Tony Stewart talks about sleeping with his pet pig
During an interview shared on the Stewart-Haas Racing YouTube channel, Smoke was shown a picture of him sleeping along with his pet pig.
Looking at the image, the former NASCAR driver mentioned, “I had a pet pig and that pig would lay there. That’s exactly where that pig would fall asleep every night, right on the edge of my shoulder and arm.”
He added, “50-pound miniature pig that loved grapes. He would literally stand on his back legs just stand up and beg for a grape. But that’s the way every night…”
Later on, Smoke was asked if his love life was affected during this point in time. He subsequently responded, “Challenging with a pig in the room.”
Stewart has a penchant for unique pets
While having a pig as a pet is not as common as a dog, some people still do have them. However, in the past, Stewart had even wilder and more interesting pets in his possession.
Interestingly, he had a pet monkey named Mojo as his pet at one point in time. Stewart would even bring Mojo over to the race track from time to time. Eventually, he was donated to the monkey exhibit at the Louisville Zoo.
Meanwhile, Smoke does have a couple of dogs and cats as his pets as well along with a foundation that works toward helping stray, sick as well as at-risk and endangered animals.
