Will it be Talladega?"<BR/><BR/>*sigh* I really like these two guys but detest how the media hammers stories into the ground. AS IF Jr is not aware that he hasn't won a points race in a couple of years....dogging the boy about it is not helping. On Letterman, Danica said how she got tired of the "When are you gonna win a race Danica?" Like she said, it's not like you could pick out a race on the schedule and say "this one". Things are what they are with race cars, drivers and teams from track to track.<BR/><BR/>Can we just talk about the racing? I heard a chance of rain this weekend. HOW BIG a chance or rain???<BR/><BR/>Please leave the Tony Stewart 'daily updates and rehash alone for now.<BR/><BR/>Also, it would be nice if NOBODY asked Jr "well do you think you may FINALLY win this weekend?"<BR/><BR/>*Shrugs*<BR/><BR/>LEAVE Jr. alone. :-)Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-18079132529290973982008-04-25T13:19:00.000-04:002008-04-25T13:19:00.000-04:00I think your article missed one critical piece - T...I think your article missed one critical piece - THE ACTUAL CONTENTS OF THE INTERVIEW - some of us didn't get to see it.

I wish Tony would pull a Bobby Labonte and say he's not talking about it anymore until he signs something. He opened a real can of worms by saying he's listening to offers, a season and a half before his contract is up. <BR/><BR/>Truex and Carl Edwards (who I think is the most valuable free agent of all for 2008, even more than Tony) have kept their mouths shut, I hope Tony and the media will do the same. As the above posts say, I don't want daily updates on this when there is no real news. Just tell me when a deal is done or about to get done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-11041435692277489392008-04-25T11:53:00.000-04:002008-04-25T11:53:00.000-04:00Good Lord that picture is horrible!I didn't get to...Good Lord that picture is horrible!<BR/><BR/>I didn't get to see the ESPN coverage but I was driving around and Sirius carried it live.
