Tony Talk: Daytona 500 Post Race Press Conference

By SmokinNews, on February 17th, 2008%

After finishing 3rd in the season opening Daytona 500, Tony made the mandatory NASCAR press conference:

KERRY THARP: We’ll go ahead and roll into our post race press conference. We have our third place finisher, that’s Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota. Your thoughts?

TONY STEWART: Disappointed, obviously. It would be a lie to come in here and say I was happy about, you know, going from first to third on the last lap of the Daytona 500.

I just made the wrong decision on the backstretch. Tried to get down in front of Kyle. Thought I would get a push down there, and the top line, the 12 or the 2 got glued to the 12.

When you do that, I mean, I don’t know

Help a teammate, Lose the Daytona 500?

I don’t get it.  You give up the lead on the last lap of the Daytona 500 to try and help your teammate who is in 4th place.  Is this what we have to look forward to this year?  First Tony loses the Gatorade Duel on Thursday and cheerfully says that it didn’t matter if he won, as long as the Gibbs team won.  Now he gives up a probable win, in order to help Kyle get a good finish.

This doesn’t bode well for the year.

Congratulations to Roger Penske for getting his first restrictor plate win with Ryan Newman winning the 50th Daytona 500. It’s hard to believe it took him this long to accomplish it.  Who would have thought that after all these years, his
