An Intelligent NASCAR Twitter Conversation from Danica Patrick to Tony Stewart

My eye spied a conversation on Twitter that was between a few knowledgeable players.  No requests for pictures, no off-the-wall comments from Twitter surfing folk... just a great conversation with news gurus Jenna Fryer, Marty Smith, Jeff Gluck and Jim Utter.

It starts out about Danica Patrick and ends up about why there are no more Tony Stewarts out there.

Check it out...  (Well, at least I found it fascinating)

Tossed Danica link out because regardless of opinion, Zippy's quotes are worth a read. I believe he's qualified to comment. #NASCAR

@jennafryer -- Great job. Why wouldn't you share it? Well done.

@martysmithespn well, some people need to be steered toward the interesting stuff and past the Danica rage.

@jennafryer -- You presented the story well, from the subjects involved. Post the link. Let them figure it out.

@jennafryer Like the part where Zipadelli says Danica learns more in a weekend than Logano ever did? Ouch.

@jeff_gluck well, it is couched by him saying how far off she starts. I think that is an important part.
— Jenna Fryer (@JennaFryer) October 25, 2012

-

@jennafryer Yes, I think so…for the same reasons Stenhouse will be in the 6. Young, talented and opportunity available.
— Jeff Gluck (@jeff_gluck) October 25, 2012

-

@jeff_gluck No way! Stenhouse has far more experience when he's getting his ride than Joey did. Joey would have been in a Stenhouse

@jeff_gluck situation if Tony had not left, and thus likely would not have had the struggles Zippy alluded to in piece.

@jennafryer @dnewtonespn @jeff_gluck -- He deserves the 22 over Sam and Regan. IMO he'll flourish w/ a new start/knowing he's wanted.

@jennafryer I would argue if Kenseth hadn’t left, a full-time Cup ride wouldn’t have been avail for RSJ. But you’re right, RSJ has more time

@jeff_gluck @jennafryer -- The rides were there for Stenhouse, Jeff... He just couldn't take them due to ironclad RFR contract.
— Marty Smith (@MartySmithESPN) October 25, 2012

-

@jeff_gluck except he's locked into RFR for like 92 more years. and I think his first 4 born are, too.

fact RT @dnewtonespn: Pretty sure zippy would take Joey over DP, hands down @martysmithespn @jennafryer @dnewtonespn @jeff_gluck

Clearly this has gone off the rails. The point is, there are no more Tony Stewarts out there. You cannot just show up and win races anymore.

That goes for any series, open wheel and NASCAR. Not an indictment of talent; competition is so strong, it takes time to get on same level.
