That's never going to get old, is it?

 

[Joniki]

I wonder how he will do with limited range of motion and the hardware in his back.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Safe to say his car will have 20 lug nuts on it at all times this wknd?

I hope he freakin' wins

I'm sure that there are many that cringe each and every time I post it. I still laugh but then again, I'm easily amused.

I'm going to guess that he will have a lot more problems getting in/out of the car than he will sitting and turning a steering wheel.

The down force is what I'm worried about.

Scenario..... Sunday afternoon. Caution comes out on lap #392 after a long green flag run with Tony running in 3rd. Pits open. Everyone on the lead lap dives onto pit road for those right side tires. Take five lug nuts and come out 3rd. Take 3 lugs and come out 1st for the final restart. What does Tony's team do?

I'll go 3.

 

[Blaze]

Give that man a wavier!

 

[NasNYG567]

Awesome to see him back this early. Should also mention that next week at Talladega he'll just start the race then Ty will replace him.

He's thinking about it.....

After trying out Brian Vickers and Ty Dillon, Tony Stewart will be subbing for Tony Stewart this weekend at Richmond.

Brian grabs out the all knowing answer machine and asks..... Grant waiver?

minus the Armstrong.....

Okay, maybe too cryptic. It's a stretch none the less.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Countdown to NASCAR's official statement on Tony.....

Tony has way more jelly in him than that Stretch Armstrong does.

Dale Jr. when asked as to if Tony Stewart will get a Waiver.....

Dale Earnhardt Jr. @DaleJr
He will. The precedent has been set. Should get rid of the rule. All you should need is a win and top 30 in points.

 

[BobbyFord]

The waiver won't mean anything. Tony wasn't competitive before the back injury. I expect he's got a lot of rust on top of that.

 

[*WEAVER*]

Tony already told his pit crew, put 2 lug nuts on it and lets win this damn thing.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Tony's gonna get the waiver. That's gotta be a done deal with the history that we've seen from NASCAR. Say he does. Tony starts that Talladega race only to yield the car over to Ty Dillon. Talladega, a race that anyone can win..... right? Ty does it. He wins the race grabbing a spot in the Chase field for Tony.

Thoughts?

It may be time for NASCAR to get that Rule Book pencil out again.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

@bobpockrass
NASCAR has approved a waiver for Tony Stewart to be eligible for the Chase despite not competing in every race....

 

[dpkimmel2001]

 

[Zerkfitting]

My bold prediction (Tony wins a race) is back on. (I doubt he'll come back like Kyle did). Go Tony!

 

[Rick]

He's thinking about it.....

"Hmm what should I put on my next cheeseburger. Definately cheese!" "Now they want me to make make an anouncement for Tony. Have Steve do it don't make me do stuff." "I'm a genious."

 

[Charlie Spencer]

That took a long time to announce. Brian must have dropped the quarter the first couple of times he flipped it.

A Two headed quarter at that.

Matt DiBenedetto is currently 30th in points with 112. That'd be a lot of ground for Tony to make up in 18 races.
