Tony takes some time to answer listener email questions every week on Tony Stewart Live.

Dane in Alabama wants to know what Tony thinks about Leonard Wood's praise?

Tony: That's pretty cool. I once saw Leonard near my car looking for me before a race and I came up behind him and scared him half to death. I hope someone got a shot of it because he screamed like a girl. He's a great guy.

Pete in Atlanta wants Tony’s response to Michael Waltrip’s negative comments about Smoke’s contract talks.

Tony: I don't know that Michael knows all the details. Joe and J.D. Gibbs knew what was going on before we held a press conference. We did the responsible thing by coming forward. This was a pretty big secret for a long time.

Got a question? Send it to Tony and he and Matt might answer it live!
