Ryan Newman had harsh words for Tony Stewart after being wrecked by “Smoke” during Saturday’s Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond.
Stewart may have been upset about Newman rubbing up on him and decided to take Newman out on lap 363, close to the end of the race.
In an interview after the race, Newman, whose chances of making the chase were spoiled, went off on Stewart, calling him “bipolar” and saying Stewart has “anger issues.” Newman also said Stewart should be retired.

No doubt Newman has some bitterness towards Stewart, who was his boss when he raced for Stewart-Haas Racing before being fired and replaced by Kevin Harvick.
