Today was the comeback of comeback's. Cousin Carl got OWNED!

One of the best NASCAR races ever. Smoke OWNED!

I had to work from 5am to 5:30pm. Fucking missed everything. Glad Smoke won though!

Why is he known as 'Smoke'? I would Google, but this is one of the few times I'll ever discuss racing, so cherish it.

"Tony Stewart told NASCAR.com of his nickname: "I wasn't very good about not slipping the right-rear tire, initially. So it started as 'Smoker,' then it got shortened to 'Smoke.' Then when I got in the Indy Racing League it was 'Smoke' because one of the guys on the crew who was my roommate, and knew the nickname, carried it over to the IndyCar team. But then when I started blowing engines, 'Smoke' really stuck. I've had it ever since".

that was probably the craziest race I've ever seen, look liked he was fucked after going back to 40th buth just burned through the field eventually taking the lead only to give it back up on 2 late pit mistakes. Dude passed 118 cars throughout the race, That's a mother fucker who wanted the title. He was already a legend because of his versatility but this win just added to it.

Not much of a fan, but Stewart used to race at Indy and always seemed like a cool guy.

I like Stewart. He embodies the attitude of old-school NASCAR.
