Sprint Cup Series driver Tony Stewart (14) is hit by driver Robert Richardson Jr. (23) during a multi-car wreck near the end of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Ala., Sunday, May 6, 2012. By Stewart's standards, his tongue-in-cheek assessment of NASCAR's latest wreckfest at Talladega was tame stuff. But his four-minute Q&A following Sunday's race was vintage Smoke, and boy did he deliver. The three-time NASCAR champion deadpanned his way through a flurry of questions about his afternoon, which essentially ended when he was caught in a nine-car accident four laps from the finish. Before the accident, Stewart said he had twice run out of gas and spent the entire race keeping one eye on his gauges to make sure his engine didn't overheat because of NASCAR's rules at restrictor-plate tracks.
