Smoke fans -- of which I am one -- have a bit of a treat coming up later today. But this post is going to test the fandom of even the most devoted Tony Stewart supporter.

Two words: back waxing.

I'm a couple days late on this one, but it took me this long to get out of the fetal position. Seems Tony Stewart offered to get his back waxed if folks donated more than $100,000 to charity. Lo and behold, according to Sirius:

Operation Wax Smoke was a huge success, raising over $125,000 for the Victory Junction Gang Camp. DeLana & Kevin Harvick, and national motorsports correspondent Ford Martin joined Tony and Matt Yocum at an "undisclosed location" for a rip-roaring good time. There was no shortage of donations to hear Tony suffer throught the pain and indignity of having his famously-furry back waxed live on the air. It remains to be seen if the procedure will improve race times for the sleeker and more-aero Smoke.

Let me just say, on behalf of NASCAR nation: gggnnnnaaaaggghhh!

Click here for audio clips and photos from Operation Wax Smoke, if you dare. It looks like the waxers are holding black shag carpeting. Gah.

Congrats for Tony. I cant imagine having that done to myself. Crazy painful. I love the comments from JD Gibbs.

I imagine a hairy back would itch a lot in a hot race car. That's not a problem any more :)

I'm shocked that Goodyear didn't offer up $200k for the opportunity to stick it to Tony. Pun intended.

He might have made more for charity, if he had his head and beard waxed!

I heard the thing live. Funniest "stuff" I've heard in a long time. Smoke had the benefit of a few Schlitz. At one point he was on his knees and elbows in pain and said " You could kick me in the b..ls right now and I wouldn't feel it." 5 seconds later you hear ...rrriiip. Then " Go ahead and kick me in the b..ls". They tortured him for a long time. DeLana was trying to get JD Gibbs to throw 15K in to add a bikini wax. At which point Tony said " Oh h..l no". Best Tony Stewart show I've ever heard.

goodyear, nascar??? - what's the difference? simply a "good old boy" partnership. Stick it to the fans first, then the drivers - its ALL about the money nascar can make - five years ago, nascar spent an hour on their "nascar today" show trying to distance themselves from the WWF, now WWE - couldn't then, can't now - at least the WWE admits their system is "rigged" - I applaud Stewart, a "lite" version of Earnhardt, Sr. and I mean that as a compliment to both.

Tony has always had a heart, it's just that his mouth gets in his way. Way to go Smoke - don't change a thing.

david c - i applaud tony for doing this but you barked up the wrong tree dissing gordon - he has raised literally millions for the children's hospital in indy.

I'm a big Smoke fan. Tony has a way of pissing people off with his mouth he is alot like Dale Sr. in the way he drives and how he carries himself. I'm going to go a bit off the subject but the people who have been watching racing for 20 years plus like myself I look forward to reading your views. Nascar just isn't the same anymore it is becoming like every other sport (IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY) I remember 20 years ago when you could watch a race with very little commericals and drivers raced for the love of the sport there was a sponcer (Winston) and now the sport can't keep a sponcer. Whats happing to the sport that I once loved to watch?

I bet they could raise double the amount if he would not whine about something for a week.

Way to go Smoke! You are my favorite NASCAR driver and as always you are so generous with your time and do whatever you can for the kids! God bless you, Tony! Will see you at the finish line getting the checked flag in NH, again, soon!

Tony has made some comments that many of us seem to chastise because he has the balls to say them - Tony says what others are afraid to say - he has one of the biggest hearts in the sport any only when he does something crazy like this do haters have to continue to find things inappropriate or wrong with Tony. What would you do in his palce? How many of you would say you'd be any different? If any one of you said you would be better in any and all respects then I would have to call your bluff and say show me - Tony has shown his heart, his money and his pride in the sport through many, MANY charities, one can never, NEVER say different.
