Tony Stewart is honoring one of Daytona Beach’s favorite sons this weekend — Dale Earnhardt.
“Smoke,” coming off his first win since 2013 last weekend at Sonoma Raceway, will sport a black helmet Saturday night for the Coke Zero 400 Powered by Coca-Cola (7:45 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). A likeness of “The Intimidator” is on either side, with a quote on the back from Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No fire could burn his character. No stone could break it.

Earnhardt won three times at the 2.5-mile track during his career. Stewart has four Daytona wins, all in the summer.
