Tony Stewart's Pocono Ride: Shall We Swag Now Or Should We Swag Later?

Tony Stewartโ€™s No. 14 Chevrolet paint scheme seems to be all the rage in Pocono. The team rolled out a sexy beast of a machine for this weekendโ€™s Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500.

The car, wrapped in deep ruby red and shimmering silver, highlights Old Spiceโ€™s โ€œSwaggerโ€ brand.

Let me tell you, Iโ€™m not a โ€œcar guyโ€ as far as looks go, but this thing is smokinโ€™ hot! Dripping with sticky-sweet, cherry coated lusciousness, it proves that this is not your fatherโ€™s Old Spice!

It begs the question, โ€œshall we swag now or should we swag later?โ€

Oh Behave!

Although the paint scheme is new, the car is the same one that he took to Victory Lane at Pocono back in June, giving Stewart full, unrestricted license to swag.

After running sixth fastest in a rain shortened practice, Stewart paid homage to the ride that scored him his first points race win at the tricky triangle, saying โ€œIโ€™m happy with our Old Spice Swagger car. Itโ€™s got some attitude this weekend. Made me smile when I got in it, made me smile even more when I got out and looked at it, itโ€™s pretty fast.โ€

Stewart was not the only one to be impressed with the car, during an interview, Speed TV's Bob Dillner seemed positively swaggerized.

โ€œCool paint scheme, this looks good, as good as you all shaven. โ€œ[You] look about maybe 10 years younger, actually you look real good! I mean thereโ€™s not much gray, youโ€™re clean shaven, you got a fast race car?โ€

Pulling Stewart's teammate Ryan Newman into the conversation he asked, "What do you think about him? He looks pretty sharp there all clean shaven!โ€

Taken aback, Stewart replied, โ€œWhy are guys talking about how guys look?โ€

Dillner quickly shot back, โ€œI said you looked younger, not good!โ€

(I beg to differ Dillner, check the tape!)

Humerously uneasy about the direction the interview had taken, Stewart remarked, โ€œWhen you start asking him (Newman) about it, it makes me nervous.โ€

"[There are] a lot of suspicious questions when men start talking aboutโ€ฆmen. Besides, this guy, [Ryan] is younger than me & better looking than meโ€

Wanting no part of the swag-fest, Newman replied, โ€œIโ€™ve seen his baby pictures, age doesnโ€™t really matter!โ€

As a favorite headed into the race weekend and sitting on the pole, thanks in part to a rained out qualifying effort, will Stewart sweep the competition and swagger into Pocono's Victory Lane for the second time this season?

The car, decked out with a set of fuzzy dice hanging from the rear-view, has such a fabulous body, Iโ€™m betting that it swags like a minx!

If it does once again take the checkered flag, Stewart might just find himself in yet another role, that of serial swagger!

So hereโ€™s to the No. 14 Chevrolet, swag it rotten baby, and โ€œThanks Old Spice!โ€

Umm, Helloโ€ฆpaging Dr. Freud!
