Why is his nickname "Smoke"? Too bad yesterday's typical, convenient "debris caution" near the end couldn't help him out.

I think his nickname should be Napolean. For his size and his complex.

I'm really not sure where the name Smoke came from. We were at the Atlanta race a week ago and listened in to him and his crew on the scanner. His crew chief refers to him a lot as Smoke on the radio. Too bad he had problems at Bristol. I was hoping to see him climb the fence.

Smoke. He got it when he was a lot younger, before NASCAR. He got it because he was constantly smoking his tires.
