no penalties this time
 

The NAPCAR version of WWE strikes again -- suddenly the "powers that be" down Daytona way have chosen to let Tony's vulgarity-laced tirade go without the penalties the formerly puritanical sanctioning body would have handed out. I seem to remember "Junior" getting socked for letting the four-letter "S" word slip while "live" on TV. I know, I know. Tony's now-famous "interview" had the vulgarity "bleeped" before I turned on the TV to see what my fellow IOWers were posting about. The water bottle throwing and the "punches" thrown were likewise ignored by the Gott (that is a German surmane), I meant France family. Yes, the show will go on.

Funny thing is the Original interview was not bleeped out. it was live as it was happening. I ran my tv back so I could make sure I heard what I thought I had heard. Stewart is a moron plane an simple. Cant wait till someone else says something on TV to see what happens to them. Bet it wont be the same as the Wart got.(nothing):11;

How bad is it when you come across worse that the Busch Brothers? :11;

Re: no penalties this time
 

NASCAR just showed there ignorance and unfair treatment. Tony should have been fined or suspended for that ignorant interview he did on TV. They have proved that it depends who you are on making proper judgements. It is a good thing he didn't say he did not like the new car, that may have cost him $25,000. dollar fine, ask Denny Hamlin.

Re: no penalties this time
 

The day after the race their official website had Stewart and Logano on the front page. Their twitter feed sent out a link to the video of the drama. They can't promote and penalize these guys. I'm not surprised they didn't fine them. Wrecks and fights = ratings. NASCAR likes getting these ratings.

Maybe they shouldn't put a camera and microphone in his face. JMO

What do you expect when you stick a mic in the guys face and ask what upset him when its pretty dang obvious... the media doesnt help theirselves IMO

BTW I hope Tony whips the crap out of that little cry baby, racing on my dadies money, never worked a day in his life piece of crap!

What's more disturbing is I havnt heard anything about how Denny Hamlin is doing.
Ive heard news about this dumb interview and the fight more than the health of a race driver. Goes to show you where our priorities are as a society.
And only because I looked it up did I find who actually won the dag gone race.

"Hamlin suffered a L1 Compression Fracture following an accident on the final lap of Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway.

"Hamlin hopes to be released today to fly to his home in North Carolina where he will be evaluated by Dr. Jerry Petty of Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates later this week."

I agree with the move on NASCAR's part. If a fine should be handed out. It should go to the reporters that get into Tony's face seconds after the encounter.

I am a huge Stewat fan, but this makes no sense.

Tony should have been fined for his actions after the race. He ran into a car on pit road, tried to get into a fight on pit road, and then had a crazed rant to a reporter.

BTW. I thought Joey should have been fined for his bone head move on the last lap and then stating that Denny "got what he deserved" Every once in a while, you need to punish stupidity and Joey's comment was about as stupid as it gets.

Re: no penalties this time
 

I think NASCAR needed all this as bad as the racing has been. No one would be talking this week. I did not see Daytona except the last 15 laps or California, but Phoenix and Vegas were bad.

Re: no penalties this time
 

NASCAR will continue to have these problems until they take action against blocking. The lead car needs to choose a line and hold it. It's up to the trailers to figure out how to pass. Never could figure out why this is commonly understood in open wheel and commonly ignored with the taxi cabs. Credit goes to Indy Car series for consistent rules on this topic.

They either need to take the mirrors out and or have one way raceceivers to the officials only.

Re: no penalties this time
 

im gonna ASSUME the reason tony didnt get fined for what he said was cause it wasnt dissin nascar.
and in the words of the immortal AJ and semi immortal terry mc carl....."what do you think happened....he hit my godda** car"......both on LIVE TV and not a word was said....and i can remember tony at indy on live TV saying something to the effect that "we run good all day and end up like chit".....again, nothing more said.
the sad part is that if you have never been in a racecar and had something anger you, you could never understand the adrenalin that is racing thru you and the amount of anger it produces.
im glad i was able to see races where men were men and lawyers didnt scare everyone into submission.

Maybe some of these drivers should learn they are professionals. Evidently Stewart forgot everything he learned in his Angry Management classes.

To quote a little bit of ELP.

" Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend
Come inside! Come inside!"

Re: no penalties this time
 

As far as watching Nascar, I catch the first 10 or so laps and the last 10. Thats the only time they actually "race". Logano's block was not dirty, he had no intentions on wrecking anyone on the restart Stewart was angry about. If any one person on this site can honestly say in that exact situation that they would have let Tony(and who knows how many others) go by, you should find a new website and hobby to follow. When he doored Hamlin that was Logano's fault, he had no chance of staying off of him when he got back in the gas that early, but as someone else mentioned Hamlin didn't wreck until Logano was almost all the by him and he turned left into Logano's RR. It's very unfortunate that Denny got hurt and I hope he makes a full recovery and gets back in the seat at some point in the very near future. But who are we kidding, Stewart made a bonehead move going after Joey, I mean he finished 22nd, he had no shot of winning anyway. Joey made a bonehead remark in saying Denny got what he deserved. The end.

As old friend Sammy Packard once said, "of NASCAR races, you watch the first lap and you watch the last lap and you've seen it all." :deadhorse::22:

Re: no penalties this time
 

Sorry guys but I see nothing wrong with anything that any of them did! Reporters ask stupid questions and get a rise out of those guys when they go off and thats there job. Tony going after Joey nothing wrong with that if somebody blocked me I would be pissed as well and he's lucky Tony didn't just run his butt over!! Because I would have. And Joey and Denny rubbing and beating and banging thats racing but you saw what the cost is. They neither one won the race. Denny ended up out for 6 weeks or more. Like we all know its all about ratings and Nascar ratings have been down so now that guys are duking it out a little they are ok with it and so am I! But as most of us know as well as we call it Napcar or Nascrap the only thing thats really good about watching the races on TV is the end of the race anyway and what might happen after! So really guys lets put an end to talking about and lets talk about some sprint car racing. Oh dang it the same stuff happens in that racing to. But at least the racing is more exciting! Bring on the No Way Out 40!!

Re: no penalties this time
 

ya fine him 25000 bucks that will teach him lol. that would be like taking our lunch money. tony does alot of charity work money is not important to tony or nascar. bottom line is its racing and entertainment and who gives a rats bass. its just funny roll with it life has bigger problems:5:

Re: no penalties this time
 

It is a shame that Tony can't punch like a certain guy I know who "starred" in one of D O's videos, ringing some guy's bell while the "victim" was still seated in his car with his helmet on. That driver who received the "Jack Hewitt style lesson" has to have had a sore neck after the way his head got snapped around not once, but twice by the driver who was sending a message.:D:3::5::6::8::9:
Looking forward to see the driver (who should train Tony) again soon, but I sure hope he does not have a similar reason to be giving lessons any more !!
