He's starting to fill the void that Dale Sr. left when he died... He's got the talent, now he's working on the intimidation.

It's nice to see someone finally step up and be the bad-ass that NASCAR needs to stay interesting.

That's nothing. You should have followed him back in '95 when he won the USAC triple crown. He was NOT going to be denied.

NASCAR is a business NOT a sport

I have friends that ran NASCAR and Grand American in the 60's, they won't even watch it on TV

Tony Stewart should have been penalized more than going to the longest line for running Kenseth into the grass. Good Thing Tony is worried about somebody being killed. He almost did it himself. :rolleyes:

Damn True 02-20-2006 11:17 AM

That's what I'm sayin.

The original incident between Stewart and Kenseth happend on lap 20. Of course Kenseth claims it was unintentional and Stewart claims it was intentional, in any case there was no actual contact.

If something had actually happened wouldn't the adult thing, the VETERAN thing to have been to send the word up to NASCAR and let them deal with it?

Instead, Stewart retaliated, 150 laps later mind you, by blatantly punting Kenseth into the grass on the tri-oval (at nearly 190mph).

A punk-a$$ thing to do IMO.

As for the comparision to Dale Sr.......I have never been a #3 fan, but Stewart couldn't hold Earnhardts jock.
Earnhardt may have used the "chrome horn" quite often to bump another car, and he may have intentionally placed his car next to another in such a way as to make another driver loose, but it was always for position.
He VERY rarely wrecked another driver, and when he did invariably he would apologize for doing so rather than saying "he deserved it" or some other childish payback BS.

I found the whole thine particularly odd in light of Stewarts comments earlier in the week about "aggresive" driving etc. Apparently he thinks that standard applies to everyone BUT him.

I agree with your comments about tony but, did you just say that Earnhardt very rarely wrecked another driver? :rofl: Are you talking about the late Dale Earnhardt?

I have a feeling that once post race inspection is over, there won't be a single piece that has not been unbolted from the chassis just to make SURE they did not miss anything Knauss might have done they did not catch the first time.

Yeah...Dale Sr. wrecked alot of cars..some for wins and some for grins. :rofl: I liked Dale Sr personality but didnt like his driving style. In regards to Stewart I like niether his driving or his pesonality. I think he went back to the ol' Tony from a few years ago. I nominate Tony as the "new" Kurt Busch not new Dale Sr. :eek:Stewart is a bully..plain and simple.

XcYZ 02-20-2006 12:46 PM

At least Stewart can back up his attitude with results... however... that punk Kyle Busch needs to be shown the fence.
