When the "Home Depot Hammer", aka Tony Stewart won 3 of the final 10 races of NASCAR’S 2006 playoffs, his critics said it was easy. After all he had NO pressure on him. He wasn’t IN the chase….didn’t HAVE to race for points or protect his sled OR worry about a DNF. Hell all TONY had to do was go pumpkins out for the WINS!
Yeah…in OTHER words, Do what Tony Stewart DOES …"every race. Get up front and try to WIN it! That’s ALL Tony Stewart KNOWS! And so far it’s worked out pretty damn tremendous! Two Cup Championships, an Indy Car Title, and a triple crown in the premiere sprint and midget series….ALL in the SAME year!
Tony picked right up where he left off in 2006 by winning the 2007 Budweiser shootout! I know, I know, there was no pressure on him because there were no points up for grabs and it was JUST a beer race with his cronies. Snap out of it Home Depot haters. Get USED to disappointment. Because you will receive it. IN abundance in 2007. Because the only pressure that Tony Stewart is going to feel is from straining to carry those big ass winning checks from Victory lane to his cabana!
This is Nuttz on NASCAR
PS…… for the fastest pizza delivery while you are at home WATCHING the Daytona 500…….call Michael Waltrip. And ask for his under the radar, semi-legal, I accidentally spilled pizza sauce….(yeah that’s the ticket) on my slightly modified heads. Special! Gee, I am sure glad that Toyota is just going to quietly come into cup and compete without any distractions! So far I would say the score is:
Jack Roush 01
Toyota -02
