Stewart Claims Racin' is Like Rastlin'

Rick Nyman's picture

 During his weekly radio show on Tuesday, driver Tony Stewart compared NASCAR to
professional wrestling.  NASCAR may not have feather boas, but Stewart says they're
fixing races, just like pro wrestling.   He claims NASCAR is throwing bogus caution flags
for alleged debris on the track.  During last Saturday's race at Phoenix, there
were four caution flags for debris.
  Does Stewart really believe NASCAR is fixing races, or is this just another case of
sour grapes from Stewart.   He hasn't made it to victory lane
this season.  In 2006 at Daytona, Stewart lashed out about bump-drafting.
NASCAR took Stewart's complaint under consideration, but then Stewart
was cited for rough driving during the Daytona 500 after bumping Matt Kenseth.
  Will NASCAR take Stewart's latest complaint under consideration, or will
Stewart face a steep penalty?


I agree with Tony

Hendrick Motorsports gets waaaay too many "opportune" yellow flags when they're trying to catch the leader or are in the Lucky Dog position. Last year Jeff Gordon was leading late in the race and there was debris on the track, but not in the line itself. No yellow. Had Gordon been playing catch-up, a buuble gum wrapper on the track would have brought out a yellow. Who remembers several years ago at Bristol when Dale Earnhardt and Dale Jarrett changed all four tires yet Gordon changed only his two outside tires in order to be right behind them, then went around both like he was on rails. Experts said that Gordon's crew had put a substance on the two tires that was illegal (one racer got a six-month suspension last year for doing the same thing), yet nothing was done, since Gordon is part of the Hendrick team. As everyone knows, if it weren't for Hendrick Motorsports, the Earth would stop spinning on its axis and crash into the Sun, burnt to a cinder. Holy Hendrick Motorsports is bowed down to so much by NASCAR that it's almost obscene.
