Yeah, Tony Stewart really struggled his first year in Cup, huh?

From http://www.racehippie.com/biographies/tony-stewart-biography.php

It was in 1997 that Stewart began his NASCAR career running IRL and a
full Busch schedule with team owner Joe Gibbs. Surprisingly, Stewart's
record with Busch was winless; however he had many top 10 finishes
including two 2nd place finishes ? one at Rockingham where Matt
Kenseth passed him on the last lap.

For what it's worth, I think this has a Toyota tie in.
Ray broke ranks and got in on the ground floor with with Dodge so it is not
inconcievable that Toyota wants to make a splash and said "hire Foyt 4 and
we will fund you"
I think AJ is a Toyota dealer so that might be the connection.

Why? So he can almost kill Nextel Cup drivers, too? Anybody see him
turn right into Bruno Junqueira at Indy, causing Bruno to crash and
break his back? He's even less talented than his uncle/cousin Larry.
The Foyt bloodline dried up when AJ retired.

Is Toyota going to start supplying engines to 4 for figure-8 racing?
