When digesting the many thoughts of Tony Stewart<\/a>, it\u2019s worth remembering that the three-time Cup Series champion once went so far as to wonder whether races were rigged like professional wrestling matches<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then again, he made that claim in 2007. It\u2019s hard to think of much he\u2019s said since that anyone in a position to know has credibly called BS on. So, our ears perked up when he made the connection between $1 million in NASCAR<\/a> fines this season and the explosion in legal sports wagering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cup teams have made a \u2018fine mess\u2019 out of the 2023 season<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
