OK guy's I gotta vent on this one. When the post race interviews were being conducted Mr. Mouth (Stewart) opened his hole one more time before thinking. He stated that the 38 car came right up into him for no reason but a pay back for yesterdays Busch race. I did not see that race so I dont know what happened. But I do know the integrity of David Gilliland and he does not give pay backs like that. I have never known of him to do that. I doubt he ever will. Stewart asked to see the replay and before it was analyzed or even looked at closer from a different angle he blamed David. And he stated that "He lucked into that cup ride". From what I saw David got tagged and got into Stewart. Plus he did not "luck" into that ride. He worked long and hard to get there. It's easier to play the blame game then to keep ones mouth shut until all the facts and figures are in. I like Stewart as much as I like working on Chryslers. I really hate Chryslers. HATE HATE HATE HATE.

Thunder, I wholeheartedly agree with your statements regarding Stewart and Gilliland. But I must ask, what do you do for a living that makes you hate working on Chrysler products? Personally, I will take working on ANY Chrysler product over a GM and most Fords.

Hey Thunder,
You KNOW that I'm behind you all the way on this!! I didn't see yesterdays race either, but Stewart did say that "he came across the front of his hood in yesterdays race" and that's what the ''supposed'' payback is for, ok, what was the reason that he was coming across the front of Stewarts car that he supposedly needed to pay him back? The only reason I can think is he thinks that Gilliland thinks Stewart wrecked him yesterday or Stewart has a guilty conscience from yesterday.
I saw the same replay as you, to bad they didn't show Stewart that replay instead of the one of the wreck behind him, but I'm sure he would have still just spewed out some kind of nonsense.

those are the kinds of coments tony says that really get me frustrated. he thinks the whole world is out to get him EVERY time he is wrecked. I understand that he worked incredibly hard all race and was angry he was taken out after the catuion, but it still seems like it happens every week. He's always questioning drivers abilities and looking down on every rookie that cuts him off. He's always complaining about "give and take" when, as i recall, in his early years seemed to be wrecking cars and throwing helmets. Oh yeah, and is he the only driver that nascar ever made take anger management? after winning the championship? So as you can tell the subject of stewart really gets me going!

P.S. Is tony the only driver forced to take anger management? just wondering...

I believe he is, at least to my knowledge, and I've been following it since the mid-80s.

I try and steer my customers away from buying Chryslers. I think they are the most backwards car man could ever manufacture. Well no, let me rephrase that. American manufactured vehicle. Saab is up there in the import section. I will work on a Ford any day of the week and a GM after that. Unless its Toyota Tuesday. Never fails, some customer will bring in a broken Toyota on Tuesday. The one good thing Chrysler ever did was develope the hemispherical chamber head. But when the chips are down and the bills need to be paid I'll take Old Mrs. Smith's Dodge Dart and fix it for her. Hey, she always brings us cookies or cakes. And just to let the world know. I have been paid in cookies before.

Tony Stewart cannot handle losing. Period. I wonder if Zippy's gonna cry again?

[wardfan]

Tony obviously needs to repeat his anger manangment class. Someone must have taken the test for him the first time.

[Lefturn]

Tony is a hell of a driver, but he is one of .. if not the BIGGEST whiner in the garage area. Who can recall when he dumped Matt Kenseth at Daytona? Who saw the Busch race where Tony was overly agressive on two occasions wrecking two cars?

Kyle got wrecked on the straightaway for pete's sake! I aint no Kyle fan, but I would have to say that Tony's front bumper had alot to do with that crash.

I am confused about Tony, I love to watch him race, but he acts like he is perfect and the 'victim'. I disagree....

I would give a years pay to see that one. As I recall didnt DW get the whine award for a few years there? I like it when one is absolutly honest. Like when Dale Sr. said "I just wanted to rattle his cage". How many honest comments come from the mouth of a driver right after a race, when controversy reigns?

It makes you wonder...with Stewart seemingly self-destructing in front of our eyes. Will he ever be able to focus and stay calm enough to win another championship? I personally hope not, but I think if he can start a season with a win at Daytona, he'll be on track to win another championship.

So 'wrong', yet so right!

Lefturn, I'm in the same boat... Tony's one hell of a driver... when he stays focused. But once things start not going his way, his frustration makes him do stupid things. Good example of that is his little to-do with JPM a couple weeks ago.

The guy needs to do some relaxation techniques, meditate, something to cool down. He's letting his emotions take over WAY too much.

Funny thing is he put both of my favorite drivers (Kenseth & Bowyer) in a wreck of some kind last year, yet I don't hate him.

[jks812]

He is a very good driver. It's his attitude that's bad. Of course I think he handled himself pretty good in the interview after the race. He didn't say no where near what I figured he would. And who can blame him for being upset? Most every driver I've seen get wrecked on the last lap is upset and will say something. I don't see where Tony did any different than most other drivers in that situation.

Hey! I remember when Dale said that!
