NASCAR running thread

Fuck you, Tony Stewart.

Context, courtesy of Utter: Stewart owns the PR firm Kurt uses. Cozy, no?

 

Yeah, I saw that True Speed had picked up Kurt this year. Didn't fully understand why, except he was desperate and probably willing to pay good money.

But he could have defended Kurt (why, god, why?) without lying about Pocky.

 

So what happens if a very motivated David Reutimann goes out there and finishes in the Top 15 for Finch this week?

Then what?

 

The same Stewart who kicked and took a swing at a photographer in 2002? Huh.

 

Whodathunkit indeed.

 

Yeah, that Pockrass, what a shit-stirrer. At the Indiana Daily Student, the only Bob I remember getting yelled at by sources for shit-stirring was me.

Although let me say that wasn't because Bob wasn't sticking his neck out on stories. He established himself very quickly as a good reporter, often working in tandem with future fellow NASCAR reporter Dustin Long.

 

He could have, but you said it yourself several weeks ago -- Stewart is an asshole of major proportions, and no amount of anger management counseling or psychotherapy will ever change that ...

 

Pockrass researches rings around everyone else. If he upsets a driver, my guess is it's more likely when he asks a question to which the driver's reaction is "Shit, I thought nobody knew that."

 

DING DING MOTHERFUCKING DING.

If I were a driver, the people I'd hate to see walking toward me are Pockrass and his twin, Dustin Long.

 

It seems Cotten Owens has died, this time for real. RIP

 

There's a fight over Carroll Shelby's body.
