Mini Sprint Racer, E-Zine magazine for mini sprint racers

The 2009 season rolled around and Stewart was ready for his quest for a championship. He had a well sorted car and a fresh engine. Stewart knew that a big part of racing for the championship would be keeping his cool and making sure that the care went back in the trailer each night.

While Stewart will be back to defend his championship in 2010, he hopes to continue forward momentum and definitely has his eyes on a sprint car ride. Although open wheel cars on the dirt are definitely Beau’s favorite, he also would enjoy the opportunity to run pavement and even has a strong desire to do a little road racing. Stewart’s aspirations run beyond just driving, noting that he thinks it would be really cool to spend a year traveling with a World of Outlaws team.

A college freshman, Stewart has enrolled at University of Northern Ohio in their performance motorsports program. Originally he was torn between his other passion—the outdoors and even made a trip to check out Hocking Tech where he was considering pursuing a degree in forestry. In the end his love of auto racing won out and he now finds himself spending four days a week in studies at the University of Northern Ohio.

He commented that he was really enjoying the school which includes an equal split between classroom learning and shop time. One added benefit of attending UNOH is that he has renewed a friendship with Mike Streicher of Hawk Chassis. Stewart ran Hawk quarter midgets for several years.

Even though Stewart’s sport is centered around speed, his other hobbies of hunting and fishing provide the time to relax. The family home is in a rural community and Stewart is thankful that he can walk right out his back door and have a woods to hunt in and a pond to fish in. Stewart landed his first deer when he was around eleven years old and has continued to hunt ever since. Even though his first deer was scored with a gun, he says that he really enjoys using his Bow much more.

At first glance Stewart might strike you as being a little bit shy and allouf. However, if you spend a few minutes talking with him you’ll find a driven young man with his own ideas and a passion for success. The 2010 A.M.S.A. represented quite an achievement, but in talking to him you quickly get the sense that it is just one peak in his quest for the summit. Best of luck to Beau Stewart and his family during the 2010 racing season.
