Stewart wins Humanitarian award

The Home Depot and the National Motorsports Press Association (NMPA) announced recently that Tony Stewart is the winner of the 2010 NMPA Home Depot Humanitarian Award. Stewart was presented with the specially-designed Humanitarian of the Year crystal award and a $100,000 cash donation to the Tony Stewart Foundation during the annual Myers Brothers Award luncheon in Las Vegas. "It was a great honor to be nominated, but to win is incredibly humbling," Stewart said. "When we set out and created the Prelude to the Dream, and worked with Eddie Gossage and his staff at Texas Motor Speedway to establish the Smoke Show, our goal was really simple  to help people. We're proud to say we've done a lot of that, but there is still a lot more to do. We're grateful for this award, because the recognition will allow us to make the Prelude and the Smoke Show better than they ever were before." Stewart Haas Racing
