Animal Fair’s sniffed out one lucky dog that enjoys driving in the fast lane – Kayle, a 6-pound Chihuahua. The pooch turned racecar driver is the pet of two-time NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Champion Tony Stewart. And Kayle is giving fans some competition in the ranking as Stewart’s number one fan since she travels to every race to cheer him on!
When Stewart is not busy on the track, the Columbus, IN native works with his foundation to improve the well-being of abused or endangered animals. He commented on the mission of The Tony Stewart Foundation and why animal welfare is one of the causes close to his heart:
“Racing is my profession but I’m also driven to help others through the work of my Foundation. There are so many organizations providing outstanding service and programs and my impulse is to help them all. However, it has been necessary to focus our funding to those programs that most closely match my passions – children, animals and fellow drivers in need of assistance.”
NASCAR fans and animal lovers can learn more about Tony Stewart and Kayle in the 2013 NASCAR Pets Calendar featuring popular NASCAR drivers posing with their beloved fidos and felines. Sold by The Greg Biffle Foundation, the calendar was created to raise awareness and lend a paw to no-kill shelters and humane groups across the country.
