Stewart's my favorite driver. That being said I have never been a fan of "slumming it" in auto racing. By this I mean racing against the general public at small tracks. Stewart and others show up at these races with unlimited budgets, advanced skill levels in driving and full-time professional mechanics.

Stewart and others race on dirt tracks as a hobby or for fun between their super-speedway NASCAR races. What could go wrong mixing the two, right? And from a competitive point of view if Stewart wins at a dirt track so what, he should have.
