If you are a race fan I can't believe you would make a statement like this:

A fool and his money are soon parted. What kind of 'effing idiot would risk his well-being, his finances, and now his reputation over something like this?

Especially knowing Tony Stewart's roots.

Want some more education?

Look up the information on Roger Penske.

Comes from a higher middle class family.
Got a good education.
Raced from a very young age.

Has become a formidable businessman & not only in racing. He literally saved Hertz from bankruptcy.

How many people do you think Rick Hendrick has on his NASCAR payroll? About 650.

You don’t do that because you pulled the prize out of the Cracker Jack box.

Peter Revson was the heir to the Revlon cosmetics fortune.

He raced. AND HE WAS DAMN GOOD AT IT.

Marks Dees was one of the heirs to the Crocker Bank fortune.

He raced motorcycles—land speed record machines & endurance horses. He once told me he was pretty sure he was the only racer who had raced all 3 kinds of transport across the Great Salt Lake boundaries.

He died in an ordinary accident—on a road that was under construction. Noon- Broad daylight—NOT his fault.
