There is something new this year to the stirrup about him not talking to the media right after the race. This year, he has HIS OWN SHOW, why not exclusively make your post race comments on your radio show. What a great marketing idea, instead of giving your post race thoughts to anyone standing there with a microphone, why not go straight to your hauler, turn on his personal tape recorder and say just what you fill, good, bad, whatever, then play this tape exclusive on his own show, people say they want to hear what drivers have to say at the end of the race, but you have the media asking these ridiculous questions, and the drivers are restricted on what they can say by FCC and NASCAR standards, after the race, everyone was upset they didn’t get to hear what was on Tony’s mind, then he went on his show and spoke his mind, and now is getting torn apart by these same people, he just cant win, I hope the media doesn’t end up running the guy out of the sport, PS - what is the big deal about what he said about NASCAR, are they to be immune from all criticism and complaints?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753236960743080917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-30745679509107845182007-04-26T10:26:00.000-04:002007-04-26T10:26:00.000-04:00I'm loving your analysis and insight on NASCAR Now...I'm loving your analysis and insight on NASCAR Now. Not being a "media guy" like yourself, I haven't been able to put my finger on the reasons why the show just doesn't click -- aside from recognizing the hosts are just gawd awful, of course.<BR/><BR/>I really hope they get this thing fixed. The Speed Channel shows aren't doing it for me either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-83689372688495583592007-04-26T10:10:00.000-04:002007-04-26T10:10:00.000-04:00i emailed david poole with the suggestion that nas...i emailed david poole with the suggestion that nascar should punish tony stewart by donating ten thousand dollars of the waltrip penalty to the operation wax smoke fundraiser. i also told him to challenge all members of the media at talladega to donate one hundred dollars each to 'punish' him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-57421139880824139052007-04-26T10:06:00.000-04:002007-04-26T10:06:00.000-04:00How long before Marty quits?
