I'm trying to recall when Tony "ever claimed to be a famous person".

I would bet Tony signs more autographs in 1 year, than all the modified drivers in America combined. Think about it. There are 200 people wanting your autograph. You only have time to sign 5. Is it better to sign 5 and make the other 195 mad, or do you just not sign any? I have witnessed Tony being very generous with his time signing for fans. He signed at the Rumble for everyone who wanted one AFTER the races.

Sound like he left you hanging with out and autograph at one time or another and you where jealous of the others that received one.

To be honest you sound like a real jerk to be mouthing off and not really knowing someone. You should look in a mirror before you call someone out like this. Tony is a 1st class person.

Why would he put on a Charity race on dirt with NASCAR, Indy Car, N.H.R.A., & WOO Sprint Car driver at Eldora and then donate all the proceeds to a charity if he didn't have to. There's only on plausible explanation - BECAUSE HE WANTED TO HELP OUT THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT.

I'd really like to see the english translation of this post.

A man is about as big as the things that make him angry.

Huge difference in being known by 20,000 or even 200,000 people verses 2 or 20 million people. Think about it, Not a second of your day could be spent without someone grabbing your arm, Expecting something.

I've seen Tony at non Nascar events, He gates off his pit and doesn't want to be bothered. After the races when he doesn't need to be focused, He makes time.
I haven't met a driver yet who isn't focused and could be taken for "A JERK" at times when his mind is on Winning vs everyone wanting something..

Millions of Charity dollars, Hundreds of Jobs created by this "JERK" And lots of enjoyment at a track that might not have made it after Earl???

Tony, Just keep being who you are!
