Tony Stewart cusses out NASCAR officials after getting black flagged

Tony Stewart

It only took one day into the 2015 season for NASCAR to start handing out punishments. During the first NASCAR practice of the year, race officials black flagged Tony Stewart for failing to weigh in Friday at Daytona International Speedway.

While Stewart was on the track, NASCAR ordered Stewart, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch to return to the garage to be weighed, a preseason mandate. Hamlin and Busch obeyed.

Stewart stayed on the track, ignoring the instruction.

When "Smoke" returned to the garage, he and crew chief Chad Johnston were called to the NASCAR hauler for a meeting regarding the incident.
Upset over the incident, Stewart would not elaborate on what took place.

"Go f—ing ask (NASCAR)," Stewart told SB Nation. "Go ask those f—ing rocket scientists why they f—ing black flagged us."
Stewart later took to Twitter to express his emotions.

Still upset, he then re-tweeted a NASCAR sarcasm social post.

Stewart and his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet will start from the 22nd position in Saturday night's 25-driver Sprint Unlimited race at Daytona.
