Tony Stewart Racing driver says Stewart, 'makes it fun to come to work.'
Rarely does a race car driver refer to his team owner as a “good dude,” but that’s the way four-time NHRA Funny Car champion Matt Hagan refers to Tony Stewart, who this year also became his teammate when he took over wife Leah Pruett’s Top Fuel dragster. “I can actually give him a bunch of crap,” Hagan says. “He’s always my boss, but now he’s a teammate and I look at him more as a teammate than a boss.” Hagan figures as long as he receives his paycheck, he’s “good to go.
” Hagan says he never had that type of relationship with his former team owner of 15 years Don Schumacher, who died last year. “When Schumacher walked in it was yes sir, no sir and you try to get out of the way,” Hagan says. “When Tony walks in I’m like, ‘What’ve you got for me today, buddy?’ He just makes it fun to come into work.”Hagan expects Stewart to win a NHRA Top Fuel event this year. “He’s just gifted and natural about anything he does,” Hagan says.
