Tony Stewart is racing in back-to-back events this weekend with hopes of extending his top 10 streak to five straight.

The retired NASCAR champion has a planned trip to Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, on Friday night to go along with a recently announced appearance at the famed Knoxville (IA) Speedway on Saturday night.

Stewart will be running a 410 sprint Friday night and a 360 Saturday night. These are the only races he's scheduled to run during the month of July.

His best finish in a 410 has been fifth place, which he accomplished in consecutive weeks at Atomic Speedway in Ross County, Ohio on June 3 and Macon (IL) Speedway on June 10 -- the start of his current four-race top 10 streak.

Stewart's fans were thrilled with his single win so far this season, a 360 sprint in United Sprint Car Series competition at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, FL, on April 1. He started at the back of the 10-car A-main.

This will be Stewart's first time competing at Knoxville since July 23, 2011, when he finished 12th in a 410. Stewart has raced both sprints and modifieds at the track in the past, but this will be his first time in a 360 at the track.

Stewart will be racing against Knoxville regulars such as points leader Clint Garner and 360 rookie McKenna Hasse, who is challenging for Rookie of the Year honors. Hasse will be racing this Saturday after being involved in a bad wreck in last weekend's race.

Hasse, like most others involved in the event, is excited that "Smoke" will be on the track this weekend.

"I always think it's cool when guys with Smoke's caliber choose to race at Knoxville, and I think it's a good deal for everyone all the way around," Hasse said. "It'll hopefully bring more fans and maybe some more cars, and it gives younger drivers like myself a chance to learn a lot from talented guys like Smoke. Knoxville has had some incredible competition and car counts this season, and this'll just add to the credibility of this season."

Stewart retired from NASCAR at the end of last season. Since then, he's been racing sprints in multiple series including Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions, American Sprint Car Series, World of Outlaws, and others. So far, he's been credited with 22 starts during the 2017 season and has one win, six top fives, and 13 top 10s.
