I think some of the questions the media keeps asking would get on my nerves too – I think Tony just gets tired of answering such mundane questions all the time – he is interviewed all the time and asked the same thing. I think he made it perfectly clear that he was worried about getting his car better – not sitting in a media room – he would rather be doing his job – racing that is what we pay to see.

Get over it!!! We have more importaint things to worry about in NASCAR. At least Tony Stewart is a real man and speaks his mind about the sport and doesn’t candy coat it like the other drivers do for NASCAR and the media!!!!!

The excessive and highly negative coverage devoted to Dale, Jr.’s radio talk with his crew chief might explain why many in the media are not held in high regard in the garage. At the same time, Tony should be polite. Whatever brain-dead media member came up with the demand to “Talk about” XYZ needs to be neutered.

Wade…Stewart did insult Waltrip…but it was a matter of them “trading insults”..Waltrip got alittle too big for his “big boy commentator pants” and had decided he could say whatever he felt to or about Stewart..and Stewart had enough…it was a comment I would think Stewart regretted…and Waltrip should have been ashamed of himself for taking all the liberties he did with his running criticisms of Stewart..but they have more then made up with each other. Waltrip likes to get in everyone’s business while he’s in the announcer’s chair..and he shouldn’t have kept messin’ with Stewart. Waltrip should know if you’re going to publicly blab your endless opinions…you may get a few “opinions” right back at you ….

Well maybe this ownership deal is putting more pressure on Stewart then we know. Maybe the fact he is so tight with his time nowadays has made the endless … and let’s face it..sometimes silly questions just more unbearable then ever for Stewart. If you watch an interview session weekly..they are quite painful…does the media ever watch them? I mean come on guys…I know the answers to alot of the questions asked weekly….over and over and over and over….Maybe some more thought and different directions with the questions might be in order. And Menard and Speed…of course they are going to be thrilled….this is the first time they have been in a position to go to the media events. Hey..by making Stewart cranky you got a column out of it….so there you go!

I remember quite a few years ago when Tony ridiculed Darrel Waltrip on national television.

Apparently he hasn’t changed.

He’s going to regret such behavior one day.

Monte’s piece was great! As is yours. I really thought Tony had mellowed out, but I guess not, at least towards the media. I really don’t understand it since media is what helps propel their sponsors names out there more and more. Without media, who would even know who these cats are? Jeez….
