To me this sums it up:

And he's one of this country's top drivers and easily one of the world's best drivers too. And his "throw-back" demeanor is welcome in the NASCAR galaxy of perfectly choreographed, sponsor-friendly robots who drive against him. But this move by Stewart was so far over the line that it was and is simply inexcusable. At the end of the day, when Stewart loses his cool, bad things happen. He may play the role of mature driver on occasion when it suits his interests, but it's apparent that he just can't help himself because eventually the real Tony Stewart just has to come out."

As for Jeff being a good role model.... I am 
because he is not necessarily what you see on tv. A few years back he tried to pick up my daughter-in-law and she had no idea who he was - she blew him off and he got bent out of shape. The rich and famous don't always get their way.

As I have never been to Mid-Ohio but love that track I can think of no better teacher there than Bobby "who"?

He reminds me of my childhood neighbor, I used to love playing games with him just so I could see him get so upset when he would loose.
I am shocked at the minor penalty given him "to the back of the pack" for running Kennseth off the track.
Wasn't it like three times he got put back there and came back to the front pack ?
He sure can drive, but what a bully.
