Tony Stewart calls out Goodyear
After hearing what Tony Stewart had to say about Goodyear tires after his second-place at the Kobalt Tools 500 in Georgia yesterday, I had to run out and look at what was on my Pontiac. In this case, Stewart wasn't alone in his criticism of the equipment -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. was upset as well -- but, as usual, Tony was among the most colorful. Well, I checked, and mine are Goodyear, too, and after a close inspection, they look, well, round. And they get me to the supermarket just fine. Of course, I'm not going down York Road at 180 miles per hour, either. Kyle Busch won the race.

It was not a very good race. You didnt see a lot of two/three/four wide racing. One of the drivers said it was like following the leader. Drivers were having trouble getting grip on their tires and was afraid of getting loose. Half the field was 1-5 laps down from the front runners. Several drivers were quoted and saying they were glad the race was over and they survived. Some went as far as saying it was the hardest race of their life, trying to get around that track in one piece.
I think Goodyear had a major crisis on their hands.

Capt.,
I've been having that same problem racing for parking spots at Wegman's ... seriously, you hope that in that sport that any safety issue gets addressed imediately.

Funny how Edwards said he and his car were fine with the tires. Sounds like loozers crying to me.

I don't think this is a case of losers crying. Tony finished second to his teammate - I have a feeling he'd have said the same thing in the winner's circle.
