Tony Stewart vents about NASCAR on Sirius program

Thursday, April 26, 2007 at 2:17 PM

Tony Stewart Two-time champion NASCAR champion Tony Stewart went off on NASCAR officials on his Sirius show, likening the sport to wrestling.

Stewart dominated Saturday night's race, but eventually lost to Jeff Gordon. Stewart said he was avoid ing bashing NASCAR after officials threw four cautions for debris on the track.

"It's like playing God," he said on his Sirius program, which airs from 6-8 pm ET, on NASCAR Radio (ch 128). "They can almost dictate the race instead of the drivers doing it. It's happened too many times this year.

"I guess NASCAR thinks, 'Hey, wrestling worked, and it was, for the most part staged, so I guess it's going to work in racing too.' I can't understand how long the fans are going to let NASCAR treat them like they're stupid before the fans finally turn on NASCAR.

"I don't know that they've run a fair race all year."
