• What the conversation is like between two racers in a relationship (Stewart and fiancee Leah Pruett)

• Trying to describe the sensation of speed driving a Top Fuel dragster compared other vehicles he’s driven

• Why Stewart says it’d be “suicidal” for him to try to compete in NHRA

• Why Matt Hagan was a good fit for TSR

• If there’s anything left Stewart hasn’t driven

• Where Stewart sees NHRA in the motorsports landscape
