Tony Stewart's 2015 season got off to a rather ignominious beginning on Friday after NASCAR black-flagged the three-time Cup champion for failing to step on the scales ahead of Saturday's Sprint Unlimited.

According to ESPN.com, Stewart was required to be weighed so NASCAR officials would be able to determine whether the weight of his car met the standard measurements. After failing to do so, he went ahead and began his practice session anyway.
