Marty Smith sits down with Smoke

Having problem playing ESPN ****** video format but going by the title, is there any doubt that he will race next year?

I thought he was good to go for the start of the season at Daytona.

It wouldn't play on Firefox for me. Had to use IE for some reason. To sum it up if you can't watch, he says he's 99% sure he will race the Daytona 500 unless he has a setback. Says he's not gonna quit racing sprint cars because racing is his passion.

Yep, using FF here and it wouldn't load up.

Thanks for the recap.

Office Depot got burned bad because of Tony's passion. They pay millions to be on Tony's car during the race. Not some fill-in driver that can't seem to crack the top 10. Office Depot literally vanished from TV coverage since Tony's injury.
They should renegotiate a clause in their contract with Tony that if he misses a certain amount of Cup races again because of his "passion", then they get a multi-million dollar refund check on their sponsorship.

Office Depot hasn't been on the car at all this year. They announced they weren't renewing with Smoke last year, well before his injury.

I remember because they signed Bass Pro Shops as a replacement and Jamie McMurray was left holding the bag.

I remember that also but I was just skimming the post and didn't catch it.

Tony needs a girlfriend. I admire his passion but there are other things in life than racing.

For some that's true, for others not so much.

I'm all for having a steady girlfriend but I dont believe in marriage and I highly doubt I want any kids either. Maybe as I get older I'll change my views on things but as it stands, I'm good.

Sure Tony feels the same way imo.

This.

Plus, Tony genuinely enjoys what he does regardless of the inherent risks, which is more than many people can say. If that's all he needs to feel alive, more power to him.

I'm 70 years old and go into the Gulf of Mexico up to 25 miles offshore in my 20' Pontoon boat to fish because I trust my skills to do it safely and I'll climb 30' up a tree in a climber to hunt deer because I also trust my skill set to do this safely and I have a passion for both activities. I know the risks and if something unpleasant happens so be it, I'm not going to sit in a rocking chair and turn to dust so GO TONY good for you.

You think with all that money and the wavy black hair any woman would kill to have, Tony could pick any woman he wanted? I would know. I have the same problem :D
 
Tony ha

The last thing Smoke needs is another woman to distract him. He is a lot like Tim Richmond when it comes to women.

I don't believe in marriage either. Going through a divorce right now.
 
Well, for what it's worth, I'm a young single man and I still want a wife and kids someday.

Joey Logano and I, the only people who still believe in marriage. :D
