Stewart's an idiot if he does this

Danika has to be at least 30 lbs lighter.

Rick Hendrick and Michael Waltrip have both offered jobs to Darian Grubb. Tony would be wise to reconsider.

Grubb is a smart man, I just don't think it would be smart if Tony let him go. That doesn't mean he has to be crew chief.

As for the crew chief comment, I'm sure you would have said he was an idiot to leave JGR as well.

I don't know about that, although Tony is a sharp driver, but Grubb's call for Tony to stay out extra 10 laps I believe help win the race. But then again Tony did drive the wheels off that car

How do you connect my post to the crew chief driving the car, all I was saying was arm chair quarterbacking and calling someone an idiot is futile.

I'm a pretty big Stewart fan, but to compare Kulwicki's championship to this pseudo Hendrick championship 19 years later is quite a bit different.

I'm betting Grubb ends up with the title of 'Director of Competition" for Stewart-Haas racing

If Tony had been up on the wheel earlier in the season he wouldn't have been in tenth place come the chase. He won five races during the chase, zero during the season. You can't convince me his car was that bad prior to the chase. "Don't need a crew chief." Come on.

Ryan Newman

Really? IMO
