If only Don Imus had thought of this. Tony Stewart says he was fighting a fever on Tuesday night on his weekly radio show when he accused NASCAR of rigging their races like professional wrestling, which is a big insult to either NASCAR or professional wrestling, we're not sure which.

"I guess NASCAR thinks 'Hey, wrestling worked, and it was for the most part staged, so I guess it's going to work in racing, too,"' Stewart said on his show on Sirius rado. "I can't understand how long the fans are going to let NASCAR treat them like they're stupid before the fans finally turn on NASCAR. I don't know that they've run a fair race all year."

NASCAR officials said that there were an abundance of caution flags during Sunday's Subway Fresh Fit 500 at the Phoenix International Raceway due to "debris on the track." All the flags caused a number of lead changes, with Jeff Gordon edging Stewart for first place. NASCAR will not fine Stewart for his comments; you get to talk smack about officials in racing! However you cannot do this.

Oh, and if you don't like this post ... we have a fever! Forgive us!
