But what came after was pretty catty -- and amusing. Earnhardt took a shot at Stenhouse's height.
Maybe that damn hood is so high he can't see over it," Earnhardt said. "I'm serious. I wasn't making a joke," he said, after he got the 10-4 reply from crew chief Greg Ives.
Now, Stenhouse, listed at 5'9, isn't that short, and not that much short than the 6-foot Earnhardt.
