Tony Stewart Driving a Camry?

I pretty much consider Kenseth as my number one guy to root for carrying the Roush torch, but like Edwards and Stewart just as much. Stewart is definitely the best driver in Nascar. Not fond of the change on Gibbs part to just go for the fattest paycheck, the man could never spend the money he has now-boo on him. And I'm a die-hard Redskin's fan to boot. As bad as that is, I really feel sorry for whomever drives the 8 next year.
As many years as I have watched nascar, letting toyota simply buy its way into the sport in 2-3 years is going to pretty much end it for me. They already spend way more then all of the other 3 makes combined and can't get more then 1 car on the lead lap at the end of the race, and their two biggest names take turns each week spending the race in the commentary booth. Not to mention the stupid **** with not letting Burton run his sponsor's decals on the car.

I still do not believe Tony will go quietly into the night. He wants to WIN. Period. Toyota will not win. Picture this: Henricks pulls THE coupdegrace in NASCAR: Johnson, Gordon, JR, and Stewart!! Although Stewarts contract with JGR runs through 09. His personal support of Chevrolet Racing, through TonyStewartMotorSports, will rule the day. The season may start off with him still under JGR, but I bet there are garage deals spinning now, and will right into the next season. Toyota can though all the money it wants at NASCAR. Hasn't helped yet, and I doubt very much if it will for a long long time. If the machine can't even qualify regularly, Stewart will break his contract. On another note, I'm glad Michael was finally able to get out of that wrecked car unscaved, but I was soo happy to see a Toasted Toyota!!

I don't really root for any of the Ford guys. I have ceased my rooting for Roush since he aligned himself with the mortal enemy, the Boston Red Sox. I have never really cared about any of the other Ford teams. I guess I just root for the best drivers now, Jeff Gordon and Juan Pablo.I can't root for Stewart because he's just such a douche bag. And now he drives a Toyota...ouch.

How can anyone root for Montoya?
He wrecks his car pretty much every race. And what's even worse, he wrecks other people cars.

And here is my crystal ball for 2008, if Jr doesn't make the chase, next year it will be the top 12 and Jr. Where ever he is just make all the "fans" Happy.
I cannot believe my ears anymore. I wonder Kevin how much they get paid in the booth for saying drivers names and how much NASCAR gets for showing "certain" numbers. Bias commentators??? Caertainly not in NASCAR.

Montoya is learning and he's no Kyle Bush when it comes to maliciously wrecking cars. He's technically a rookie, but doesn't really wreck every race, running in the mid-pack gets you stuck in a lot of them though. Its not like Ragen where he spins in the same spot multiple times in every other race. The guy who is the worst about wrecking cars is Newman, he's got to make a team owner completely insane. Takes poles, runs up front, leads a few laps, and wrecks-repeat and rinse over and over.

"I'm sure your 83 Corolla SR5 is 'wicked fast' but we are going to stay with the camry" or something like that... When MW DOES qualify for a race though, he is notorious for racing very hard against the leaders even being several laps down for some good promo footage.

Sorry, Kevin, I respect driver skill but I can't stand Stewart. He's a whiney little so-and-so that throws a little kid fit every time he's the least bit unsettled. Dude, you're a champion and a threat to win every weekend, don't go crapping on the Rookie that you wrecked on just becuase he wouldn't get out of your way in the middle of the corner. Show some patience and some class, jerk.

Hey Ford Boys,
FYI. I happen to like the 60's mustangs, and I like the new ones as well. I'm not here to bash Fords. Free country, drive what you like. I just think that Toyota has a place in Nascar. What the hell why not. As for not winning, they do pretty well with the trucks. Only a matter of time before they catch up with Hendricks in cup. ("Speaking of throwing a lot of money at things.") You put any one of the other drivers in a Hendricks machine and they will run up front. At this level of racing, there aren't many slackers, only inferior equipment. I believe the addition of another manufacturer will only make the sport better, improve competitiion. I'm not a Toyota fan, but I am a Stewart fan. Sure the guy shoots his mouth off, big deal, he can back it up with his driving. He's the guy that will say what he feels, not what the sponsers and Nascar wants him to say. He's always entertaining. Out of the box and not someone's puppet. You don't have to like him, but you have to respect his honesty. I don't care what he drives, I like his style. I wonder what you guys would have said if Little E went to Toyota? I think this whole thread would have gone in another direction.
Enjoy the Chase boys

Or this year's Pepsi 400 at Daytona when he crashed into his teammate Denny Hamlin? And how he blamed Hamlin for everything; he even said that Hamlin tried to wreck him a day before at practice?
Next to Montoya, I hate Stewart the most of all NASCAR drivers. But now I have one more reason to hate him: he's driving Toyota.

You guys are hilarious. There isn't one driver in that league that hasn't done or said something stupid over their careers. They get a mic shoved in their face before they've had a chance to think about what happened. Sweet on Zippy, eh? Never thought about Tony and Zippy that way, but I guess it takes one to know one.
