Stewart's Temper Flares In USAC?

The Pensacola News Journal is making note that Tony Stewart had another emotional spat moment the other day but we missed it because we were all busy looking at diamond cut track surfaces cutting up tires.

They're saying that while Stewart was representing himself as a USAC Midget car owner, got into it with officials where he slapped the headset off one official and shoved another.  It's reported that both of these magic quality moments was caught on video tape.

When he was quizzed by a reporter about last Friday, Stewart referenced it as a "disagreement."

Is Tony already letting the stress of his new upcoming Cup scenario get under his skin to the point where he's reverting to his natural, snappy state of being.  The Tony we all first were introduced to in his early years in Cup under Joe Gibbs Racing?  It is the persona many have grown to enjoy and maybe it's not a bad thing, but hopefully shoving officials was just a simple misunderstanding because frankly, it does not make sense to me that he would do something like that this late in his career.
