HOT ROD LEGEND STEWARD RETURNS TO SHORT OVALS
National Hot Rod racing legend
Andy Steward returned to the scene at Hednesford at the weekend in the
Best in Britain meeting in his first outing since 2008.
Steward, who is better known as ‘Doughnut’, was aboard the ex-Lee Carlin and Dan Buckley Peugeot 205 which, while looking venerable, conceals a new SHP chassis underneath.
Steward said: “Dan wanted a Classic Hot Rod, so I swapped him this car for my
Ford Escort. I tested at Skegness and it went well, so I am looking forward to today.”
Sadly, after good pace in the two heats, Steward was embroiled with a lap-one tangle that stopped the final and couldn’t restart.
For 2023, though, the 56-year-old has a BriSCA F2 stock car in build and almost complete. “I’m looking forward to a new challenge,” explained Steward. “It will be different but I’m up for it.”
