American Rebel Congratulates Tony Stewart on Top Fuel Victory at Gerber Collision & Glass NHRA Route 66 Nationals
American Rebel Holdings Inc Stewart's Fourth Consecutive Final and Second Victory of his Top Fuel Career American Rebel Light Beer Sponsorship of Tony Stewart Racing Drivers Tony Stewart and Matt Hagan Celebrate Stewart Win and Stewart Heads to 109th Indianapolis 500 to Join the INDYCAR on FOX team for Pre-Race Show Nashville, TN, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) ("American Rebel" or the "Company"), creator of American Rebel Beer ( and a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of branded safes, personal security and self-defense products and apparel ( is proud to congratulate Tony Stewart on his victory at the Gerber Collision & Glass NHRA Route 66 Nationals in the Top Fuel Dragster ( this past weekend at the Route 66 Raceway ( in Chicago. This past weekend's race marked the fourth consecutive final for Stewart and the second victory of his Top Fuel Career. 'I said at Vegas that I was extremely impressed and pleased with the progress our team has been making,' said Stewart. 'There were tricky track conditions on Friday, so I was excited about getting number one qualifier in Q1. There are a lot of heavy hitters that can really perform when the track is great and we just hadn't been there yet. When the track cooled off and we ran a 3.67 (ET) yesterday, we got really excited. We had talked amongst our group about how tough it is to race for a championship at the end of the season when we haven't raced in cooler conditions like we will have in the Fall. We had that this weekend, so to run that well was very encouraging. Now we have data that we can go back and look at and won't be starting from scratch. We had a mixture of warm and cool conditions today for eliminations. I talked with Leah (Pruett, Stewart's wife and driver of the Tony Stewart Racing ( Top Fuel Dragster until she stepped away to start a family) before the Final about what I had to do to beat Justin (Ashley). We concluded I had to just keep doing what I've been doing and get up on the wheel. You know when you race Justin, you have to bring your 'A game' and rise to the occasion. His reaction times are the best out here and he does that both in qualifying and eliminations. That makes today's win for our Rinnai crew that much more special. They have a great team and program. When you can beat them, it is a feather in your cap because you're beating one of the best teams in the business.' 'I couldn't be more proud for Tony, Leah, Matt and the entire Tony Stewart Racing team,' said American Rebel CEO Andy Ross. 'Tony making four consecutive finals with two of them being wins is amazing; and Matt is also running really well. Our distributors, retailers and customers love our association with Tony Stewart Racing and Tony's support team have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help American Rebel Beer every way they can. It's been a fantastic experience!' Stewart's previous three consecutive final-round appearances came at the 65th NHRA Winternationals, NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Las Vegas, and American Rebel Light NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Charlotte in addition to the fourth consecutive final-round appearance at the Gerber Collision & Glass NHRA Route 66 Nationals in Chicago. The fact that Tony Stewart may be the most versatile driver in the history of auto racing was highlighted again this weekend as Stewart earned a trifecta in Chicago with Stewart's previous win on the oval track in Chicago, his win as a team owner with driver Donny Schatz's 2005 and 2017 wins on the dirt track, and now Stewart's win in Top Fuel on the dragstrip.
