Why me??
I disagree. He still would've said something if he won. I remember him winning a race and using his victory lane interview to bad mouth Pontiac one time.
Gibbs announced that week that they were switching the Chevy.
Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt and Rusty Wallace, and sometime Mark Martin are the only ones who aren't afraid to hold back and tell us what's on their mind.
Dale's dead, and Rusty's retired. That leaves Tony, Kevin and Mark.
I loved the one time Tony kirked out about NASCAR having a 45 minute caution under practice to "pick up the debris on the apron that nobody races on anyway" and how they "screwed us out of an hour and a half of practice." He went on: "Maybe since Brian France is making billions of dollars, he should pay to have a few spotters around the racetrack to look for debris."
Then he went off on Chris Powell at Las Vegas, "I don't know that Chris Powell has an engineering degree or knows how to build a racetrack."
I love it when Tony opens his mouth and tells it like it is.
I am so with you!!!! I LOVE it when Tony says what is on his mind, he doesn't care........LOVE IT!!!

- Andy) We had no tire failures and no problems with heat or wear. We supplied the same tires for both the NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races, and received zero complaints about our tires after the Nationwide race on Saturday.
- Andy) NASCAR president Mike Helton told us Monday that "NASCAR is very grateful for the commitment Goodyear has made on behalf of building a good and safe product for our competitors, including this past weekend at Atlanta. NASCAR stands by our relationship and is proud to have Goodyear as a partner."
statement - Andy) Now that we know how this tire combination performed, we’ll go back and retest for the fall race. (Is Tony invited? 
- Andy) We have the same goal as the drivers and NASCAR: to put the safest, best performing tires on these cars. (when have these tires been safe? Vegas? California? Darlington? This happens every other race it seems. 
- Andy)
- Andy) That makes it tougher than usual to get a read on how the tires will perform. But if there is ever any doubt about the recommendation, we will always err on the conservative side.
- Andy) At least one other tiremaker has done the same. For Goodyear, the enormous investment required to compete in those other forms of racing far outweighed the benefits derived from our participation. We see tremendous benefits in our 54-year relationship with NASCAR as the organization’s longest continuing supplier. We remain fully committed to, and are proud of, our relationship with NASCAR.
