Well stated Wolfcub..........the people in the booth and interviewing cause most of the problems with their constant search for controversy. And then the fans jump in and the fans don't know squat about what really happened. A camera shot from a half or more mile away does not tell the whole story. I saw Tony involved in two incidents today...........both sure looked like racing things. Until it is proven otherwise, then I think wise people would be well served to keep their mouthes shut. That goes double for Wally and Benny today.
People are making half-hearted excuses for Tony saying those who criticize Tony do not know the entire story. The whole, entire, complete, unbiased, uncontroversial story is, PATIENCE !!
Want proof ??? Watch the rerun and what you see is Kahne staying an even distance behind the lead car and the car on his left side. What you do see, from every angle and distance, is Stewart jump to the outside and pass Marlin, coming up too quickly on Kahne. PATIENCE would have avoided that wreck even if Khane had slowed.
Proof came in a later restart with Stewart behind a car that missed a shift showing how Stewart used patience and avoided a wreck like the one he had already caused with Khane.
When Tony wrecked Khane, it was because he was trying to win the race before the halfway point of the race. He knows better. PATIENCE !!!!!
The guys in the booth picking on Tony?? First it was Darrell and Larry and now it is Wally and Benny. Gee, I wonder why ??
Who has caused more wrecks this year than Tony ?? Find all the reasons in the world to blame someone or something else but Tony's record since Daytona speaks for itself. Look at the real reason they have used him for fodder. It isn't 100% because several different commentators and others in the media have created the situation. Several other drivers are fed up. They like Stewart as a person but they are voicing their opinon to NASCAR about his on-track actions.
Tony's Chicago victory was a win in dominating fashion, fair and square. The victory would have been a lot nicer if he wasn't involved in those stinky, avoidable, on-track incidents.
For the sake of the other competitors, I hope Stewart gets his act together by the next race.
To Wolfcub, the pit reporter you asked about is Marty Snider. Snider is the worse of the worse when it comes to stirring the pot and trying his absolute best to make the pot boil. If someone thinks there is a worse NASCAR reporter, it would be interesting to know who it might be. Snider's style and tactics are lower than wale crap in the deepest part of the ocean. Please do not ask how I really feel since I worked thirty minutes to clean up this opinion.
But I was checkin from time to time
