NASCAR legend Tony Stewart — tired of the bantering from a heckler — went into the grandstands Friday night at a racetrack to confront the guy — who turned out to be an off duty cop.
The altercation occurred at the Chili Bowl, an indoor midget car racing event in the Tulsa (Okla.) Expo Center — while helping with track preparation.
According reports the man gave Stewart the finger — and can be heard yelling “I don’t like you!” at Stewart.

A three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, Stewart plans to retire after next season — and has not competed in a dirt track event since August 2014 when he struck and killed a driver.
