Heard from reliable source that Tony Stewart is not running Chili Bowl this year. Kinda hard to believe since there is no more Nascar testing allowed in '09 and he has all freedom he wants now that he's not with Gibbs??:confused:

Fredom? Hes got a new upstart team with tons of suppliers to contact plus sponsors he has to make apearances at constantly, do ads and comercials for ect.

Not all their obligations are at the track, I know last year they changed his qualifyer night so he could participate.

Chuck, saying If he could run, he'd run. I got the feeling part of the reasoning behind his leaving gibbs is to give himself more choices as to when and where he can run dirt.

NASCRAP considers the Chili Bowl A test session :rolling

That's makes two of us that won't be running there. :rolling

A commitment to Office Depot, I've heard.

well if stewarts not runnin then im not gonna go to the damn thing. he is the only reason i went in the past. :confused:

Double edged sword, but maybe the NASCRAP Groupies will thin out a bit....maybe I can get a ticket someday.

If you guys think that race last year was worth putting on TV or worth someone like Tony Stewarts time I think you better reconsider. That race (if you want to call it that) sucked.

Who ever puts that on better figure out a way to make that more competitive or else we are gonna lose a lot of fans.
