Stewart Says Goodbye to Back Hair

Although it would have been much more fitting for Tony Stewart to wax the guy's back who wrecked him during last Sunday's Food City 500, that didn't matter.

Stewart, in a stunt for charity on his radio show, got his back hair waxed to the smoothness of a baby's bottom thanks to over $100,000 in donations that will go directly to the Victory Junction Gang.

"Operation: Wax Smoke" was started last season over a bet between friends Stewart and Kevin Harvick. Stewart put up his back hair in return for fans raising $100,000 for the NASCAR-themed camp for disabled children. The fans put up quite a bit of the cash and "Happy" Harvick matched their donation with one of his own to secure the rights to Stewart's back mane.

Harvick and regular show co-host Matt Yocum provided the play-by-play.
"It looks like you waxed someone's dog," said Matt Yocum.
Stewart was in a little bit of pain from the process, which you can see a few pics of here.
"I'm telling you, I'd rather you kick me in the balls right now," said Stewart during the show.
Jimmie Johnson gave another $10,000 and J.D. Gibbs $15,000 during the show to bring the total to $125,000.
