Stewart shared that he arrived late at IMS after running the Coke Zero Sugar 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and he recalled the historic track being 'alive'."I remember in 99 when I ran the double. I remember coming and nobody was allowed to stay inside the racetrack at night. And I got back about one o'clock in the morning from running in Charlotte. And I'm not joking. It was alive. The whole place was alive," Stewart said."And I've told the story to people and they look at you like, 'Come on man'. And the amount of noise that was inside that place and what sound, the activity that you could hear, it was like, it was like the movie Field of Dreams. It was like, as soon as it got dark and nobody was around, everybody came out and did what they do every night. And you could hear it," he added.Tony Stewart then talked about how he has suspicious beliefs about the existence of paranormal activities and such, however, he still firmly believes that IMS was alive and breathing that very night in 1999.Stewart-Haas Racing, co-owned by Tony Stewart, has announced its closure after the 2024 season.
