Tony Stewart is a Dick

Tony Stewart already has an agreement in place to leave Joe Gibbs racing at the end of this season and join a new team, of which he is 50% owner.
This would be like a free agent in one of the team sports signing with a new team during the season, and still playing out the year with his old squad.
And instead of handling this awkward situation like a gentleman Stewart has acted like a jerk.
At the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 his feud with his team and in particular crew chief Greg Zipadelli, with whom he won two Cup titles, escalated.
First, you'll see the highlights of the race, in which Stewart was gradually reeled in by Jimmie Johnson, then you'll hear the exchange between Stewart and Zipadelli.



Think how awesome it is that in NASCAR you can hear the private conversations of the driver and his pit crew. Imagine if you could hear the manager talking to his tired pitcher, or NFL coaches on the sidelines.
Stewart did qualify for the Chase and it's not inconceivable that he could win another Cup title if he stops warring with his team.

There was just an article in Rolling Stone about him being a total cock...and fans totally loving and hating him because of it.
