Now that he isn’t manning the wheel of the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford — that duty now belongs to Clint Bowyer, currently 12th in points — three-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champ Tony Stewart has a little more free time on his hands to get out in the community and do some fun stuff.
“Smoke” was on hand at the Liberty University baseball game on Friday, tossing out the first pitch before the Flames took down High Point, 11-1.

Whoa — 200 mph on the radar gun, eh? Seems a little generous, but you know how biased those home-field score keepers tend to be.
