Sick of people ripping on Smoke
"If you don't like that, that is not my damn problem. Give me some respect and Tony some and keep your stinking mouth shut. I have stopped slamming Gordon and the Busch brothers out of respect. Why can't everybody else?
Oh that's right because it's easier to put someone else down than it is to look at your own faults as an individual. Get a life!"
Hahahaha...Demand respect, tell people to shut up, and then tell others to get a life...Hahahaha...go back to DU.
Who peed in your cornflakes this morning, S?
Oh, and welcome to FR.
(((sniff, sniff...)))
Hatin's racin'. Always has been. Always will. If you don't want to accept that, you're going to be replacing a lot of gaskets.
That's some nasty language you typed. Do you eat with those fingers?
On a side note, WW III has just kicked off and you're getting all wound up about a game. Are you sure that FR is for you?
you gotta admit Tony is a crybaby! Tony needs to get over it,
he has done far worse than what Newman did(which wasn't even
deliberate)
uhhh.....who is Tony Stewart...?
You ain't gonna believe this one.
A NASCAR driver and apparently a psychopath magnet.
I'm not sure, but that description is the old Smoke. He hasn't been dissed by the media this year that I can remember.
This is the Smoke of 2006.......
A mother's pain tempered by generosity
Pattie Petty makes emotional trip to N.H. to accept champ's offer

LOUDON, N.H. -- Tony Stewart can take a racecar to the edge of control and back to Victory Lane and exasperate fans and foes alike to the verge of tears with his "no quarter" attitude in racing and in life.
But Friday morning at New Hampshire International Speedway, Stewart had a packed house of journalists and onlookers on the edge of their seats -- and many actually in tears -- with his latest benevolent act -- another million-dollar pledge to the children's camp the Pettys operate in the memory of their son, Adam.
For Pattie Petty, CEO of the camp, the tears and emotions flowed as freely as the cool New England rain that had filled NHIS's tunnel to a depth of more than 20 inches only the day before.
But the appreciation of she and her husband, Nextel Cup driver and team owner Kyle Petty, to Stewart Friday was deep enough to cover the region to an indefinable depth.
"I think that Tony has a heart that's bigger than his driving talent, if that's possible," Pattie said as tears began flowing. "I'm sorry -- I'm shaking."
Victory Junction came to be after May 12, 2000 -- an indescribably dark day on which their oldest son died on NHIS's Turn 3 in the opening moments of practice for the Mother's Day weekend Busch Series race.
Stewart compelled Pattie Petty to come to New Hampshire this weekend and in describing her walk of the track that took her son, on Thursday night, virtually seized everyone's hearts.
From the first syllable that exited Pattie Petty's mouth Friday morning, her feelings were apparent.
The trio was sitting on tall, bar-type chairs and Petty placed her hand on Stewart's knee to steady herself. Without hesitating Stewart clasped her hand and gave her the strength to continue with her heart-wrenching story of the years since Adam's death.
"He knew I'd never been [to NHIS] -- I'd never even been to the state of New Hampshire," Pattie said. "I had never watched even a race on TV, only heard it on radio.
"And Kyle was having a really hard time coming here."

What the heck are you talking about?
Junior rules! Find another site for your rants!
If you ain't rubbin', you ain't racin'!!!
Smoke has actually mellowed out a lot the last two seasons. He went to anger management therepy to get it under control. I think you should concider it.
And I will still slam Gordon. It's fun.
Be patient and you will discover that most of the FReepers are descent folks. Welcome to the FR! and there a lot of Nascar fans here.
The only thing wrong with Tony is his finger. He just waves that finger too much. Maybe Nascar fans should change his nickname to Finger. Other than that, he is a great driver.
