Tony Stweart's "disappointing comments"

I have to agree with him . http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/6738464 . The debris on the track cautions are getting out of hand . Other decisions also show obvious favoritism . Others share this opinion. http://www.racingmilestones.com/Opin...ArticleID=3746

I have to agree with Stewart, as much as I hate to say it. Its the reason I havent watched a race this year. Everyone seems to be proud of all the record number of cautions. Remember the years when they could run entire races with no cautions, granted that was before restricter plates too.

NASCAR is becoming IROC. It is beginning to look alot like WWF.

I agree with him, and us as television viewers don't realize that they are throwing so many cautions, because they do it during commercial breaks, and I don't think he's letting his fame get to his head, he drove a lot of lesser popular series of races before Nascar.

Why? Because Jeff Gordon won and broke Dale's record.

I thought it was pretty good except for the finish, but you can't blame NASCAR for that.

It was ironic that Tony Stewart made up a lap because of a debris caution.

Dale aside, I have not liked Gordon form his rookie year. Its not just him, there are a few that I could care less about.

As much as I hate to say it, Tony's right its obvious they throw cautions and show favoritism...Ive been going to Vegas the past 5 years and guess what, out comes a BS caution that helps whoelse but Jimmie Johnson win the edited by admin thing, its obvious to all in attendance...as much as I like goin to the races Im seriously considering not going anymore because I know wholl win before the race starts...its always Johnson

Agreed. Went to the truck race at the Kansas Speedway yesterday. It was awesome, also got to see the IRL qualifying before the truck race. 214 mph got the pole, WOW, those things can flat scoot. I like the trucks because they beat on each other more and it reminds me of Saturday night racing at the local tracks. Very cool!
