why does tony stewart avoid racing nonwing 410's but races anything else?
 

he runs midgets, late models, modifieds, and 360 winged sprints, why doesn't he ever run 410 non wings anymore instead of the 360's?? not to mention all the equipment he has sitting around for TSR that he could get in.

Re: why does tony stewart avoid racing nonwing 410's but races anything else?
 

I'd be willing to bet that his deal with Joe Gibbs precludes any 410 racing, both non-winged and winged....

Re: why does tony stewart avoid racing nonwing 410's but races anything else?
 

Tony admits often that the Outlaws are to fast for his liking, but I agree Gibbs has to have him locked on somethings.

Id be willing to bet it DON'T. :)

Chuck, who just knows he'll tell you to your face, ESPN or anyone else whats exacly on his mind and that his heart is with short track racing.

The last time i remember seeing where he ran a 410 was at Oskaloosa in '05. I'm sure he'd love to run them, but he probably just doesn't partly because of Joe Gibbs and probably partly his own choice. However some day he'll more than likely be back in one just like he'll probably run Indy again some day too.

Honestly, I see him taking Home Depot, Chevy and a couple other sponsors and forming his own team for 09. Probably driving the first season on his terms to get the team into the top 35 and then giving that ride to one of his development drivers while going back to what he loves himself

they tip over too easily. with the kind of income potential he still has in the cabs, i think he would be crazy to run w/o a wing (as much as i would like to see it).

Ah, the words of a wise man :respect:
I totally agree.

Re: why does tony stewart avoid racing nonwing 410's but races anything else?
 

Simple. Because he can.

Such things did once exist but not in the past 3 years.

If I remember right Tony never ran many 410s when he was racing Sprints a lot of V6s. He probably owns more 410s than he raced.:action-smiley-049:

Re: why does tony stewart avoid racing nonwing 410's but races anything else?
 

Too much chance of getting hurt and screwing up his day job. I don't think Home Depot and his other sponsors would take the news well that he was injured barrel rolling down the front straightway of Eldora. Non wing sprints seem to do that more than other forms of race cars. Having said that, I think Carl Edwards broke his thumb this year driving a late model, so you never know.

Re: why does tony stewart avoid racing nonwing 410's but races anything else?
 

Midgets are the flippingest (is this a word?) creations I have ever seen, and he races the Chili Bowl every year. Even got hurt here lately doing so. I still think it has a lot more to do with the people writting the checks. They probably look at sprints like most look at crotch rocket motorcycles, but I bet more people are killed on cruisers every year.

Re: why does tony stewart avoid racing nonwing 410's but races anything else?
 

Didn't he take a pretty good lick at a WoO show a year or two ago?

I think a better question would be why doesnt Gordon even get in a midget or a sprint of any kind now? Im just happy to see Stewart have the kind of support for open wheel racing that he does and still gets in them at all.

Re: why does tony stewart avoid racing nonwing 410's but races anything else?
 

It would be nice to see Gordon support USAC with a team.

Flipped hard down the back stretch and got hung up on the wall/fence...Didn't he break his arm and hide it from everyone? :emote20:

How can Tony listen to Joe Gibbs when Joe doesn't even understand a simple rule about coaching football? Hey Joe, you can't call two time outs in a row while trying to put the freeze on the opposing field goal kicker. :headbang:

Re: why does tony stewart avoid racing nonwing 410's but races anything else?
 

Yes, you can, Tim. Joe's mistake was calling a timeout when he had none left. :headbang:

How many rings does he have? LOL

Re: why does tony stewart avoid racing nonwing 410's but races anything else?
 

Tony may be brash and he is fiery, but he has a ton of common sense. My guess is he is hanging out in NASCAR for a couple more years so he can finance his toys for his "retirement".:D
