Thursday night Tony Stewart was involved in an altercation with a track offical at the USAC race in Indianapolis after an on-track incident involving his car was mishandled by USAC officals. According to sources, Tony came into pit lane and began to speak with an offical. Tony then slapped the offical's headset off and shoved the offical.

Seeing as how Tony is a USAC owner and just became a Nascar owner it seems to me that it does relate - would he do this in the Cup Series if a call goes against one of his teams?

There absolutely can't be any contact between a competitor/owner/team member and an official, no matter how bad the call was or much emotion is involved. It's very true that in another sport Tony would be looking at a suspension - even if he was provoked.
