After Tony Stewart publicly blamed John Andretti for causing two on-track incidents during practice at Daytona last week, he sought out Andretti for some one-on-one conversation at Rockingham.
The two sat on the pit wall and talked for several minutes, but Andretti said afterward that he's still upset with the way Stewart acted at Daytona.
"He came up and talked to me," Andretti said. "He was talking about what made him mad, and I disagreed with him."
Andretti said he was mostly mad that Stewart made derogatory comments in public before having a private discussion. And he thinks any apology should have been as public as the criticism.
"I'm still really disappointed in how he handled it," he said. "Everybody can say, 'Well that's Tony,' but when I have a family and kids that are old enough to understand, it's not good enough to come up and talk to me on pit wall."

Only problem is he's also one heck of a driver.........makes it hard completely turn on him. I know what you are saying about Tony's hammering John every time a mic was placed in front of him. It was getting old.........and it's getting older still. Time for Stewart to grab the next mic he sees and offer up a warm, from the heart apology to John.
