Got a clarification on Stewart's contract. It runs through 2009, not 2008. But Gibbs wants to lock him up. But this was in today's Tampa Tribune and was on Jayski's:
STEWART CONTRACT: Joe Gibbs Racing wants to sign Tony Stewart to a new contract, even though his current contract runs through 2009. But Stewart said Thursday he doesn't plan to negotiate during the offseason.
"It's flattering they already want to do this and get it done and out of the way, but I'm taking this offseason off. I need it desperately."
