FORT WORTH, Texas (Oct. 12, 2026) – Plenty of star power is set to join NASCAR Hall of Famer Tony Stewart and 105.3 The Fan for the second annual Tony Stewart’s Bowling Tournament benefiting Speedway Children’s Charities at Texas Motor Speedway on Wednesday at Lucky Strike in Euless.
Stewart will team up with NASCAR Cup Series star Christopher Bell, 2025 High Limit Racing champion Rico Abreu, nine members of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) and Professional Women’s Bowling Association (PWBA), former Dallas Cowboys Dave Campo, Jay Novacek and Mike Renfro, former Dallas Star Kari Lehtonen, several local media personalities and more to help raise money for North Texas non-profit organizations supporting children in need for Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties.
Limited lanes remain for the event, but there is still time to register a four-person team here. Each team is $3,000, which includes a complimentary lane sponsorship with a company or team logo on the digital lane signs, two games per player, complimentary dinner and drinks, goody bags, and an autographed team photo with Stewart.
The two highest-scoring teams on the night will square off in the finale to determine who is crowned tournament champion. There will also be plenty of additional activities, including the “Turkey” contest sponsored by Music Creek Photography, a silent auction and the opportunity to tag in bowlers from the PBA and the PWBA for a frame throughout the evening.
All event proceeds benefit SCC-Texas, which has distributed more than $12.6 million in funding to non-profit organizations supporting children in need in Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties since 1997. Distributed funds are raised throughout the year through special events like Tony Stewart’s Bowling Tournament.
