Three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart has made a triumphant return to Sprint Car racing Friday night. In his first race back driving those cars since suffering a broken leg in one last summer, Stewart won the race.

Stewart earned the impressive victory at Tri-City Motor Speedway in Auburn, Michigan. He made a point of not announcing when or where he would make his comeback to Sprint Car racing, but as soon as that iconic No. 14 was seen on the premises, word got out fast.

Below is a video of the champ celebrating and an interview directly following the win.
