Stewart is at it again.

Steph makes the most sence on this thing.....cause if Tony was going to talk he would have already talked (just like sadam) and about the wus thing, heck Jeff Gordon was tired so you know brian would have been since this was his 1st rc start.

i can here it now "Comming to PIR in 2005, see Tony Stewart 2002 nascar winston champ battle the areas biggest drivers in the UMP Summernationals"

I love Tony.. he's a great racer and he's good for the sport, but I don't expect him to be there after 2006. And with the way everyone acts towards him, I wouldn't blame him one bit if he did leave.

One little outburst and everyone thinks he should be parked, yadda yadda. It gets old... lets stop beating a dead horse. Tony Stewart is Tony Stewart.. he shows emotion.. unlike some others.


"He got me in the chest, kinda knocked the wind out of me, then tried to pull me out of the car," Vickers said. "That's why my guys grabbed him. Here's the deal: It was not a fist and he did not hit me in the face.

Now if you get the wind knocked out of you when someone grabs your chest.... you really might want to check out a gym sometime.

One little outburst, Where have you been all season? It sounds like no matter what Tony does it is allright in your book. A die hard Tony fan, that's cool I can live with that, but one little outburst come on. :salute:
 
Actually Super-G, slick has Kevin as his avatar so maybe we can understand why he doesn't think Tony did anything wrong. :lol:

As others have said it is a cheap ass move not to wait until Vickers is out of the car to at least be able to defend himself. Of course, if he had then NASCAR would have meted out punishment on him also. Until or unless Tony comes up with a good explanation of his actions one will be left thinking the worse of him. :wacko:

And, if he leaves now or in 2006 or whenever, guess what I think NASCAR and the fans can survive his absence... ^_^
 
Tony has offered no explanation for his inappropriate action.

After reading posted replies to Tony Stewart's latest incident, the question comes to mind, what explanation could Tony possibly offer to justify attacking another driver sitting in his car??

Posts stating Tony is Tony, Vickers is a wuss and let's wait for Tony's response are deflections of the reality of a serious action by Stewart.
Tony Stewart, Jimmy Spencer, Michael Waltrip or any other driver in a similar situation NEVER has a good enough reason to attack someone sitting in a car. If there is anyone deserving of being called a wuss, it is the person who attacks the guy at the disadvantage.

And yes, auto racing at this level is a contact sport but times have changed from the old days. The days of backyard brawls are pretty much gone and that is a good thing. The ones that still take place deserve firm and costly punishment. This is no longer a bush league sport.

If Tony thinks people have a pre-set mentality of his deportment, he alone gives them good reason. Tony keeps adding fuel to the fire. There are irrefutable facts to back up his hot-headed and irrational behavior that were reported fairly by the press at the beginning. Granted things got blown out of proportion later, but his self-inflicted bad-boy reputation is deserved and the blame lays at his doorstep for continued questionable actions.

There is a great deal of pressure in the NEXTEL NASCAR Series and some drivers handle it better than others. Some fans like drivers with emotion but the drivers who are winning are the ones who get the job done while keeping their emotions in check.
 
I too find it humorous to see all these people who applauded Spencer for sucker punching a man half his size at best strapped in a race car now vilifying Tony for doing essentially the same thing.

I thought I was biased. Maybe I'm not alone. Or do people just hate Kurt Busch that bad? And if so, for what? He does a pretty accurate Dale Earnhardt impersonation in my book. But it was OK for Dale to spin everyone in sight.

Some folks need to develop some consistency about these things. But I'm probably wrong as a dozen people will no doubt be eager to point out. :idunno:

Your wrong. It will be at least 2 dozen! :eek:
 
I think Tony is outta control.

Too many 'events' this year with one common denominator: Tony was involved.

I think it's acceptable to think that a driver might lose some self control occasionally, but Tony has taken too many 'occasions' in my opinion, and too many of them have included physical altercations.

It's one thing to confront somebody verbally, and look like you're in a scuffle and a totally different thing to actually start fighting.

I simply think Tony has become a danger to those around him...one day he's gonna really hurt someone....

Maybe they could put him in one of those lion cages before and after the race!

"Look daddy, it's Tony!"

"Don't get too close to the cage son, he might bite..."

:cheers:

Yes, people hate Kurt that bad. And, no he is not impersonating Dale. Dale took his lumps. He didn't just take to the track as the Intimidator. He was put into the wall plenty in the early years. And, yes Spencer got what he had coming for his cheap ass punch as well. And, I like Spencer...
 
The difference between Dale sr. and Kurt Busch IMO is the fact that Earnhardt had the respect of most of his fellow drivers. Not saying it was right what he did sometimes, but Sr. was the man back then, Busch is just a punk needing to grow up . He sure hasn't garnered the repect of many in the Cup garrage. Getting back to Stewart.... i think he lost quite a bit of respect from his fellow peers in Cup. Maybe he just puts too much pressure on himself to win, but in any case he needs to tone it down and focus more on driving the right way and not being a detriment to others on the track.
 
you know what i was just thinking of? a certain song by buck owens...

"how many of those that sit and judge me/have walked the streets of bakersfield..."

funny how there were so few people at the scene, and so many that know exactly what happened.

Tony got into at least 4 drivers in turn 11 also.  Sure, other drivers had contact, but not as frequently as Stewart.  And add to the fact that he had a post-race altercation with Vickers, and the rest of his history throughout this year, Im starting to think he may need to be parked for a race.

agreed. Personally I'd like to also see some points deducted from His team as well.

Why would you deduct points from the team? They didn't do anything. [/b][/quote]
Usually point reduction penalties are assessed in both driver and owner points.I'd rather just see T.Stewart have driver points deducted,but itb would also include owner points most likely. ;)
 
$50,000 fine, loses 25 driver and 25 owner points.

:blink: WEAK!!! :wacko:

I'm wondering how much Home Depot's NASCAR sponsorship came into play.

Interesting that you mention that:

Marty Smith: Boys, you've got to remember something here: POLITICS. I know it's total conspiracy theory, but I don't care. Stewart is 307 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson, and sitting him would likely jeopardize his chances at making The Chase. Remember, Home Depot is an official NASCAR sponsor

He's a loose cannon, has not won a race this year and is pissed and will take it out on anyone for any reason. Oh did I say he is a loose cannon! :EEEEK: Old smoke is going up in smoke pretty soon. He's gonna start losing friends pretty soon.

...is there any event or anyone in this world that you judge without having undeniable proof that they are guilty?

No offense, just wondering. :cheers:
