Hard to get tracks to pay more money when drivers bad mouth tracks when they run poorly. How many Outlaw drivers have you ever heard said a track is trying to kill somebody? Especially days after another fatality? If this was a one time deal, it probably wouldn't have been that big of a deal. Robert has had a bad year, and being a team owner/driver, that's a lot of pressure. If drivers have a problem with a track a way to fix it is as a group to officials and offer a suggestion. I have seen this work. As for improved track conditions last weekend being because of Robert, that is insane. That has been a work in progress since Stewart bought it. They have tried more than just running a sheeps foot over rubbered down track, and many have not been successful.
For those of you who want to use Robert as a martyr, You probably have done more to hurt him than help him.
