NASCAR WCUP: Tony Stewart shows he is more than just a driver

16 September 1999

Tony Stewart hammers away on the Habitat for Humanity project
Charlotte -- Just three days after driving his #20 Home Depot Pontiac to victory in Richmond, Va., rookie driver Tony Stewart joined volunteers from Home Depot in Charlotte, N.C. to drive nails for Habitat for Humanity. Stewart was at the construction site this morning along with team owner Joe Gibbs (pictured) to help build the first of more than 100 Habitat for Humanity houses that Home Depot plans to build across North America over the next two years with the help of its NASCAR partners.

This past weekend at Richmond International Raceway, Stewart became the first rookie since the late Davey Allison (1987) to visit the Winner's Circle in his first year of NASCAR Winston Cup competition.
