Ryan Newman does a burnout to celebrate his Subway Fresh Fit 600 victory at Phoenix International Raceway.( Credit: Tom Pennington/Getty Images for NASCAR)Good for you, Ryan Newman. It was awesome to see him in victory lane after such a long drought. I loved his post-race interview and the one comment that stuck out the most for me was when he said that, when Tony Stewart came to congratulate him, he told Tony he loved him and that Tony said he loved him too. Isn’t that sweet? Men who are friends, openly declaring their love for each other without being all weird about it. Isn’t that cool? That was fun.

Here’s the video of it, in case you missed it:

Photo fun time!
