With the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series racing at Eldora Speedway on Wednesday, track owner Tony Stewart had quite a busy week. As a result, the former NASCAR driver spent time cutting lose Thursday.
Stewart tweeted a video that showed him having some fun with a Ford F-150 Raptor. The 46-year-old slid along a dirt path before catching some air over the crest of a hill.
More fun with the #FordRaptor. @FordPerformance built the most fun truck. Ever. #TruckYeah pic.twitter.com/3auYaWTu4w

After his off-road adventure, Stewart had to go back to acting like a track owner to help organize media rides.

He didn’t keep his serious face on for long, however, once he heard Ford’s instructions for the test drives.

Thankfully, the person who manages Ford Performance’s Twitter was prepared for his inner racer to come out, and got a great shot of one of his slides.
Wow. #Raptor. @TonyStewart @EldoraSpeedway pic.twitter.com/fi2Bkpu4oh

We wonder if Stewart’s nickname will change from “Smoke” to “Dust,” because he clearly knows how to make a lot of the latter now that he spends more time around dirt than asphalt.
