With Denny Hamlin leading the pack for 10 laps, on lap 14 of the race, it looked like Tony Stewart got a run on Denny and in passing him, snagged his fender and into the wall they both went, taking them both out of contention.
In ensuing interviews, Tony Stewart railed on Denny saying "The 11 car decided to stop in turn 4 in front of 42 other cars. He tried wrecking me earlier this week and finished us off tonight. Hamlin doesn’t know the definition of team right now."
In a subsequent interview with Denny Hamlin, Denny said he wasn't doing anything different than any other lap, as he was getting tighter as the laps went on.
So Tony Stewart, yet again, drives through another car with tire issues, (Hey Denny, call David Gilliland... you can be in the same club!!), and blames the other guy. Dude, I know you're good, but you have got to put a restrictor sole on your driving shoe and quit driving through people.
But then, it's never his fault, is it?
UPDATE: Here's the NASCAR.com article about the incident: nascar
Nope, never Tony's fault. I've tried giving him the benefit of the doubt way too many times. Even with the Gilliland case earlier this year, I thought, 'well, Tony's a veteran; DG's a rookie...Tony knows what he's talking about.'
ReplyDeleteNo more. Tony hit Denny, case closed. How arrogant for Tony to say the race leader caused the accident.
