Bring on the Michelin Man!
Even if you don't like Tony Stewart or, like me, don't necessarily agree with what comes out of his yap-yap mouth sometimes; you have to admit that he's always good for stirring up talk and controversy! (hence why he doesn't drive for Roush, he actually HAS a personality)Post-race yesterday Tony took on those nasty "Good"year tires and the people who make 'em.
“That was the most pathetic excuse for a racing tire I’ve ever been on in my professional career!”
“They exited out of Formula One, they exited out of the IRL, they exited out of the World of Outlaws, and there’s a reason for that and it’s that Goodyear can’t build a tire worth a darn. (although I could've sworn he said damn)
If I were Goodyear, I would be really embarrassed about this weekend and what they brought us. How we got to second, I don’t know."
“If they can’t do any better than that, they ought to exit the sport and save us a lot of headaches. I guarantee you Hoosier, Firestone or somebody else could come in a do a much better job right now.”

I could never understand why NASCAR needs to be exclusive to one tire manufacturer anyway. Teams should be able to use the tire they like, as long as they're within NASCAR's guidelines. Who cares what manufacturer's name is on it??
Must have something do with money filling Brian's pockets....what does he care if he doesn't have to be behind the wheel?

Viva...las cheaters
Step away from the belt sir...Okay....here's the deal.
I like Carl Edwards.
Sometimes, his "oh I'm just happy to be here" demeanor gets a little old but it doesn't strike me as fake. (ala Eskwatch Sadler)
And let's face facts, the guy is ripped and it's nice to have some athletic eye candy out there.
Those issues aside,...I still don't think NASCAR is stepping up as much as they could as far as race winners failing post-race inspection.
They're not consistant. Fair,...yeah, they're getting there but it seems as if they consider who the driver and the team is before dolling out their fines, suspensions, blah, blah, blah.
To me, if you fail post-race inspection..you don't win.
Take away the "trophy", take away the stat. To me, Carl has only won one race this year so far. But what do his stats say? Does it say two? If it does, it shouldn't.
I'm just glad they FINALLY took the 10 bonus points away.
On to another subject. Are there seriously that many Robby Gordon fans?!
People actually signed a petition for that idiot?
Wait,...ya know, I'll bet you anything they offered free bottles of Beam to get folks to do it.
Me and my co-hort met some dudes pimping his sponsors product two years ago and, I'll admit...they have cool gear. But everytime I wear the freebie t-shirt I got people ask me "Do you really like RObby Gordon?!?!" AHHHhhhh...I have to take a brillo-pad to his name. It's getting freakin embarrassing!
