Tony Stewart smokes Aric Almirola with bump, then complains

Tony Stewart and Aric Almirola were battling hard for position in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Dover International Speedway. It worked out better for Stewart than Almirola.

As the drivers jockeyed for position mid-pack, Stewart slid up into Almirola, his car's right front making contact with Almirola's left rear. Stewart's car appeared unscathed. Almirola was forced to pit under green because of a tire rub.

Stewart was the one angered by the incident — one in which he appeared to be at fault.

After the incident, and an ensuing pit stop under caution, Stewart restarted 19th.
