On Oct. 27-28, two-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart gave FanHouse Senior Writer Holly Cain a rare 48-hour All-Access Pass. She spent two days behind the scenes following Stewart through a typical mid-week routine that started at a photo shoot in Mooresville, N.C., and finished the next night 900 miles away in Talladega, Ala. In this two-part series, you'll find an in-depth look at the professional and private side of Stewart beyond the track. The second installment is a revealing look at Stewart who talks about his image, lessons learned and his hope to start a family.
Tony Stewart ducked into the photography studio's tiny make-up room, quickly stripped off his driver's suit and stood in his underwear and T-shirt while two ladies from a Brooks Brothers fine clothing store in Charlotte, N.C., rolled in a rack of dress shirts and pants samples.
They sized him up and took measurements for an order of new suits while Stewart relentlessly teased them and made wisecracks every time they checked his inseam and backside or adjusted his shirt collar to find the right fit.
Blushing a bit and smiling a lot, the women admitted afterward that they had been nervous about this assignment on the 45-minute drive from Charlotte, N.C. Neither followed NASCAR much, but they both knew of Stewart.
"We'd seen him on TV and knew he could be feisty, but he just made us feel so comfortable,'' one of the tailors confided with a wide grin. "It wasn't what I was expecting at all. It was fun.
"He was just great, better than most all of our reg-u-lar customers,'' she added in a dramatic Southern drawl, clearly smitten with Stewart.
