I use the rationality of the thoroughbred factor. He's given back so much to this sport in our corner when he didn't have to. He also drives the wheels off of everything he sits in. He has the skill and he has the will. As long as he doesn't say anything bad about my parents(no they're not brother and sister) he's fine with me.

Tell you whuuuuuut. If all it took to win the Triple Crown, the Brickyard, and the Chili bowl was to be an embarassment (?) to the racing community, I'd gladly take that job! I find it more embarrassing(not spelling long words is embarras...embars...never mind) when fans don't recognize a driver with the gift.

While my thoughts differ than that of many, I like Tony and don't blame him for speaking out. Nobody else will do it so why can't he? He is correct, NASCAR is a joke and almost scripted like WWE. You have your Golden Boy (yes I am a huge Jeff Gordan fan but fact is fact), you have your on-track trouble maker who nobody likes (Busch) and you have the driver who tells it like it is and pulls no punches (Stewart). You have another driver living off his daddys name (Kyle Petty) and you have a driver who is only liked because he is the famous son of a famous driver who nobody liked before his death (Dale).
I like Stewart but don't necessarily like everything he does but he does tell it like it is and how he feels without kissing butt. To me, Tony is no embarrassment.

Without kissing butt?? Where were you when he came back out of meetings with nascar people and said sorry, he didn't mean what he said, and how wrong it was for him too say it, or what ever that weeks brain fart was! Are you sure you follow nascar and the drivers very much?

Guess what?!!!!! Many of your legendary drivers are like that. Behind closed doors there is venting, compromises, and outright dealmaking. Don't mistake being flexible and respectful for selling out. There is a differance. I have heard Tony whine for the last 11 years but he never had the regularity we have found with you.
AJ Foyt would not only come out of a meeting like that with Tony Hulman, he would also buy him lunch. Go too far with hardheadedness and you end up dead, or worse---without a ride.
PS- have you even been around long enough to know who Hulman was?

I would have to agree with David too.I'm a huge nascar fan.I think those guys are so lucky to race at that degree.I am glad Tony says it like it is.I love Jeff Gordon,and Jimmie Johnsons driving skills.Dale Jarrett was a class act.Dale JR.has always been a whiner.However he is doing alot better now with Hendrics.I cant wait every week to watch nascar. They are all racers at heart and it would be so hard to keep up with all the stuff that comes with nascar.I think it would take alot of the fun out of it.We get to just go race .They have tons of interviews,And don't forget all the HATS!!!! L.O.L

"Dale JR.has always been a whiner"
Well someone got something right on the subject of nascar, now it we can touch on his lack of skill and how hes yet on another top team running great cars to the ground with no wins!
