and a lot of horsepower. Stewart will return to the driver’s seat in a dirt-modified stock car, while Muldowney plans to unleash a nostalgia dragster in a one-of-a-kind exhibition on the dirt.
Yes, you read that right: Muldowney’s bringing nitro to the clay.
Also on the schedule are head-to-head challenge runs, legends Q&A sessions, behind-the-scenes pit access, and a dramatic night show finale that promises noise, fire, and unforgettable moments under the Ohio stars.
Legends, Not Memories
What makes this event so powerful isn’t just the names—it’s the attitude. Stewart and Muldowney aren’t just showing up to relive old glories. They’re bringing the same edge, risk, and swagger that made them famous.
“We’re still racers,” Muldowney said. “That’s who we are. We’ll be racers until our last breath.”
This tour is for fans who crave raw, unscripted adrenaline—and for anyone who believes that age doesn’t slow passion down. It sharpens it.
One Chance to Witness It
Eldora Speedway has seen legends, but never like this. Two icons from different worlds, united by speed, fire, and a refusal to slow down. Tickets are already moving fast, and with fans traveling in from across the country, this is set to be one of the most talked-about motorsports events of the year.
If you love racing, don’t just hear about it later.
Be there. Feel it.
Nitro & Smoke is coming. And Eldora’s about to blow.
