The NASCAR powers that be have struck again. This time it was Tony Stewart they hit. Last time it was Dale JR..
They are as overly sensitive to a little cuss word as the powers that be in charge of yahoo answers are.
When you interview someone who has just won a major race, like Tony and Dale JR had done, you have to expect them to be pumped up. Neither one of them were swearing at anyone They just used a word that 90% of the population uses in everyday conversations.
They say Tony used language detrimental to stock car racing. How could that be detrimental to stock car racing?This sport was the creation of old moonshine runners not chior boys.
So I ask you people from all around yahoo answers.
Would you stop watching your favorite sport,(no matter what sport that is), just because one of the stars of that sport cussed in TV?
I think someone needs to stop the sissyfication of NASCAR before France makes the official color PINK and puts frilly lace on the drivers uniforms.

You know what I just thought of on Sunday when I was watching his interview after the Brickyard 400? You know how people are always making fun of NASCAR fans and drivers because you can't understand a thing that they are saying during interviews, yet the fans understand them completely. Well the funny thing is, while listening to Montoya's interview it came to mind, that this guy is like a mix between the hardest driver to understand and trying to make an order in the drive through at Taco Bell. I swear I'm not racist, but with his accent and everything, I swear I crack up every time I think of that interview LOL!!! What do you guys think?

You know I'll admit I'm not his biggest fan but I have always liked him whether he be racing in the #6 Viagra or #01 Army (liked that move). The thing that has me confused is why race if you just don't care anymore? Mark was within inches of winning the Daytona 500 and was the points leader but doesn't want to race a full schedule so he soon lost his spot at the top. Martin is a good driver and usually pretty consistent whether he be finishing in top 5 or 10 and I think he actually could have possibly done something in 1st place had he decided to race a full schedule. So my question to you guys is, if he's losing the "drive" to race... shouldn't he just retire completely and let somebody else step up and take over Army 01?

First penalties for insedental words. so be it but look at the history no more racing back to the flag hello racing then they give the lucky duck yes that looks like racing and I could go on and on were is my Nascar of 5 years ago were they started there cars smashed metal getting all there anger out , out on the track and had a beer in the pits after the race. I think Nascar needs to go back to its roots and there fan base will explode again thats just my 2 cents worth...

I just don't understand how Nascar can fine Jr. $100,000 and 100 points for saying something on T.V. but then Stewart goes on T.V. Sunday and says the same thing and so far there has been NOTHING from Nascar.

I have not had much of a chance to watch t.v. since the race. Has Tony been fined for saying the "bad" word? How about Harvick for the "kiss" he gave Tony's car? Thanks

I've maintained for years that Tony Stewart is the best self motivator Nascar has ever seen.He will rip teammates,media,other drivers and Nascar as a whole.In his quest to light a fire under himself.He's great at it,But heres the rub,while Tony can afford the fine and points Nascar will undoubtably hand out soon and it won't bother him at all.What happens when the chase begins and losing points will bother him,whats he going to do to motivate himself? Can Tony win without the chaos he invokes? I have my doubts,whats your take?

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR announced Tuesday that Tony Stewart has been fined $25,000 and penalized 25 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.

If anyone else does anything like he did during his interview Sunday, every column talks and talks about it. I mean a slip of the tongue from Kyle Petty who had an open mic made every column. This idiot knew that people were listening...INCLUDING YOUNG CHILDREN and still chose the wrong word to use! NASCAR you need to reign this fool in a little! WAY TO BE A ROLE MODEL TONY!
