Ha, this should be a ton of fun for anyone who loves Nascar and inparticular Tony Stewert.

Nascar driver Tony Stewert is in Las Vegas for the 400 Sprint Cup Kobalt Tools race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this Sunday.

Well before that happens he will be playing cab driver as part of promoting the race.

Today he was actually practicing.

I'm not exactly sure what day he is to do this but it's before the race so any day now.

Wouldn't it be cool to be waiting for the cab and Stewert pulls up in a #14 Mobil 1 Chevrolet stock car to give you a ride????

I bet a lot more people will be calling for a cab just in hopes that he will be the one driving.

I just hope that he remembers hes driving a cab and not a race car and keeps his speed down. Lol.

This will be a great way to advertise the race and will also bring a lot of extra business to the cab companies as everyone will be calling for a cab, as I said, just in hopes that he will be their driver.

I just read an article about Tony Stewart playing cabbie in Las Vegas, the article was found in the Las Vegas Sun.

Tony Stewart was playing cabbie at the MGM yesterday and he gave cab rides in his Mobil 1 race car to people going to the McCarran Airport.
David Copperfield was the first to ride with Tony Stewart in the Mobil 1 race car as the ceremonial first ride.

Yeah, that would have been great to ride with Tony in his race car. If I were at the MGM and caught wind of it, I would have flagged him down for a ride to the airport even if I wasn't leaving Las Vegas.

I bet the ride fare with Tony Stewart's "day as a cabbie" was pretty steep too, but it would have been worth it for the bragging rights!
