And He could do a Ride-a-long:

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Tony Stewart has a new pet. And for a guy who used to own a monkey, this one could be considered just as strange.

It’s a pig.

Yes, a pig. As in oink, oink. Not a huge pig, but still a pig.

The pig’s name?

“Porkchop — that’s his first and final warning,” Stewart told fans during a question-and-answer session Thursday night at Daytona International Speedway.

Porkchop, which Stewart got just prior to the season finale last year at Homestead, is three pounds and is expected to grow to 20-25 pounds.

“Believe it or not, it’s the easiest pet I’ve ever had in my life because they’re smarter than dogs and cleaner than dogs,” Stewart said. “They’re very smart. … The only thing I can’t get him to do is sleep until noon like I do.”

Having a pig has produced some awkward moments. Like when Stewart is enjoying pork products.

“The day after Thanksgiving, I had pork ribs for dinner and he’s sitting there with his nose in the air, and I’m sitting there trying to figure out if he’s thinking, ‘Man, that smells familiar’ or ‘It smells good,’” Stewart quipped.
