Don't have to like him, I guess. Doubt he'll ever be voted most popular driver or anything either, but then it's racing not a popularity contest.....

Actually when he walked off after the Nationwide race instead of running his mouth to the flippin' media I thought it showed a bit of maturity on his part. Certainly a better course of action then his tirade about the COT after his first Bristol win..... I guess in his case just walking away was the best choice.....

As for temper tantrums, heck, maybe he'll get to be as good at them as AJ Foyt was in his prime!!!!!

Anyway, guess there's no place for maturity or attitude in the win column......

Thought Stewart and Newman put in a good showing for the new Stewart-Haas team, too.... Could be an interesting season.... Sponsorship is tougher to get, and the money is going to go to the winners, for sure.....
