Q: If you could be a driver today, who would it be?

Smith: It would be a cross between several of them. It would have to be Jeff Gordon with Tony Stewart for their driving and also I want the look of Jimmie Johnson. And I’d want the popularity of Dale Jr.

They’re all great, some of the greatest drivers that have sat in a car. I’d be so damn awesome that I’d win every race.

Q: So you’d like to have Tony Stewart’s temperament as well?

Smith: That would be great. He has a passion for the sport. A little temper is OK. I wish NASCAR would kind of cool it a little bit. We used to have a lot of fisticuffs. Sometimes you have disagreements and you have to settle it. That’s what we built this sport on.
