Stewart was one of five inductees Friday night into the 11th class of NASCAR's Hall of Fame, a group that is essentially a celebration of Joe Gibbs Racing.
Waddell Wilson, an engine builder and crew chief who was team manager of Stewart's first foray into NASCAR also was inducted.
Stewart turns 49 in May and says he's too young to be in a Hall of Fame. He hasn't been entirely comfortable with all the attention that has come with his induction. But as the calendar has crept closer to the ceremony, Stewart has finally embraced this next chapter.
