any nascar fans on here?

like him or hate him, you can't deny that he's a driver; it's in his blood. he'd drive go-karts for a living if he had to. he simply cannot stop racing--it's too much a part of him. that's why i have so much admiration for him. he's not a poster child; he's not in it for the money (although i'm sure he enjoys his winnings). tony stewart drives because he's a driver. it's what he was born to do.

bumping this because tony stewart deserves congratulations. i'm thrilled he won.

another thing he did was furnish morgan sheppard with a engine so he could run the last race

Smoke FTW.

Sunday's race was the most NASCAR I have watched in years. Since Rusty Wallace retired my interest declined, but I still had vested inerest in Stewart. He was always a close 2nd to Wallace in my book. He runs hard nosed, but clean. He's not a douchecanoe like the Busch brothers or Robby Gordon.

Good to see his tear in the Chase pay off. Winning 5 of 10 races is a feat in itself. To do it to claim a championship is almost unbeleiveable.
