FORT WORTH, Texas (October 2, 2025) – Tony Stewart is not the only celebrity who will be showing off their bowling skills – and passion for charitable causes – when the NASCAR Hall of Famer hosts the inaugural Tony Stewart’s Bowling Tournament benefiting Speedway Children’s Charities at Texas Motor Speedway on Wednesday at Bowlero in Euless.

Stewart will be teaming up with 11 professional bowling stars including three Hall of Famers, INDYCAR standout Santino Ferrucci, TCU men’s basketball head coach Jamie Dixon and several local media celebrities to raise money for North Texas non-profit organizations supporting children in need for Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties.

Limited lanes remain, 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. All event proceeds benefit SCC-Texas, which has distributed more than $12.4 million in funding to non-profit organizations supporting children in need in Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties since 1997.

The two highest-scoring teams will square off in the finale to determine the tournament champion. There also will be a number of additional activities throughout the evening, including the “Turkey” contest sponsored by Music Creek Photography, a silent auction and the opportunity to “tag in” athletes from the PBA and PWBA for a frame throughout the evening.
