Stewart doesn’t get in trouble this time

Tony Stewart again spoke his mind on his Tuesday night satellite radio show. Only, this time, he didn’t get in trouble for it.

A week earlier, Stewart’s remarks about NASCAR, criticizing officials for unnecessary cautions and relating the stock car sport to pro wrestling, raised a firestorm of controversy that kept Stewart in the news the rest of the week.

This time, Stewart was asked his reaction to fans throwing beer cans and other debris onto the track after Jeff Gordon won the race at Talladega.

“What I thought was awesome is there were a bunch of sheriff’s deputies and policemen that were in plain clothes, and there were also a bunch of uniformed officers there that, as soon as people started throwing things, they were arresting people,” Stewart said. “I thought it was great as far as the people getting arrested for it. I think it’s asinine for people to do that.

“If you’re one of them that threw something and got arrested, I think you got what you had coming to you.”
