Tony Stewart will be sporting a must-see helmet in Sunday's race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
A three-time Cup champion, Stewart is making the final Sprint Cup start of his full-time career at Indy. His helmet is a tribute to one of his heroes – A.J. Foyt. And it's also signed by the Indianapolis 500 legend.

According to Fox Sports, the message on the helmet reads: "Tony, do what you like. Your friend, A.J."
Asked about the helmet during a media session on Friday morning, Stewart said he had only heard about it.
"I haven't seen it yet, but the painter texted me about how cool this one is, and he doesn't usually do that," Stewart said. "I don't know what it looks like, but I'm keeping this one because it is my last race here."
Foyt won the Indianapolis 500 four times. He also won seven times in 128 Cup races over 34 years.
