As the one and only Tony Stewart fan on this message board, I will pledge to do my duty to hide in the corner everytime Tony screws up. :D

HOWEVER, when he does well, or does something unintentionally, I WILL DEFEND HIM TO THE DEATH!

Thanks PJ,I think?!
I respect Stewart as a driver,however,I still think he's a punk.[Yes,I said those dreaded Taylor thread words].It really doesn't matter what I think,I'm only 1 guy.If he's your hero[fave] that's ok too.I do know that he's not boring and he makes alot of news.For that very reason,here's his meeting place! :)Congrats on your autograph!

I must agree with ya Axe - as a diehard Bobby Labonte fan I have tried desperately to like Tony Stewart... but to no avail. I enjoy his heart for racing and his desire to win... but also must agree with Evernham that someone needs to kick his butt one good time.

Everham thinks he is dealing with Jeff Gordan not a real man, However im a little worried that when it comes down to the final ten for championship someone not in the running like (khane, rusty,biffel) will go after tony and see that he does not win it all. Im telling you guys this system sets up very nice for Tony he kick a$$ at Homestead and Phienox, and he should pick up momentum going into it with the last race in Richmond........anybody out there going to richmond in september? I got a guy who can get tix's if anyone wants to go.

Looks like not only can Tony dish it out but he can also take it..........i did not see him and the boys rushing out after K.Bush and his pit crew and Bush does have a little bit of a "history" granted most of the time it involved Jimmy Spencer, but Tony took it very well. I did have the #1 and the #5 spots iguess that does not pay. :banghead:

A tidbit from the Virginian Pilot Sports Section[Aug.3]The Buzz column:
Weighing In-
NASCAR driver and occasional bad boy Tony Stewart of Rushville,Ind.,appears to have an expanding waistline these days.
Said TNT pit reporter Matt Yocum:"That's why his nickname has gone from 'Rushville Rocket' to 'Krispy Kreme Comet.'"

Thought I'd bump up this old thread for some serious celebrations for Tony Stewart.

He has 3 wins in the last 4 races...and four consecutive top 5 finishes. He is the hottest driver in the series, and JJ and Biffle are really feeling the pressure to stay up front in the standings.

Tony has won on a road course (Infineon), a super-speedway (Daytona) and now on a 1-miler (New Hampshire).

Was jeffrey lucky back when he was winning? I'm loving the fact that Gordan is having his worst year. Its wayyy past due.

Keep it up Stewart. If Jr. can't win it there's no one other i'd rather see in victory lane.

I never have watched NASCAR before, but with Tony Stewart rolling, I actually watched the last race. Very exciting for Joe Gibbs Racing. Some of the things said by the media earlier in the year about JG's racing team really pissed me off when Stewart's car had some sort of malfunction - about them not paying attention to detail, blah blah blah. Looks like they've got it together now. Way to go Joe, J.D., Tony, Bobby and everyone else on the team.

Absolutely, sharing testing notes has been a strength of Gibbs Racing.

38 pts is cutting it closer than Tony and co wanted to, he will have to have top ten finishes in both remaining races. Luckily, these are two of his better tracks.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Tony Stewart (http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/nextel/drivers/87/) went on a shopping spree last week that he hopes will lead to a new and improved Nextel Cup champion. ``I went out and bought $17,000 worth of exercise equipment for my house,'' Stewart said Wednesday as he prepared for yet another of the dozens of media events this week in New York, leading up to Friday night's NASCAR awards ceremony at which he will collect checks for more than $5.8 million.

The 5-foot-9 Stewart, who probably weighs at least 20 pounds more than the 185 listed in the NASCAR media guide, admittedly loves fast food and has often made himself the brunt of his own jokes about how out of shape he is.

INDIANAPOLIS – In a Super Bowl showdown, Tony Stewart's NFL allegiance would lie with the Indianapolis Colts, not with the team coached by his NASCAR boss, Joe Gibbs.

"I told Joe, 'If it's Colts and Redskins, sorry, Joe, I'm wearing blue and white, so you'll have to get over it,'" the two-time Nextel Cup champion said.

i've only been following nascar for about two years. i first started bc it was on so much, at bars, at friends' houses, i figured i should pick a driver to root for so i could at least have some sort of investment in it when i was forced to watch it. i was of course watching nascar when i made this decision, and just then they interview rusty wallace, who'd crashed out of the race. he said something like: 'i tell ya. that stewart kid is out of control. he wrecks me, puts me out of the race, then, while i'm standing by my car in the warning track, he circles back around and has the gall to flip me the finger." i knew then that i was destined to be a ts fan. when i found out he raced for jgr, i knew i was destined to get a #20 tattoo where the sun don't shine.

Tony should probably tone it down a notch, however I tend to look away when the "victim" is a guy like Kyle Busch; who obviously has to learn things the hard way.

I'm not 100% sure what happened on the Kenseth deal..but I thought it was hilarious afterwards when Kenseth got on the radio and swore he didn't hit Tony in retaliation. (YEAH RIGHT...The Cameras say otherwise)

I hope not. He is my driver, always has been, and undoubtedly will continue to be, but I was really disappointed in his actions during Daytona.

It is a fact that if you knock someone into the infield where he did he is going slide back across the track into oncoming traffic.

That being said, no excuse for that. None at all.

Well if what he writes is true it does make me feel a little better about the incident, even though I still don't condone his actions. Although I have 1 question from this. Where did this guy get his recorded version and how it includes coverage not shown by NBC.

"Stewart was shown little respect and instead given a whole lot of garbage to put up with every lap. His patience lasted for an admirable length of time (I’d have lost it long ago). He raced around and simply sucked up everything his fellow racers were giving him. And then came Kenseth and the incident which, upon further review of my recorded version of the race when I returned home, was never aired on television."

No worries, it happens to me all the time. :)

I do believe that Kenseth probably started the incident and I agree with Fathead, that is doesn't change the fact that Tony shouldn't have done what he did. But we didn't see the whole situation and it doesn't surprise me with NBC's terrible race coverage. If the race were on FOX, I guarentee even if we missed it over a commercial, DW or Larry Mac would have pointed it out. NBC's race coverage is a joke and I will be glad when they are out of NASCAR broadcasts.

I heard it, Stewart said "I guess it was ok for Kenseth to slam into me", and he said very sarcasticallyI missed that I guess. I thought he just said "I guess it was ok for Kenseth to turn me sideways" or something like that. Anyways, Stewart needs to think a little before he endangers the drivers on the track like that.

This is what I found he said

"I guess he doesn't think anything about when he got me sideways," Stewart said. "He got back what he started in the first place. They didn't penalize him when he turned me sideways."

Kenseth turned Stewart early in the race. Stewart answered midway through after Kenseth had taken a run leading the race.

"He started it," Stewart said. "I finished it."

Allright!
This is becoming a good bareknuckled affair.
NASCAR fans are great and we have some great ones here!
I don't understand how people can shrug this sport off.
This is the perfect sport in which to spend the football offseason.

Back on topic,there was definitely some bad driving in the race,a lot of unnecessary blocking,early and often.That's bad racing,but to run somebody off the track at 190 mph,that's criminal.

Before I get the #20 fans fired up,just think about this for a minute.
Change the number on the car to another drivers and look at it objectively.
What would happen if Kenseth got hurt or died?
It's one thing if it's a racing accident,it's another if it was done deliberitly.
Stewarts career would be over.Who'd want to race with him?Or worse.

When Earnhardt died,he was tagged by Sterling Marlin in a racing accident.If he would have died from something like Stewart did,how do you think that would have played out?

Axe & Hawgz- No one is arguing that Stewart didn't do a stupid thing. Stop beating this like a dead horse. Exactly what are you trying to prove; that my favorite driver make stupid retalitory move? I realize it. Move on.

What #20 did was no different than those who continue to bump draft well into the corners. We saw it a lot on Sunday...and I have a feeling we will see it even more at the big tracks after NASCAR's "No bump drafting" tirade has calmed down a bit.

You know what? Lets just throw Tony in jail for the incident. And while we are at it, lets throw Jeff Gordon in jail for causing an 18-car pile up at the '02 Daytona...or throw Jarrett in jail for his retaliation on Newman at Bristol last year. The list goes on and on...

the best part in the whole thing is how bad *donkey* Tony is as a driver his car is all banged up and he still comes in top 5. If someone would have do that to tony not only would he not have crashed, he would have passed him on the next turn and made love to his wife after the race...........Such is the Tony

Aw come on, what are we supposed to talk about in the Tony Stewart thread until this sunday? Don't take it personally. I don't have anything against you, just that egotistical-bully-crybaby-that tries to hurt people when he doesn't get his way- driver that you pull for. :D :Peace:

Easy now, HAWGS. Even the Stewart fans here have admitted they didn't like what Tony did. You can peg as many adjectives as you want on him but you cannot deny his talent.

I don't know how long you have been watching NASCAR but your boy Gordon has caused quite a few wrecks himself and done his share of crying.

It sucks that Tony's engine blew. However, I have learned one thing from watching the last two races; He will be out towards the front in virtually every race this year, as he did last year.

Yesterday, he was keeping up with the lead pack with his worn tires; and doing it well. The guy can race a car with worn tires just as well as most drivers can on sticker tires. Simply amazing...

Had that engine not blown, I have full confidence that he would have contented for the lead on the last lap. Cest La Vie...the season has just started.

Watch out for VEGAS! Tony hasn't finished outside the top 10 at this track in 4 straight races...

That race blew. I was busy all day so I started it on Tivo at like 11 last night. I thought for sure Tony was going to be top 3 until he blew his engine. Sucks for Biffle too. His speed just shows the Home Depot team is dialed in. Too bad the gay 48 team is too. I really enjoyed the little background bio they did on Denny Hamlin where he said he was a huge Redskins fan. That rules. I was going to root for him anyways, but now I like him that much more. Just 1 more Redskin supporter on the circuit.

Agreed. As much as I dislike it it looks like he is gonna be the man to beat this season. That team has a good thing going and I don't see it stopping this year. Gordon looked like he was driving in mud the entire race, I really thought he would do better yesterday.

Gordon just didnt' look the same in that black paint scheme yesterday...

On a side note; I LOVED the hood of Hamlin's car. They took the FedEx/Kinko's asterick and blew it up on the black hood. Looked sharp...

Looked sharp...Yeah I really liked Hamlin's paint scheme yesterday they should keep it that way IMO but I am sure FedEx will get the top billing throughout the year. I couldn't even make out what logo was on Gordon's car, I think they said it was some type of DuPont paint products that Chip Foose came up with.

I believe Gibbs Racing has 4 paint schemes planned for '06. One is the general Fed Ex car we saw last week. The 2nd is the FedEx/Kinkos car we saw yesterday. The 3rd and 4th are Fed Ex Air and Ground versions of the orginial car.

Yeah...I think the paint from Gordon's car is for hot rods and motorcycles.

They are supposed to alternate the #11 between the 4 paint schemes all season, according to what I read.

It was good to see Yeley and Hamlin both run top 12. Had tony's car not blown up, it could have been a top 15 for all 3. Not bad.

once again: bleepety bleep blown engines.

Thanks to Stewart for making the race exciting today. LOL pointing at someone out the window and wrecking them at the same time takes some skillz. LOL at Carl Edwards post race comments also. When asked about spinning Stewart in the pits he said he could handle being spun, but not being spun and given the finger. Congrats to Hamlin as well for the rookie sweep at Dover.

It's times like these that I wish Earnhardt Sr. was still racing.

So does Tony:

"If the 3 car was here, I don't think we would have the same problems in this series as we have," said Stewart, referring to the late Dale Earnhardt (http://www.nascar.com/drivers/dps/dearnhar00/cup/index.html). "He always had a way of letting drivers know where they stood and when to move and when not to move."

Someone should have told that to Kenseth a couple weeks ago. :Peace:
