Tony left Menard for Gibbs. I believe there was some sort of lawsuit filed by Menard due to some Menard/Home depot legal contractual stuff. Larry Curry subsequently went to prison for selling Menard owned IRL equipment and keeping the money. An auction of Curry owned personal possessions (championship rings, etc...) was held to offset money owed Menard. Stewart purchased many of these items and returned them to his friend Curry. With me so far?
Fast forward to the present day. Curry is out of prison and is managing George's IRL team. And who signs as major sponsor this season of the Vision racing team/Larry Curry managed/Ed Carpenter driven IRL car? Menards!
So I believe Tony Stewart is the only missing piece of the puzzle to bring the team full circle 10-11 years later. It makes perfect sense!
(Tony should probably not bring Home Depot with him though. Just sayin.) :rolling
David.
David, did not Larry Curry manage Tony's USAC team in the first year or two until Larry went to Vision? BTW, Larry graduated from the same high school that my wife did, albeit about three years later.
Tony could stand to lose 50 - 75 pounds. But then again so could I.
I would love to have Tony back here again. I have been a member of his fan club since the beginning.
