Yah, I had a good feeling that he meant to do it. I didn't want to come out and say it though.
I'm not sure if Matt started it or not? It's a race.
Tony retailiated though, and was penalized for it. Nothing more will probably come of it from Nascar.
Kenseth may remember this incident for the rest of the year however, so we may be able to say, to be continued.......
It looks like Kyle Busch may look for on opportunity to get Tony as well. We'll wait and see at what level his maturity is actually at in how he respnds to Tony's criticism of the little Busch.

Tony Stewart was driving like a crackhead yesterday. Like he had an attitude and chip on his shoulder and he was out to prove he was a tough guy. What was his problem?
There's a big difference between driving with passion and driving with stupidity, and Stewart crossed that line.
I liked what I saw from Dale Jr. He took a gamble at the end. It didn't pay, but he tried and he showed some heart and some life. After the race he had a good attitude and seemed very encouraged. Maybe he's turned the corner... we'll see...

IMO? Mark made a lot of personal sacrifice to get Roush up to 5 teams...
however? that's not an excuse for never winning the championship... he has just had terrible success at restrictor plate tracks... after watching him race at them for ten years or so? i have come to the conclusion that he just isn't willing to put somebody in the wall to win at a "plate track" and that is what it take safter all....

Tony of course. Biffle, K.Busch, Kenseth, Edwards, Martin, and Johnson.
Rousch Racing cars have been strong in practice all weekend. There's about 5 dominate cars that broke 183 mph during the practice sessions and qualifying, so we'll see what happens.

is Hamlin spinning trying to get Tony back on the lead lap? can't beleive Nascar didn't throw a caution on that.... if this race goe green the rest of the way? i don't think Tony will be on the lead lap... he's outa sequence, it'll be close, i think he's like three laps outside the window...

Something's definitely up with Stewart. I would say he was on his man-period, but it's been two weeks in a row of his antics.
I wonder what's he so angry about? If he can't run with the big boys, it's time to step back down to IRL where it's OK to be a prick.

Not too sure about anything wrong he may have done in California? He raced clean all day.
His car slid up the track a few times exiting the corners, which is normal in racing. He saved it a couple of times from brushing a couple other drivers.
He was out of line in Daytona for sure, and was penalized accordingly by Nascar. Matt was as well for bumping into Tony in retaliation in Daytona after leaving the pits.
What made you upset at him after this week TS?

Sorry, I wasn't too clear... I was referring to some hostility towards the media pre/post race.
He did run clean yesterday, but he seemed angry with the media. And the media was playing on that...
Dale Jr. impressed me again this week. If he can maintain the positivity and balance, he'll have a great season.
Waltrip's true colors are coming out. By that I mean he's no longer with a top-notch team that's giving him top-notch equipment and it's showing in the standings...

I thought he was smart for mentioning that he wasn't going to talk to the media about Daytona.
It would have only made things worse if he had opened his mouth about it.
The media does whatever it can to stir up a ruckus, it's their lifelong duties pretty much anymore it seems, and especially when there is controversy. They tend to fan the flame. ---------------------------------------------
The rookie of the year battle this year will be very interesting. There's a lot of good young talent that just may end up in the chase for the cup come end of year.

The more races Kenseth wins this year, and in the future, the better it is for me. I have an autographed card of him from his rookie year that's a limited edition. It may actually be worth a few hundred by now, who knows?
It's been put away for a few years now and I have no idea what it may be worth. At that time it was worth $125, but I haven't a clue where it's at now. I may just have to dig it out and look up the value sometime.
