Re: Question
>From wikipedia, in Smoke's own words:
Tony Stewart told NASCAR,com of his nickname: "I wasn't very good about not
slipping the right-rear tire, initially. So it started as 'Smoker,' then it
got shortened to 'Smoke.' Then when I got in the Indy Racing League it was
'Smoke' because one of the guys on the crew who was my roommate, and knew
the nickname, carried it over to the IndyCar team. But then when I started
blowing engines, 'Smoke' really stuck. I've had it ever since."
