Not really. You have to consider that most of the press on Knight had a very left wing bent. His "bad behavior" is highlighted up the whazoo but the good he did is swept under the rug.

The selling of Indulgences seems to be alive and well in Indiana...

The same media and academic hacks who campaigned incessantly against Knight went after Tony Stewart, but without success. Though good for Indiana, these admired and successful men are not without faults, the greatest of which is an inability to tolerate fools. Liberals in Indiana already have a persecution complex, they find themselves trapped in a decidedly "Red" state, and lash out at passionate, politically incorrect males who look down on them as leeches of society who can't make an honest living.
