Aside from the fact that I like most any kind of auto racing, I like NASCAR for guys like Tony Stewart.
The former open wheel driver, now driving a Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, has a long history of being a sometimes pain in the ass tough guy with a heart of gold ... on and off the track.
Apparently he and buddy-fellow racer, Kevin Harvick, made a bet. If Harvick could raise $100,000 for the Petty's Victory Junction Gang charity, Stewart would have his back waxed.
Harvick raised $125,000, and last night Stewart paid off and had his back waxed live on his (usually every Tuesday night) Sirius radio show. (I miss my Sirius!)
Asked if it hurt worse than hitting a wall at 180 mph, Stewart replied," Yeah, it does. Just not as long."
Gotta love those good ol' boys, Southern or not!
