Clean-shaven Tony Stewart looks like he’s barely aged since he made his Nascar Cup Series debut in 1999. But he’s much different than he was 25 years ago.

Stewart, 53, and his wife Leah Pruett are expecting their first child in November. It’s a big change for Stewart, and it coincides with a plethora of shifts in his professional career.

“Absolutely not,” Stewart joked about being ready to become a father. “With everything we’ve done in motor sports, I can walk up to a racecar I’ve never driven and I can look at it and understand the majority of it before I ever make a lap in it. [Having a child] is a side that I have zero setup sheets and zero knowledge about. My wife laughs at me because I have a ‘Daddy App’ that gives me hints and tips every day.”
