Leah Pruett Cheers Son Dom at Indianapolis “Baby Walker Nationals” Showdown

Leah Pruett captured hearts today, August 31, 2025, when she shared a playful family moment from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway: NHRA Top Fuel ace Pruett and husband Tony Stewart rallied their nine-month-old son, Dominic “Dom” James Stewart, during his first toddler race in the annual Baby Walker Nationals.

In a brief Instagram story, Pruett filmed Dom racing in a red crawler, clad in a miniature blue “Stewart” jersey, as Stewart - clad in his NHRA fire suit - waved an orange plush toy at the finish line to urge their son forward. Pruett’s caption read: “Lost some ET mid track, but made it to the stripe under power.”

Shortly thereafter, motorsports reporter Kelly Crandall reposted the clip on X (formerly Twitter), quipping: “If you had Tony Stewart in his NHRA fire suit holding a stuffed animal trying to get his son Dom to win the toddler race at Indianapolis in the year 2025, please collect your winnings.”

Despite Tony Stewart’s own 10th-place finish on the track today, it was this charming parenting cameo that dominated social feeds and underscored the couple’s seamless blend of racing passion and family life.

Dom James Stewart was born November 17, 2024, prompting Pruett to pause her driving career for motherhood while Stewart took over her Top Fuel seat at Tony Stewart Racing. Today’s footage signals that, even in stepping away from full-time competition, Pruett remains deeply connected to both her family and her NHRA roots.
