When Dale Earnhardt Jr. joined Twitter after winning the Daytona 500 earlier this year, that left only a handful of drivers in the NASCAR garage that were not officially on the popular social media website. Perhaps the biggest name not on Twitter was three-time Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart.

Although the handle @TonyStewart was created and verified by Twitter some time ago, 'Smoke' had never sent a tweet. Well, that all changed Friday afternoon.  

After sending his first tweet, Twitter blew up with drivers congratulating him and fans welcoming one of the most out-spoken drivers to the popular site. In just over an hour, Stewart's tweet have nearly 2,300 retweets and was favorited over 2,600 times.
