Leah Pruett took to her Instagram story to share photos alongside her husband, former NASCAR driver Tony Stewart, as they showcased their personalized Harley Davidson. This touring bike was custom-built by Southern Country Customs, a venture owned by fellow ex-NASCAR driver Rusty Wallace and his son, Steve.
Southern Country Customs (SCC) primarily specializes in customizing Harley-Davidson motorcycles, offering bespoke body kits, performance enhancements, and more.
With their mutual passion for speed, derived from their motorsport backgrounds, Pruett and Stewart decided to modify one of their Harleys. Pruett uploaded snapshots of the modified bike on her Instagram stories, capturing Stewart in action. The post reached her 371k followers. It’s noteworthy that Stewart has an estimated net worth of around $90 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
The duo is gearing up for the annual “Bike Week” event at Daytona Beach, Florida, which takes place every year from February 28 to March 9. This gathering serves as a fantastic opportunity for motorcycle enthusiasts to connect and celebrate their shared passion for biking.
Pruett also shared an image of a Bike Week T-shirt boasting a nostalgic 1980s design.
“It’s that time again!” Pruett commented in her story.
Tony Stewart expresses affection for his wife Leah Pruett
Leah Pruett and Tony Stewart exchanged vows in November 2021 after a few months of engagement and dating.
Years into their marriage, their affection for one another remains as strong as ever. Recently, Stewart highlighted an interesting aspect of their relationship. He mentioned that, unlike many husbands who cherish their work as a break from family life, he eagerly anticipates spending quality time with Pruett.
“There are many men who enjoy going to work because it allows them a little time away from their spouses. They love their lives and their wives, but some guys need that distance. For us, we can be around each other seven days a week, and it functions well at the racetrack since we’re both racers,” Stewart conveyed (via Athlon Sports).
Interestingly, he revealed that their dynamic alters once they return home; despite working closely at the racetrack, they often find themselves in separate rooms at home.
“It’s amusing because it’s quite the opposite when we’re at home,” Tony Stewart elaborated. “We tend to spend a significant amount of time in different rooms, but at the racetrack, we’re in sync, aligned in everything, and I truly appreciate our dynamic.”
Pruett has been competing in the NHRA Top Fuel series but has taken a hiatus recently. Initially, this break was due to her pregnancy and has since extended to allow her to devote more time to her child.

Johnnie Walker, the esteemed veteran radio DJ, was laid to rest, and his wife Tiggy expressed their satisfaction, stating they “couldn’t have bettered a thing” about his funeral.
In attendance at St Peter’s Church in Shaftesbury, Dorset, on Friday were Walker’s former colleagues from BBC Radio 2 and Led Zeppelin’s lead vocalist, Robert Plant. Tiggy believes that the service was one he would have truly “loved.”
A procession of motorbike enthusiasts riding Harley Davidsons, a passion of Walker’s, escorted his hearse following the ceremony.
“We couldn’t have bettered a thing about @piratejw’s send off yesterday,” shared Tiggy, who wore a vibrant pink suit for the occasion, on social media.
“The music was beautiful, the readings were fab & there was so much laughter. He left with Born To Run playing loudly! I’m sure he loved it.”
Walker passed away in December at the age of 79 after being diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a condition that leads to progressive lung scarring and makes breathing increasingly challenging, as noted by the NHS.
Tiggy, who supported him through his illness and assisted in producing his radio show from home, paid tribute to his ability to remain his “charming, humorous self to the end” in a heartfelt message shared on New Year’s Eve.
The Pallida Choir from Shaftesbury and Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman were among the performers at Walker’s service.
Prior to the funeral, Wakeman expressed his pride in being asked by Tiggy to perform his song Gone But Not Forgotten.
Walker’s passing was announced by Bob Harris on Radio 2 on New Year’s Eve; Harris recently took over hosting Walker’s Sounds Of The 70s show last November.
Among the attendees at the funeral were former BBC radio host Simon Mayo, Paul Gambaccini, BBC Radio 2’s Jo Whiley, sports presenter John Inverdale, and actress Pippa Haywood.
After the service, Radio 2’s Tony Blackburn and Jeremy Vine were spotted chatting with their former colleague Ken Bruce, who left the BBC for Bauer’s Greatest Hits Radio in 2023.
In early October, Walker announced his retirement from radio after an impressive 58-year career, due to his diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Shaun Keaveny has taken over the hosting of Radio 2’s Rock Show since Walker departed in October.
