Stewart and Harvick talk, then Tony gets waxed!
Quote selected text Published March 19th, 2008 in NASCAR News
Last night [Monday] on “Tony Stewart Live” on SIRIUS NASCAR Radio, Stewart and Kevin Harvick discussed their run-in in the final laps of Sunday’s Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
While running second and third, Harvick’s and Stewart’s cars came together, spinning Stewart out and knocking him back to a 14th place finish. Immediately after the accident, words were exchanged between spotters for the #20 and #29 teams.
Kevin Harvick: “I think for me the biggest thing is just Bristol brings out the best in everybody. I was mad when I got out. The spotter was mad when I got into the side of Tony and the emotions run so high. And it’s not the spotter’s fault. It’s not anybody’s fault. It’s just part of our sport. It won’t be the last time we probably run into each other but we get better at handling it amongst each other as you learn more about the situations and things like that. The spotters didn’t have anything to do with me running into the side of him.”
Tony Stewart: “That’s the thing about our sport that you don’t see in other sports. We don’t get a cool-down period. You get that pure, raw emotion and a lot of times it doesn’t give us all a chance to compare notes. Like we were talking about earlier, I had called Kevin and I didn’t even know what had happened and this was 6 o’clock at night by the time I got home. It just shows how passionate I think everybody is. The crew guys are just as passionate about what is going on as we are. In our case my spotter is also head of our chassis department so when I crash something he’s the guy that has to fix it.”
Stewart: “Obviously, I was disappointed that we were in a wreck but I know, of all people, I trust Kevin more than anybody else on that racetrack. I know that anything that happens with us, just like what happened yesterday, I knew it wasn’t intentional.”
Later in the show, Stewart made good on a longtime bet with his buddy Harvick. After some teasing about his hirsute torso, Stewart said a year ago on SIRIUS that if Harvick was able to raise $100,000 for the Victory Junction Gang Camp, he would agree to have his back waxed. Having reached the stated goal with fan donations and a matching contribution from Harvick himself, Stewart made good on his promise, undergoing the painful procedure last night live on SIRIUS as
Stewart’s co-host, Matt Yocum, and Harvick provided rip-by-rip commentary for SIRIUS listeners nationwide. Thanks to late donations by Joe Gibbs Racing President J.D. Gibbs, who pledged $15,000, and Sprint Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson, who donated $10,000, the total raised for Victory Junction Gang Camp surpassed $125,000.
Asked during the procedure if the pain was worse than hitting the wall at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Stewart laughed and said, “Yeah, it does actually. It does hurt worse than hitting the wall at Vegas. It just isn’t lasting as long.” To hear audio clips and see photos from last night’s show, visit www.sirius.com/nascar.

Every body yaps about Tony did this Tony said that but Who else puts himself out there in the open to self deprecation as tony does to raise BIG $$ for the Victory Camp ???
Kudos to Tony, Harvick, JD Gibbs and Jimmy and all the fans who made the goal happen…
Very cool. But, I gotta tell you males here… SEE what us woman go thru trying to please you men! LOL As if always shaving everywhere wasn’t enough, someone discovered waxing and then ya’ll fell in love with us doing that and now look, you got big bad Tony telling ya like it is. haha
Hell, I woulda paid that money to be there for that. LOL
I saw those pictures Sushstewart and I couldn’t agree more!REALLY nice legs!
Hey.. so where are the photo’s at?
if it wasn’t enough to hear the man yelp yelp, seeing pictures without realizing they were even going to be displayed for the world to see was just a little too much Tony for me!

A strange bird that man is. Sorry ladies, wasn’t looking at his legs but the smile on his face - “I DID IT”. No pain, no kid gain and there are ways to help a child but I will say this - original method for a fund raiser. Kevin harvick is a ham of a man - too funny. Another kind act, very thoughtful of Tony and yet if only man could give birth. That is one human bodily act that I would pay money to see. Heck, I’ll even be the coach! Am all for Self improvements - do it for YOU because YOU deserve to feel the very best you can have in life (Physically, Mentally, and Spiritually).

That was funny thats 1 reason Im a stewart fan,sure he can be a hothead at times so what at least hes not fake,hes always doing things to help kids an such most people dont look at the good side of tony.
Hmm thats weird that last post was me.
Aww they didn’t do the screaming of HIM during it. lol They did the effects from Steve’s Correl’s 40 yr old virgin waxing exp. Still funny.
I have met him before, but never new he was THAT hairy. lol
Anyone notice the beer in Harvick’s hand? LOL Guess he was getting festive for it eh.
It was St. Patricks Day of course there was beer.
I don’t care that he had a beer. It’s jsut the fact that this was a chairity deal for kids, and on a Radio show. Seems kinda odd.
I hope next week on raceday they ask him to pull up his shirt and show his back
lol
