Reports of Kevin Harvick's NASCAR Sprint Cup championship's effect on Stewart-Haas owner Tony Stewart are misguided, Stewart says.
The Charlotte Observer recorded a question-and-answer session with Stewart on Thursday about his emotions on Harvick's win.
The Observer itself says that "Harvick's championship brought an uplifting end to a tumultuous season for Stewart, who missed three races after his involvement in a tragic racing accident in a dirt car race that killed another driver and failed to win at least one race in a season for the first time in his Cup career."

Stewart, who broke his leg in August of 2013, won a sprint car race in July, only to be involved in the horrific accident that cost Kevin Ward Jr. his life on August 9 in upstate New York.
While asking Stewart about his thoughts on the win as a team owner, the Observer gravitated to Stewart's tumultuous 2014 and the effect Harvick's title on his own emotional state.
"It has been a tough year for you. Can you describe the emotions you're going through right now?" the Observer asked.
"You know, I think more than anything, I'm happy for this organization and happy for this team," Stewart said. "It's not about me right now, it's about us as a group. It's about everybody at Stewart-Haas Racing. You know, you learn when you're in these situations that it's about a larger group of people and a bigger picture that's in play. I'm grateful that I have a co-owner and co-workers and teammates that are such great people that no matter what's been thrown at us the last year and a half that this organization was able to thrive and continue to prosper and be successful through this.
"It shows the depth of this organization and what these people are capable of. Nights like tonight are when you sit back and you reflect on everything and you realize how proud you are of your entire group and everybody that you surround yourself with."
Whether Stewart will answer that question when 2015 rolls around remains to be seen.
