Highlights
In a sport that has become more corporate than cornpone, Tony Stewart remains a rebel, making him one of the most loved (and hated) drivers in all of auto racing.

Regardless, he's shown the ability to channel that anger into a successful Nextel Cup career that includes 32 wins and two season championships (2002 and 2005). The Columbus, Ind., native is considered the racer's racer, and has driven everything from Indy Cars to sprint cars. The 36-year-old owns a championship World of Outlaws sprint-car team and frequently participates in dirt-track races across the Midwest. Moreover, NASCAR's bad boy has also been one of the sport's most charitable, serving as a major fund-raiser for Kyle and Pattie Petty's Victory Junction Gang camp and other organizations. In 2008, he'll drive the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing.
