My take on Tony

#1

Clearly, the guy was his own worst enemy today. His run-in with Gordon was
pretty much a racing deal, but he could have let off the gas, especially
that early in the race. I tend to agree with Gordon that the blame was on
both sides. His bump with Kenseth was way out of hand, I have no idea what
he was doing going way below the yellow line for a block. He knows if
Kenseth attempts to pass below the yellow it's no good anyway. He is lucky
he got a back of the pack penalty too. He should have received at least a
drive through on pit road, like the others. He messed up on pit road, too,
parking it too close to the wall, thus running over the jack. All in all,
the guy could have been a contender for the win. But he let his temper and
bone-head moves get the better of him.

Top 5 today, Win yesterday - he ain't hurting this weekend.

Yeah, but he had a winning car today, instead he spent half the race trying
to get through the field from the back. You know he wanted this one BAD.

Tony messed up today, he was rightfully penalized for it, he came back to
have a good finish, let's move on to Fontana.

Huh?

TS didn't go below the Y-line to block Matt.

He wrecked him above the Y-line!

Matt tried to pass Tony on the inside and Tony drove him down below the
yellow line into the grass !! lol

Let's see, put him at the back of the longest line after............ he has
an extended saty in the pits to repair damages to his car from his own
bonehead driving.

I'm guessing he STILL would have come out of the pits at the end of the pack
after repairing his car from his case of head-up-his-ass.

Very WEAK penalty.

Personally, I think Tony is a helluva driver, most of the time. But it's
days like this that makes you wonder if he squanders some of his talent. He
gets a top 5 after all the problems he had. Just think what he could have
done if he raced clean all day.

If he was not a 2 time Cup champ; I might question his decisions a bit
more. But, he is; and apparently Kenseth started the bull early on and
Tony was not going to let it go. Right or wrong; I enjoy watching him
drive and root for him. I will worry about him being perfect *after* God
tells me that Tony is Messiah.

I don't think anyone with an objective viewpoint could say Tony is anything
less than a world-class driver. Unfortunately, he's a world-class driver with
a hair-trigger temper and an incredible, incredible level of immaturity.

I predict several more championships in his future if - and that's a big IF -
he ever grows up.

He's probably capable of the championships even with his current
attitide. If he gets his temper in check, he could do quite well for
himself.
