Stewart Claims Racin' is Like Rastlin'

 During his weekly radio show on Tuesday, driver Tony Stewart compared NASCAR to
professional wrestling.  NASCAR may not have feather boas, but Stewart says they're
fixing races, just like pro wrestling.   He claims NASCAR is throwing bogus caution flags
for alleged debris on the track.  During last Saturday's race at Phoenix, there
were four caution flags for debris.
  Does Stewart really believe NASCAR is fixing races, or is this just another case of
sour grapes from Stewart.   He hasn't made it to victory lane
this season.  In 2006 at Daytona, Stewart lashed out about bump-drafting.
NASCAR took Stewart's complaint under consideration, but then Stewart
was cited for rough driving during the Daytona 500 after bumping Matt Kenseth.
  Will NASCAR take Stewart's latest complaint under consideration, or will
Stewart face a steep penalty?
