Spend some time in a NASCAR infield and you'll understand why Tony Stewart makes so much sense as a Tailgate Nation cover boy. Stewart's known for his hard driving and his unvarnished opinions, which make him just the kind of authentic star many NASCAR fans want to root for. That’s why they fly his black and orange #20 on their flag poles and sport Home Depot logos as they camp out for days before the start of a race. And Stewart loves his legions right back. As he attests in the footage filmed during the 2007 TN cover shoot, he admires the passion and innovation that fans bring to every race. No doubt he’d fit right in with a steak, a cold drink and a bull session that lasts deep into the night.
