Tony Stewart will present the Indiana State Police unit with bulletproof, stab-proof vests for police dogs on Thursday at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Clermont, Indiana.
Stewart donated money to provide 30 vests for the state police’s K-9 unit and for 10 for dogs in Georgia, North Carolina, New Mexico and Minnesota.
The vests costs $695 each, according to Susie Jean of Socorro, N.M.’s website. That would bring the total of all K-9 bulletproof vests at nearly $28,000.

Sit tight, I don’t believe it’s that kind of press conference.
Tony Stewart will take part in the weekly NASCAR teleconference for members of the media tomorrow at 2 p.m.
But here’s the interesting part - Ryan Newman will also be giving a weekly teleconference CAM for members of the media tomorrow at 3 p.m.
NASCAR usually holds the press conferences for media to call in and ask questions at 2 p.m. but they’re doing a special one this week.
Makes you think, doesn’t it?
