I feel for all those loyal Home Depot employees.

They have supported Stewart so well. Treated him like a god.... Extreme loyality.

Now, Tony is moving on.....

Bet it is a real blow to those loyal Home Depot employees/fans!

"Show me the $$$$$" --- Tony, you are like all the rest of the high pay sports figures. Your actions, just reduces NASCAR to the low level of NFL, NBA, Baseball....

You make those contractual committemts --- If the employer want to get rid of you,, then you want the $$$, if you want to leave for the $$$ - that is fine with you.

Tony, how many times have I seen you in victory circle talking about the Home Depot Employees -- now, you just sweep them to the gutter...

As they say in NASCAR "Let's go Racin'" === this needs to be changed - "Let's go Racin' for the $$$"

And, to tie the topic to this board--- half owner of NASCAR team (a very bad team) appears to me to be a monster of a job.

Think of all the perils he has ahead of him. Paying the Bills.

Will all the effort for the new business endeavor - effect Eldora and the Sprint car teams? Only time will tell - but, I would not be surprised that he will have to realign his priorities.

I wonder if the timing is bad. Seems like a major focus on Chevrolet. Well, General Motors is in bad shape! Did you know, based on Market Capitalization, that Mattel Toys (6.6 Bill) is worth more than General Motors ( 6.1 Bill)!! Yes, the people that make Matchbox cars is worth more than the "mighty" GM!

With the bad shape of GM - will they cut back promotional $$ -- They are burning thru billions and has to stop the bleeding. Will racing / NASCAR take a big hit? Would seem like a possibility.

IN my opinion - I think Tony is moving into an extremely risky endeavor. I sure hope he is not putting his hard earned Home Depot $$$ into the new team. High risk to me!!
