SONOMA, Calif. — Tony Stewart has a new hero, and his name is John Wes Townley.
Stewart was thrilled to see the fight during Saturday’s NASCAR Truck Series race between Townley and Spencer Gallagher. The two drivers fought — actually wrestled, in a pretty pitiful display — after a wreck during the race at Gateway Motorsports Park.
Stewart, who has been in his share of skirmishes and emotional outbursts throughout his career, loved watching Townley wrestle Gallagher to the ground.
“I'm going to go to Zaxby's (Townley’s sponsor and family owned business) and eat chicken all week just in support of John Wes,” Stewart said.
