Found this tidbit on the web

There are a lot of fat jokes about Tony Stewart going on, all of them in the Power Rankings as you may have saw. What is with that? I mean when did NASCAR become a sport were you have to weigh a certain amount to be excepted? Do people honestly think Tony Stewart races because he wants to lose weight? No. There are some people who laugh about the fat jokes but honestly, I'd like to see someone skinnier be as great of a driver as Tony Stewart.
