• Stewart cools off after Bristol incident: Tony Stewart joked Tuesday that his two-handed toss of his helmet at Matt Kenseth was “not bad for a 41-year-old who doesn’t work out." Aside from that, Stewart said he’s not expecting any drama between the two drivers despite promising to run over Kenseth every chance he gets this season. “You get over that stuff. It’s been part of racing for as long as I can remember and that won’t be the last time you see two drivers have a disagreement," Stewart said, adding he’ll only run over Kenseth “if I need to. It’s not our intention to go seek him out. We’ve gotten along more races than we’ve disagreed." The three-time NASCAR champion lost his infamous temper Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway after contact with Kenseth caused him to wreck as they were racing for the lead. Before making his mandatory trip to the care center, Stewart waited on the track for Kenseth to pass by on pit road, and he heaved his helmet directly at the front grill of Kenseth’s car.
