Tony Stewart's hair will be much shorter this weekend at Martinsville Speedway.

Fans have likely noticed the length of Tony Stewart’s hair this year, but this weekend at Martinsville Speedway, Stewart’s locks will be much shorter.
 
Yes, Stewart got his hair cut recently.
 
“To be honest, I just woke up one morning and told one of my roommates, ‘Today’s the day. I’m going to get it cut,’” Stewart said. “There was no rhyme or reason for it. I just woke up that morning and decided to get my hair cut, and that was that.
 
“I kind of laughed about it myself because there wasn’t anything that happened that made me do it. I just went ahead and did it. People who know me say I look 10 years younger now.”
 
It might seem a little silly that Stewart’s hair is a topic of discussion, but that’s a testament to how big NASCAR has gotten.
 
“Yeah, it’s kind of unbelievable,” Stewart said, “and it does say that the sport is popular because I never thought the length of my hair would ever gain so much attention.”
 
The hair on his head is not the only hair that was changed recently. Stewart’s back was waxed last week as part of “Operation Wax Smoke” that raised $125,000 for the Victory Junction Gang Camp.
 
But it seems Stewart’s back won’t stay smooth very long.
 
“It’s already growing back,” Stewart said. “It’s like a Chia Pet.”

    Tony Stewart! How can you not like this guy?! He does speak his mind, but so what? He also has a great sense of humor... Chia pet? That was hilarious! How many of the of "idiots" that always find something to complain about are able to make fun of themselves? What's the big deal about his hair? That's his business. He does have a lady friend and that too is his business, nobody else’s. Who knows why he said roommates. Maybe it was just to give the "crazies" something to talk about.
    To Jeff Boyer: What have you done lately for the Victory Junction Gang?

    For all of you who are making comments about Tony's "roommates," apparently you have not been watching any races. Last year a pretty blond girl named Tara (don't remember her last name) from the home office of Home Depot was Tony's squeeze. She was photographed with him in Victory Circle and on pit road during prerace ceremonies many times. I have also seen her in prerace ceremonies this year too. Furthermore, Tony said he was dating Tara.

    What a card, Tony is so funny. I hope he didn't cut his hair too short. He did need to get is trimmed and shaped but I for one liked the longer locks.

    To Jeff Boyer - the only one whinning is you.
