AFP racing news contributor Rod Mullins found himself in the middle of an odd story involving NHRA (and former NASCAR) star Tony Stewart.
Seems that a rumor got going that a fellow reporter had slapped Stewart during a heated exchange, which turned out not to be heated at all, and no, there was no slap.
Rod takes us into that story, reports on the NHRA weekend down in Bristol, and gets us ready for the NASCAR Cup Series visit to Mexico City on the podcast.
