NASCAR legend Tony Stewart calls mourning fans 'a--holes' in tone-deaf rant about Kyle Busch
Fox News correspondent Madison Scarpino reports from Charlotte Motor Speedway, where NASCAR fans gathered for the first race since Kyle Busch’s death, on ‘Fox News Live.’
It's been nearly a month since Kyle Busch's tragic death shook the NASCAR world, and I thought we'd seen all the takes.
We've seen the tributes and the warnings. The flashbacks. The memories. We've heard all the Kyle Busch stories, seen all the highlights from all of his wins, and heard from wife, Samantha, and son, Brexton.
One month post-Rowdy, I thought we'd heard it all ...
Until now. Enter, Tony Stewart.

One of the greatest NASCAR drivers of all time, and Kyle's former Joe Gibbs teammate, has decided to pop in with his thoughts on the death of Kyle Busch, and they are ... puzzling.
Frankly, they're a little baffling.
I'm not sure why Tony Stewart is angry, or who, exactly, he's angry at, but he's "pissed off" at how we've handled Kyle's death, and he made sure to talk about it ahead of this weekend's NHRA race.
Strap in:
"I guess the biggest thing in this tragedy that’s happened that pisses me off the most is that now everybody wants to talk about how he was as a person," Stewart said. "Outside of that, all they wanted to do is judge what they saw on TV. It’s frustrating.
"That’s the way every one of us are judged by what they see on TV and then once you die, they want to talk about how good a person you were. That’s the part that pisses me off the most about it
