Hmmm...makes you wonder. If the phantom cautions don’t exist, then why can’t they just prove all of us fans wrong? Hmmm…makes you wonder.

Go find one then. They're all sell-outs, and I'm glad there's drivers like Tony with enough balls to speak their mind instead of allowing themselves to get walked all over. Nascar's becoming a joke, and Brian France and Mike Helton are too stupid to turn it back around. ‘There are thousands of talented race drivers out there who would

No Doubt. Electronic scoring is off also look at the loops on TV during qualifying and compare it to the tracks. They determine where they want drivers to start the race. Waltrip got himself in trouble and now he misses every race by 2 tenths. I by no means pay money to watch Nascar races live anymore, its terrible and by looking at the empty seats at the tracks Im not the only 1! Car of Tomorrow? Just anothe reason for the teams to spend their sponsorship money because NASCAR cant get a greedy finger on that money make them spend it. Manipulation definetly!! No Question!! When Nascar feels they have been made a fool of they have the POWER to determine the outcome. What a Joke. They are theives, sneaks, and liars. Its not fun to watch anymore.

That's the bottom line. I agree though, been alot of cautions and I'll be damned if I see debris. Fox used all of their cameras to find and all they could find was tape & plastic. Let' em race! As for Tony walkin' away...NASCAR is the only sport that allows TV crews to shove a camera in the "losing" teams face right after the "game". The NBA, MLB, NFL and the NHL don't do that. These players are allowed to leave the field, go to their locker room and cool down, before the press begins their feeding frenzy. I think that's where alot of racers who are accused of "whining" comes from...in the heat of battle sometimes you say stuff, that later you say..Damn that was stupid! I know I have... Not a huge fan of Tony, but honestly, he can drive the hell out of anything he's in. But if he got away from those baracudas..good for him. And I work in television! If he can prove it bring it on.

The guy is a competitor and wants to win, but to me, he went about this the wrong way. I'm happy he has fans that support him through thick and thin. Kudos for you guys.

Let them go to their haulers, shower, change clothes and then if they want to talk, let them. I don;t see mics being shoved in the faces of baseball,basketball,football players.

I have followed Tony all thru his open wheel days. He is a very talented driver, has a temper, does anyone remember A.J. Foyt? Greatest driver of all time, more talent then anyone ever, 'cept Tony is following in his shoes, champions are driven to WIN, and they drive to win, isn;t that the name of the game? why the hell race if you aren;t racing to win? this politically correct crap has got to go, LETS GO BACK TO RACING LIKE IT SHOULD BE, RACE TO WIN. P.S.

If the fans perceive a problem then they need to prove to us that there isn't one. Especially when a two time champion is saying something. This is a battle they can't when if they are going to play denial games. NASCAR officials need to wake up. If the fans perceive a problem then they need to prove to us that there isn’t one.

He reminds me of my 10 year old cousin. He cannot take the blaim himself, it is always someone else's fault. He is so big-headed too, I cannot stand him at all. It would be best for the world of Nascar if Stewart just retired and moved to a deserted island all by himself. I think that Stewart needs to grow up and deal with what is thrown his way.

Seems NASCAR didn't think twice about what he did and just said there's the door Tony. Well I guess him not interviewing and complaining about it in his talk radio did allot.
