Stewart in trouble? UPDATE unlikely:

  • Tony Stewart may be in trouble with NASCAR for an incident in Saturday’s Busch race: Stewart’s car was sponsored by rocker Kid Rock, who bills himself as “American Bad Ass,” from the title of his first hit single. Stewart’s car had Kid Rock painted on the quarterpanel and “American Bad Ass” on the hood, but NASCAR officials made Stewart tape over the offending song title. However during the first pit stop Stewart ordered his crew to pull off the tape, which the crew did.(Winston Salem Journal)
    UPDATE: been told by folks with the team that Stewart’s car started the race without the tape covering any part of the song title and that Stewart made no such orders.(6-1-2004)
