It is that time of the year again. It’s back to school time and Tony Stewart and Office Depot will bring a colorful paint scheme to Pocono Raceway this weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Stewart, last years NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion, will drive the No. 14 Office Depot\/Mobil 1 Chevrolet with a special back-to-school paint scheme during Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Pennsylvania 400. Along with the Office Depot Foundation’s logo appearing on the hood of Stewart’s car, the colorful paint scheme will also incorporate a variety of essential school supplies, including pencils, pens, markers, notebooks, a laptop and more.<\/p>\n

This is not to say Stewart was exactly the model student growing up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t the best student. I didn\u2019t get the best of grades, but it was because I didn\u2019t apply myself. From the time I was eight on, I wanted to be a racecar driver. I didn\u2019t understand how important school was at the time, so I didn\u2019t apply myself as well as I should have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other partners of Office Depot which will be on the car include 3M, Lenovo, Elmer’s and Monster.<\/p>\n

As for Tony Stewarts favorite subjects in class he replied with the following.<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked all of my math classes. In high school, I liked physics and geometry. Those were probably the classes I liked the best. Obviously, I didn\u2019t even realize at the time why I liked them so well, but after graduating high school and moving on, you realize how much you use all of that in racing. Those three subjects were very important and still are.\u201d<\/p>\n
