fyrfytersabre79,
Tony was caught no fewer than 3 times flippin' the bird on camera and nothing was done by Nascar, today, Montoya was fined for doing the same thing, UNFAIR ? Yes, and Stewart has received his share of favoritism

Edd S,
I didn't say you had to "bash" Tony. I asked:read the atricle and make your opinion on the article and if he is being whiney....NOT bash him or other drivers.
At least SOME people understood my question.
Go ask the woodpecker his opinion, he'll understand the question better...lol

BG,
Goes to show how people judge others.
I to am a #20 fan, but you judged me because of a question. I think your judgemental attitude shows you are the one with immaturity problems.

Wow, that is sure to get NASCAR's attention. After just getting talked to about leaving the track early after Phoenix I think they will have a MUCH more serious chat about Tony's latest allegations. He thinks he is untouchable and can say whatever he wants but I will tell you the Frances and Mike Helton will not tolerate those types of comments very long. If he keeps that kind of talk up he may not have to worry about retiring because they will kick him out of NASCAR. If he hates it that much and thinks it's fixed he should just shut his pie hole and leave now. I knew he was a whiner but this kind of takes the cake. Tony IS the biggest whiner in NASCAR, it's official. Who whined about the hard tires, other drivers, the COT and now the officials? Tony "I'm going to take my marbles and go home" Stewart, that's who.
I guess I was right, they didn't put up with his whiny crap. Quit yapping your big mouth or just quit NASCAR and find some "better" series to run Tony.

Don't blame Tony(or any other driver for that matter) but put the blame on the causes"NASCAR and Fans."Yes I said fans,those of us that shell out several hundred dollars every time we go to an event.
NASCAR wants to please the fan so they make and change rules and the frustration grows until drivers do something like Tony and walk off.
I have read 3 different articles about what happened at Phoenix and I can agree with Tony.NASCAR is is using too many debris cautions.Yes debris is dangerous but when it is not on the racing surface but on the track apron.
I pay my money to watch a race not to see a caution flag that bunches up the field and lets the 3 or 4 car make a pass then a bunch of drunks start swearing about the way this driver passed 3 or 4 cars to win,BULL COOKIES! he could not have done it without the caution..
Let the drivers race.Stop the bull with the phantom debris cautions.

No. Stewart has had a crap season. He's a very outspoken guy. Sometimes I wish he'd just shut up. He typically runs mediocre at the beginning of a season and picks it up the second half. But, this year he has had the car to beat and has been a force to reckon with and WHAM. So, I think he's just being Stewart and the media is focusing on it more. People who don't follow NASCAR week in and week out, or people who only watch the ESPN highlights, don't understand the personalities of the drivers. Stewart isn't any worse this year than he has been in the past. Kyle Busch is the biggest whiner in NASCAR. And, before you yell at me, that wasn't a bash - it's the truth. Go back to your ESPN highlights if you don't believe me.

I'm not going to say whiner but I think he's complaining a bit much about the flags. He hasn't won a race yet and he's lead the most laps so far and I think it's frustration. Other drivers are getting hit with the same flags during the race and they aren't making much of it. If a caution flag comes out near the end of the race and he comes from behind to win he won't complain. Sometimes drivers say they see debris on the track and Nascar agrees because the safety of the drivers come first. Tony is one of the most popular drivers out there and for him to say Nascar is playing favorites is wrong. They want him to be in the chase every year because that's what the fan want. Whiner no! Frustrated yes!

Before a race he's acting his age, but after the race whenever he doesn't win or if he crashes he turns into a little 5 year old. He'll start bad mouthing other drivers or the People who are involved with Nascar. You know what I just read that article and its like how can someone who has won two championship, won 29 races, and made a lot about money, be such a jerk. That caution was not deliberate, that was a crash. I don't like Jeff Gordon, and I hate all of the people associated with the 24 team, but I am happy that Jeff won, tying with Dale Earnhardt meant a lot to him, and he honored Dale Earnhardt when he won, would Stewert have done that? My answer is no he wouldn't.

I absolutely agreed with everything Tony said, and I never thought he was a whiner. I think Tony's struggling with the fact he hasn't won anything yet, and his frustration is starting to show. It's only natural. I mean, the man has won two championships in NEXTEL cup, and he doesn't want other drivers to easily just beat him at every single race. I feel horrible for him, as he is my favorite driver, and I hope he wins soon. His comments were not so bad...I actually agreed with them. I would be lying if I said Tony has never gotton out of line, but I can say that he is really trying a lot harder than he used to, and I'm proud of him. He just needs a win to bring his spirits back up where they belong. Tony is a champion, and he just wants to win a few races to help him remember that!

I don't think he is the biggest whiner per se, he is just more vocal about what he thinks, rather than hiding it like others do. And truthfully, I think that that is what NASCAR needs, considering the drivers are starting to sound a lot like they are a tape recorder playing back the same responses as everyone else, week after week. I'm not saying that this is all bad, but it is nice to have a little variety once in a while, though.

How can people complain that he said he thinks its a fake caution? How often can they not find the debris on tv? It happens all the time or it will be way off the racing line where nobody goes. There are hundreds of posts on Y!A about how NASCAR seems to throw mystery cautions to bunch up the field. They pop up after almost every race on how Gordon, Johnson, or Jr got a caution right when they needed it. Stewart can stay stupid things but he also says what he thinks even if its not what NASCAR wants to hear.

Stewart has never whined approximately something.That sphincter Johnsonhole cut back him off and positioned him into the wall.later on all he reported grew to become into that Jimmie might desire to left him somewhat extra area.i does not evaluate that "whining." After in simple terms having a win stolen from him via yet another of NASCAR's known phantom cautions i might have envisioned him to be so plenty greater offended than that.Jimmie Johnsonhole is a a vermin and a fart sack,i'm hoping he gets in a airplane crash.

So, you made a post basically to bash Tony Stewart, but you're getting upset because someone brings up another driver who truely is a whiner? That seems a little hypocritical and childish. But my thought on Tony is this, you people need to learn the difference between people who whine about everything, and people who just simply tell it like it is and aren't afraid of NASCAR or anybody else, and speak truth. I like Tony for the simple fact he doesn't care what anybody thinks, he tells it like it is and guess what, he's usually right.
