Tony Stewart: print media hero

Someone, presumably a member of the broadcast media, asked Tony Stewart what is so special about Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Stewart, who once raced in the Indy Racing League, was one of the few drivers to attempt to race the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, shot back, quite offended with the question.
"You're kidding, right? You don't know the answer to that already? You really don't know the answer to that?" said Stewart, driver of the No. 20 Chevrolet for Joe Gibbs Racing. "Do you want me to find somebody to tell you that real quick so we can go on with the stuff that people don't know the answer to yet? If they don't know that by now, they won't figure that out. That's been asked for nine straight years. And it hasn't changed. So if your viewers have watched for the last eight years, they'll know exactly what it means."
Stewart is coming off his first win of the year. He won the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway two weeks ago. It has made him more relaxed coming into Indy with a win in his last race.
"Definitely last year, the stress level wasn't as near as high," Stewart said. "It wasn't trying so hard to win. Now we've won. It's not that you don't try to win, it's that you've got that bit of pressure off your back to win the first one and you have the knowledge of how you won the first one. So it's actually a lot less pressure because you're not sitting here trying to figure out what you have to do to win. You know what it takes to win. You just have to figure out how to make those things happen again."
