Slip of the tounge could cost him dearly in the Nextel Cup Series points standings.

Stewart's 'BS' slip UPDATE: yes #20-Tony Stewart said 'BS' in his post race interview on ESPN [Cable..not network], NO word when/if Stewart will be fined and/or penalized by NASCAR, in 2004, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was penalized for dropping the 'S' bomb on network [NBC] TV after winning and was fined $10k and 25 drivers/owners points. If penalized, it would be announced on Tuesday.(7-29-2007)
UPDATE: Tony Stewart, excited over winning at the track he cherishes more than any other, got a little carried away in his postrace interview. The expletive he uttered could cost him a penalty later this week. Stewart was celebrating his second win the Allstate 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Sunday when he uttered the obscenity on ESPN. While NASCAR officials would later say they thought there was a network delay protecting the driver, ESPN officials said delays are only used on replays of radio conversations, not live victory lane interviews. "It was an unfortunate incident that we did not anticipate," said ESPN officials in a statement. NASCAR officials said they will address the issue at the beginning of the week. Vice President Jim Hunter said there could be a penalty or a loss of points. He also said that NASCAR would talk to ESPN officials.(SceneDaily.com)(7-30-2007)

double :yeahthat: he is 600 or so ahead of 12th place with only 6 races to go.
Stranger things have happened :shrug:

Remember, the Chase is seeded by number of bonus points for wins, so Stewart would be 3rd (behind Jimmie anjd Jeff). I don't think there have been any other repeat winners.

I wonder if Junyer's going to finish the season at DEI.

Dale Jarrett needs to decide whether he's a driver or commentator.

Michael Waltrip needs to fire himself.

I thought that ALL live broadcasts were on a delay to prevent "Boobgate II"? If regular network TV has to do it why shouldn't ESPN? Oh that's right...money.:doh:

Stewart can kiss 25 points goodbye.


NASCAR announced that Tony Stewart has been fined $25,000 and penalized 25 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series driver championship points, as a result of using inappropriate language during a post-race televised interview following his victory Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Stewart, driver of the No. 20 Chevrolet, retains his fifth-place standing in the series points, with his total points reduced to 2,599.

Stewart violated Section 12-4-A of the series rule book (actions detrimental to stock car racing) by using the inappropriate language.

In addition, Stewart’s car owner, Joe Gibbs, has been penalized 25 car owner championship points because of the infraction.


That'll lern em' :lmao: What a joke. BS fine for a BS infraction. Why bother. :bigwhoop:

I'm surprised Harvick wasn't penalized for his postrace love tap.

Anyone else think ESPN intentionally let the words through on purpose so they can extend their feud with Tony?

I like the commercial where Michael is reading letters to him raggin on his performance.

The last letter is from Mr. Na Pa :lmao:

I couldn't stop laughing at that commercial! "Yes, I realize turn 3 is not a school zone". :killingme


The best one though is the guy asking Mark for an autograph and Mark sees the "vintage" picture of himself on the guys shirt. Too cute!
