My two cents. Tony made his bed in NASCAR from day one with his attitude. Stewart is dealing with the frustration of being unable to win every race unlike the series he came from and won regularly. Tony is dealing with a series that has politics, a certain expected demeanor and everyone must deal with the frustration of not winning, regularly.
Evidently, Tony has not grown enough and cannot deal with the setbacks in a gentlemanly manner, continuing to display his anger and frustration in harmful ways to himself through actions on and off the track.
IMO, the deal between Tony and Terry wasn't a deal at all. Tony got pizzed because of the trash being thrown on the track by the various and assorted anal retentive spectators, and turned left, into Terry. Another of a long series of emotional reactions from Tony. Of course this is speculation (isn't that what this forum is for, speculation??) and MMHO.
Just another "Tony Stewart moment" (at my age we call them senior moments) solidifying his already preconceived and deserved reputation.
Tony sometimes gets unjustly nominated for misdeeds, just as people think ........ ALL ..........Dale Earnhardt, Jr., fans were responsible for throwing trash on the track surface before the conclusion of the Talladega event. Not all Junior fans are careless and disrespectful. Every driver or team has fans that fit the classification and there might have ben a few from any given group throwing stuff.
On the other hand, Junior did one absolutely unforgivable disservice to the sport, NASCAR, track promoters and other race fans by saying he thought the fan reaction of throwing trash showed "emotion", something he feels the sport needs.
That is an open invitation from the leader of the pack and encouragment for his fans to throw things. I sure hope he offers a retraction and suggests to his fans it is okay to yell and scream but under no circumstances is it okay to throw stuff, anywhere, any time and any place.
The people who threw anything at all were irresponsible and thier actions considered by many to be uneducated, immature and thoughtless. For those who think this is attributed to one part of the country or one group of humans, try a hockey game in New Jersey or a football game in Philadelphia. Now there are a classless bunch of humans. There is no other classification for people who react in that manner as calling them "human" is accurate, but not by much.
OKAY, just a few thoughts to let the readers know Da Whizzer is back from Deere hunting.
What happened with T. Labonte and T. Stewart after the race. I saw when Stewart made a lame-brain left turn and bashed the frontend of the Kellogg's #5 after the race. Was it retaliation for something? I would think that Terry and Tony would get along since Bobby Labonte is Terry's brother and Tony's teammate.
Im glad he finished near the bottom!
