TOny Stewart Likens Nascar to Wrestling
April 25, 2007
2:55 pm EDT
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Two-time champion Tony Stewart likened NASCAR to professional wrestling and accused it of using bogus caution flags to shape races in biting comments made on his weekly radio show.
Stewart's appearance on his Tuesday night show was his first since skipping a post-race press conference in Phoenix. He dominated Saturday night's race but lost after a late exchange of leads with winner Jeff Gordon. Stewart said he refused interviews to avoid bashing NASCAR after officials threw four cautions for debris on the track.
``It's like playing God,'' he said on his Sirius Satellite Radio program. ``They can almost dictate the race instead of the drivers doing it. It's happened too many times this year.''
Stewart, who said he was fighting a fever and left the two-hour show early, went on to say fans are complaining about debris cautions and NASCAR isn't listening.
``I guess NASCAR thinks 'Hey, wrestling worked, and it was for the most part staged, so I guess it's going to work in racing, too,''' he said. ``I can't understand how long the fans are going to let NASCAR treat them like they're stupid before the fans finally turn on NASCAR.
Snip...
Where is everybody??
Okay, let’s try this... free okra to the first five posters
i hear...
I’m here!
Whoa doggies, you tell em Smoke!
mmmm fried okra?
Welcome. I guess now we only have three metric tons of okra left. Let’s see who our next three posters are...
Alright.
Only two left...
Hey Tork, there's a race on this weekend.
It better be.
LOL. Ya, anything but fried, and it’s just like something out of Alien or The Thing.
It’s not too bad in gumbo.
Nascar needs to be back on TNT and not on FOX. Fox tv ads are making it hard for me to watch Nascar!!!!...
They all are pretty infested with ads. I’d pay to watch it on cable with no commercials.
Let me guess this straight. He declined an interview to avoid bashing NASCAR, then bashes them on his radio show? Maybe he’s angry because he’s not dominating anymore
