Tony Stewart will add another accomplishment Jan. 6 to his impressive career resume - hockey coach.
2005 Allstate 400 at the Brickyard winner Stewart, a native and resident of Columbus, Ind., will serve as "Honorary Assistant Coach" of the Indiana Ice against the Sioux Falls Stampede on Friday, Jan. 6 at the Pepsi Coliseum, located at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Game time is 7 p.m. (local time).
The Ice will announce "lucky rows" throughout the game, and fans seated in those rows will have the opportunity to meet reigning NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series champion Stewart and get an autograph.
The Tony Stewart Foundation, which supports numerous local and national youth-focused charitable causes, will benefit from the game as the Ice will pledge $2 from every ticket sold to the Foundation.
In addition, the Ice will raffle two collectible jerseys during the game, and the winners will meet Stewart and get an autograph. A silent auction also will take place, with proceeds going to the Tony Stewart Foundation.
"I've been a big fan of hockey since I attended a Dallas Stars game in Texas several years ago, but having the opportunity to support my hometown team and sit right on the ice will be a very cool experience," Stewart said. "I'm looking forward to greeting the fans and the Ice players, and my thanks go to the whole organization for supporting the Tony Stewart Foundation."
J.D. Byrider, a longtime Stewart backer, is sponsoring the night.
Tickets for J.D. Byrider Night with Stewart and the Indiana Ice are available at the Pepsi Coliseum and Conseco Fieldhouse box offices, or at all Ticketmaster locations, by phone at (317) 239-5151 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.
