Joey vs Tony 'hair puller' Stewart.

I wonder if Denny is lying in his hospital bed and somehow realizes that he may have bought this all upon himself by his arrogance and harsh words to the media about Joeys driving abilities?....all that after Denny wrecking him at Bristol

Considering Hamlin is out of the hospital, I'm gonna say no. :D
 
Can someone please post a link to some of the Twitter posts or articles about other drivers supporting Stewart over Logano? I'd like to read what they had to say.

Thanks for that but I think someone already posted that comment. It's just when I read some of the posts on here it makes it sound like there's some kind of mass support of the drivers lining up behind Tony. I'm just not seeing it or reading it anywhere. There's probably not a driver out there, including Stewart, that wouldn't have done the same thing in that same situation. This is fun stuff to talk about but it's the kind of stuff that happens almost every week out there only this time it became a YouTube highlight that's a memorable moment. Heck, if it weren't for Stewart going after Logano on pit road, it would have never been mentioned. Just another in a long line of driver spats. We've heard the same rhetoric from Stewart before only to see him perform the same move.

Race Hub showed a few last night but they were carefully worded, IMO, and kind of joking about what Stewart said moreso than supporting his actions.

Yea, I know his comments were mentioned, but his is the only one I've seen that say anything about agreeing or disagreeing with Stewart. I follow all the drivers as well.

I think I follow all the drivers that use Twitter. I could have certainly missed comments made on Stewart's behalf but any one of those guys doing so would be talking out both sides of their mouth as they'd pretty much all do the same thing as Logano.

Stop acting like he deliberately put Hamlin in the wall to prove a point. Joey had no car control and drove up the track.

I think you saw that wrong, Joey was going to do whatever it took to not let Hamlin beat him, and rightly so...Hamlin's big mouth cost him big time, I would bet right now Denny wishes he had kept his mouth shut...Joey handled his business 100%

Stewart tends to retract his comments or at the very least back off of them quickly. Last year after Bristol, he said something to the effect that "I'm going to run over him every chance I've got from now until the end of the year. Every chance I've got." And somehow they managed to carry on.

hell everybody knew it, they both pulled every trick in the book to slow each other up, side drafting, quarter panel drafting, bumping..it was great

Agreed, that was the most exciting race in years, it had everything a race fan loves, too bad Denny got hurt because Martinsville would be the perfect place for Denny and Joey to continue their battle

Tony made it very personal, and that was wrong. Tony does indeed back off when the media or PO go against him, so it will be interesting to see how that works out. When I see Tony's reaction to Joey's restart block, I'm thinking about 20 guys should have run Tony over as he headed to his car in the Talladega parking lot.

I think the one thing the media has missed about that last corner is how much Denny was holding Joey down the track. Denny knew Joey had the drive off the corner to beat him, so he did what he had to do. Then Joey did what he had to do.

IMO, if Joey doesn't have that attitude anytime he's racing for the win, no matter whom it's against, he should park it. I don't think he would have raced any less agressive than he did with Denny if it was against Junior, Kenseth, Bowyer, or anyone else. I don't think the fact that it was Denny made much difference. It would have resulted the same with anyone in the 11's position.
 
I think Tony needs to go and beat the asses of his crew chief and engineers. THEY SUCK this spring. They know it, Stewart knows it, and he's showing how he handles it.

OR....... He had the chance to handle Joey when he was hat his rear end and he didn't, or he didn't have the car to do it.

Soooooooooooooooooooo...... He scapegoats. Tony is a good scapegoater.

Oh. and he finished 22nd. His car was ****. TONY the WHINER Stewart is at it again.

Anybody remember Watkins Glen and the tony vs vickers blocking incident. remember where tony ended up?

I disagree, he wouldn't have touched any other driver's car, because it was Denny he was going beat and bang and not let that 11 beat him

Exactly, Big mouth Tony started that one and Vickers finished it...Tony is all talk no action

So, once he started walking up the track towards the 11, going for the win, you think he would have lifted knowing it would cost him the race if it were someone else? I just don't think he would have.

I think we can agree to disagree...If someone is talking $hit about you from day one of the season and doesn't stop even after he wrecks you at Bristol I think you race that MF'er harder and dirtier with no worries about wrecking him, I mean he's essentially handed you an invitation to do it. That's just my opinion, tho

I don't necessarily disagree with you. I just think under Joey's circumstances, going for the win and all, you race as hard as you can no matter who is beside you, rival or not.

Exactly, even if he had gotten in front of Logano he never would have stayed there.. not even out of turn 2. It was Sonoma when Vickers put Tony in the tires I remember laughing at my dad for that.

Remember the Talladega fall race last year? Who tried to block Waltrip and caused the big wreck? I'll give you a hint, his name starts with a T and ends with ony Stewart.

I like Stewart, but he's all wet on this Logano thing.

He didn't have the car to do it. His incar shows he never let off. He ddn't even have enough of a run to get under Logano anyway. What is really strange is Tony knew he had a tire going down and he had no chance of holding it low and off of Logano if he had gotten unde him going into turn 1.

Classic Tony whining, but everyone will buy his hair splitting to justify why it was OK for him to divebomb one of the fastest car like that.
 
More strong words from Roger Penske.

CUP: Penske Stands By His Man
Roger Penske was angered by comments about Joey Logano…
Associated Press | Posted March 26, 2013 Charlotte, NC​

Roger Penske bristled Monday at "petty" barbs against Joey Logano for his wealthy upbringing and defended his driver in the fallout from Sunday's race at California that left Denny Hamlin in a hospital.

Logano was involved in a last-lap accident with Hamlin and then had a post-race altercation with Tony Stewart.

"Listen, Joey is a great driver and what happened at the end there wasn't anything more than hard racing," Penske told The Associated Press. "I stand behind him and I think he's going to go down as one of the greatest drivers to ever race."

Predictions like Penske's are one reason why it suddenly seems the garage has turned against the 22-year-old Logano, who came into NASCAR with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2008 with the nickname "Sliced Bread." He'd risen rapidly through the racing ranks with the financial backing from his father, Tom, who used funds from the family's Connecticut waste management company to help his two children pursue their dreams.

Logano had the means to pursue a racing career, and was in Georgia racing quarter midgets at the age of 6 while his older sister chased a life of competitive ice skating.

Stewart took aim at that upbringing after Sunday's race, calling Logano "nothing but a little rich kid that's never had to work in his life." The sentiment was amped up Monday when Patricia Driscoll, girlfriend of Kurt Busch, referred to Logano as #TrustFundRacer in a series of tweets that accused him of reckless racing with "no less than 5 drivers."

"We were lucky that none of the others were hurt by his actions," Driscoll tweeted.

An agitated Penske thought the criticism was out of line.

"He's a solid young man and his family has supported him in racing as many families of professional athletes do in every sport," Penske said. "Anyone who looks at that as a criticism, to focus on that is just petty."

Penske also defended Logano for his television interview immediately after the race when Logano said of Hamlin; "He probably shouldn't have done what he did last week, so that's what he gets." Fans have criticized Logano for the remark, accusing him of wishing harm to Hamlin, who spent Sunday night in a California hospital under observation with a potential back injury.

"That's a tough thing, Joey had no idea what the situation was with Denny when he was doing the interview," Penske said. "It's one of those things that came out and taken out of context isn't what he meant. He can't take it back, but people are certainly blowing that up to mean something different than what he knew at the time."

As for Stewart, who nearly came to blows with Logano on pit road before the two were separated by crew members because Stewart felt Logano had blocked him?

"The comments by Tony -- he's one of the best blockers in the business," Penske said. "I've watched the video, I've seen what happened, and there's nothing there that should be an issue."
