No I've never driven a sprint car, but do you really need to throttle slide the car to get it around a corner at low speed under caution? High speed, sure, but low speed with another driver on foot right next to you? I wouldn't have thought so.
I have posted this elsewhere, too. I still cannot believe how people take it as a fact that Stewart even accelerated. There is no (as in zero) factual evidence of him blipping the throttle in that video.
