Stewart Blasts Robbie

I see a bad moon arising, I see trouble......

Only one competitors viewpoint of course, but a rather pointed one. See the whole article over at NOL.

Stewart had a front-row seat for a wreck during Sunday's Checker Auto Parts 500 at Phoenix involving Scott Wimmer and Gordon -- and was quite adamant about who was at fault.

"That's because of that idiot Robby Gordon, if he can't race guys, he just wrecks guys," Stewart said. "He's been a weapon ever since he's been in Winston Cup racing.

"I like the guy. He's fun to hang around with. But he's the worst race car driver I've ever seen.

"He has the most natural ability I've ever seen in a race car, but he puts his helmet on and it must be four sizes too tight because he just does not use his head."
 
I don't normally like to bash drivers, but Robby just makes himself look like a fool every weekend. His self defense for spinning Wimmer just irritates me.
 
If I were Tony I would have waited till after next week to make that comment,or Jack Roush may be sending Robbie an early Christmas present. ;)
 
Man what Tony said is so true. I just wish Robby would use his head a little more. I bet if he did, he might have some more wins.
 
Tony is so true. I've said the same things about Robby Gordon. At times I think he practices with the Bodines. Never admits he's done anything wrong.
 
I've heard Todd Bodine admit his fault many, many times.

"There isn't a driver on the track that hasn't made a mistake, and then there are some that have made big ones like I did."

So, not sure what you're referring to...
 
Well that bonehead move almost cost Stewart the championship. He has a right to be mad.
 
thats just racin:) if we all knew what was going to happen all the time, it wouldnt be very exciting
 
Was refering to Robby. He always, IMO, appears to just brush it off as racing unless someone has taken him out.
 
Well that might make Robbie a little mad going into Homestead. Stewart better hope Gordon doesn't qualify anywhere near him.

Stew just better be careful each time he laps him.
 
Everything Smoke said is right on. And it isn't just his opinion either. Ask Jeffy boy Gordon. Ask Johnson. There's a 50/50 chance Rubbie Gordon will wreck someone at Homestead. I do think if he's not stupid enough to try and wreck Smoke. And a fist fight after the race? Thats more likely. Smoke kick his can!

If Robby wrecks Stewart and he loses the championship, Robby will be sitting in the hospital bed for a few years.
 
I just have one simple question for you guys.

Why is it that when I point out that Childress won't employ a driver who does anything besides demolition derby driving, I get crucified? Then everyone starts talking about how THIS Childress driver does nothing but wreck people.

Who exactly is surprised that someone in an RCR car drives this way? (OK, that's 2 questions, but who's counting...) It's the man's calling card. It's what his empire was built on. Earnhardt, Harvick, Rubby...how many does it take before the coincidence becomes a pattern?

Dirty drivers are all this creep wants, and it's all he has ever hired. So I'll continue my one man littany against him until he dries up and blows away. The sooner the better too.
 
Ward, those opinions are not allowed to be voiced. You are not allowed to dislike anyone from RCR or DEI. :rolleyes:
 
Childress does seem to go for the drivers that race on the edge. They just need to learn where the line is.
 
I am a fan of Harvick and don't mind if anyone criticizes his driving or any of the other drivers for RCR.

I happen to believe that Tony was right on about Robby Gordon. The guy is a definite racing talent, but needs to learn patience and needs that ego knocked down.

Soooooo....all of a sudden, Todd Bodine, Jimmy Spencer, and Kurt Busch are just "on the edge", right?

Or is it that sacred bowtie that makes the difference?
 
I would take it a step farther than that, as they constantly whine about Gordon's "dirty driving" too. It isn't the bow-tie that makes the rules different for them, it's anything even remotely related to an Earnhardt.

Anyone watching Busch this season? If Shane Hmeil isn't one of the worst out there then I'm nuts. But people like him and change the rules, because he's in Jr's rap group. :)
 
Here is where my question lays. Just what the hell where the analysts in the booth looking at when they all agreed by saying they were on Robbies side as far as the fault lies with yesterdays wreck? I believe Wally said something to the affect of "Well I am on Robbies side with this one." And the others were like "Yeah" and "Uh huh"
 
Those comments are classic, and what's so funny about that is it is really so true. Robby Gordon seems like a nice guy, but you put him in a race car and it seems like he's as bad about wrecking people as Shane Hmiel in the Busch series.

I'm going to agree with Tony Stewart on this one. But he better be careful what he says. There's still one race to go, and Robby Gordon is in it.
 
Anyone think Richard might fire Robby and hire Jimmy?:) At least Jimmy knows how to punt em and make it look like it's just racin!!:)

BTW, I'm a Jr fan (and big time Sr fan) and I don't mind the comments about Robby or Richard.:) Fire away......they both have earned their reputations!:D

Ya ya know I'm all for those bowties. I personally don't care if they drive a Ford, Chevy or whatever. If they can't drive, they need to learn. This includes all ford, chevy, pontiac or dodge drivers. Robby is the worst driver out there besides Todd Bodine.
 
Well said DE-Wrangler, at least Spencer is able to make it look like it's just racin. :)

I agree 100% about the cars.......but disagree 100% with your comparison of Robby and Todd.:)
 
this is the first race I've missed in years ( next time I'll rewind the tape before setting up the recorder ).but from what I hear it was alot of impatience on gordons part.
 
I have to agree with Tony on this one and just hope Robber's insurance is all paid up.

Todd has been a "victim of circumstance" more than his share and doesn't whine like Robber.
 
Robby's hard head cost him a win at Sears Point last year, he could have let Kevin by but he didn't, and he lost that race to Tony. I am 100% sure that Robby has the talent, he needs to learn patience so he can use that talent to it's full extent.

Um, never.

Tony's comments are right on. Robby seems nice enough, he just turns into a complete idiot when he gets into his car. Perhaps his helmet is a little too small and cuts off necessary oxygen to his brain, only allowing basic functions to continue and stopping good functions like common sense and good driving ability.

Robby seems to have no patience and wants to race everyone hard all the time never stopping to consider the consequences. I would hate to see what would have happened had Tony been involved in Robby's crash or if Robby does something next week. Like someone else said, Robby would be in the hospital for a while.

I really don't care whether someone is driving a Chevy, Ford, Pontiac or Dodge. If they are making dumb moves like Robby tends to make, then they need to learn to drive and take some advice from other drivers about when to go for it and when to lay back some. Patience is something that is going to take Robby some time to learn if he does at all.

I didn't think much of the comment, because I thought Alan said it.
 
No surprise that this incident was one which the panel on IWC looked at most closely last night. Showing two replays from cameras outside the cars and one from inside Robbie's car.

Initially when looking at the replays from outside the car it appears that Robbie moves down the track into Scott. The view from inside Robbies car seems to show otherwise, looking more like the initial move was Scott up the track towards the nose of Robbie's car.
 
They should just pull Robby's NASCAR liscense and send him back to the desert. That's where he belongs. That dude just doesn't have what it takes for Winston Cup racing. He needs to give it up.
 
I also have to take exception to the Robby-Todd Bodine comparison. Todd isn't nearly as dangerous, and he also isn't an a-hole.

Yup.....torking Robby with a Big Cup on the line might not have been a good idea.
