Tony Stewart finished second in Sunday's Chevy Rock & Roll 400 at Richmond International Raceway, and if you believe what he says, he did it all on his own.

Yep, Tony Stewart -- by himself -- managed to get the No. 20 Home Depot car from the Joe Gibbs Racing shop in North Carolina all the way to Richmond, where he countered not only stiff competition on-track, but a Tropical Storm that blew through the area.

Sounds a little too good to be true, doesn't it?

As race fans found out thanks to ESPN picking up on Stewart's post-race in-car radio tantrum, Stewart apparently had convinced himself that he had been the sole provider for the team-'s Top-5 finish. Crew chief Greg Zipadelli, who likely is going to be quite relieved to deal with young gun Joey Logano in 2009, ripped Stewart back, as well.

The Fanhouse receives some interesting tips now and then and on Easter morning something came in attempting to inspire a post about strip clubs. Nothing NASCAR-related and post-worthy immediately came to mind or seemed appropriate on such a holy day.

A few Peeps later, there's news of a former stripper with NASCAR connections being captured by U.S. Marshals. Now that's enough to inspire a post on a slow NASCAR news weekend.

Who needs feature film entertainment like "The Fugitive" and "U.S. Marshals" when you can just tune in to NASCAR headlines?

Iranian-born Fatemah Karimkhani was taken into custody Sunday after after eluding authorities for three years.

Name isn't familiar? NASCAR fans might remember her alias, Angela Harkness, the "femme fatale who hoodwinked stock-car racing, then skipped town, leaving behind a dead husband and an embezzling lover."
