It’s a boy! Tony Stewart shares excitement
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Tony Stewart took to social media on Monday to express his excitement that he and Leah Pruett, an American semi-retired drag racer, are expecting a baby boy.
Stewart wrote in a Facebook post: “I’m so excited to start a family with this incredibly beautiful love of my life Leah Pruett. Can’t wait to meet this little guy. This is the ultimate

The pair announced the pregnancy on Monday.
In December, Pruett said she would step away from the NHRA drag racing series this year to focus on starting a family with Stewart.
Pruett’s NASCAR Hall of Famer husband replaced her in the Top Fuel dragster that she drove to a career-best third-place finish in the NHRA standings last year.
Pruett and Stewart married just over two years ago.
The couple is expected to welcome their newborn in November.
