Tony Stewart put in more than two weeks of work at Daytona only to walk away without a victory again, but that frustration seemed to melt away when Stewart got back to his home to see his pet pig.

Stewart's porcine pal is named Pork Chop, and if the driver's Twitter page is any indication, the two spend a lot of time on the couch together.

Stewart is 0-for-17 at the "Great American Race" after his car sustained damage to the right front tire during a wreck on lap 41. Joey Logano won this year's Daytona 500.
