Tony Stewart says he will retire from Sprint Cup racing following the 2016 season. The three-time NASCAR champion announced his decision Wednesday at the Stewart-Haas Racing shop in North Carolina, saying ''next year will be my last year in the Sprint Cup Series.'' He said it was ''100 percent'' his choice. Stewart will be 45 next season, hasn't won a race in over two years and has been privately working on finding a successor for the No. 14 Chevrolet all year.
