Tony Stewart confirms retirement rumors

Tony Stewart has proven the retirement tumors true. Stewart revealed Sunday that 2016 will be his last full-time season as a driver. His career has been in a downfall over the past few seasons, which played a huge part in his decision. The news that Clint Bowyer will drive the #51 HScott Motorsports Chevrolet, replacing Justin Allgaier next year, and then replace Stewart in the Stewart-Haas Racing #14 Chevrolet, appears to be holding true as well. Stewart won 48 Sprint Cup races in his first 15 seasons on the circuit, but has yet to visit victory lane since his come-from-behind win at Dover in June of 2013. He has missed several races since then in the aftermath of two sprint car incidents. Stewart is a three-time series champion, winning it in 2002, 2005 and 2011.
