August 21, 201412 yr I would assume they are irritated by the whole thing more than being edgy. As a former racer, this wasn't his fault, regardless of his history or him being a jerk, which I agree with. I assumed from day one the kid tried to slap the wing as he drove by to enhance his career as "going after Tony Stewart", it's the closest thing he can hit as the car goes by. Theoretically it's the safest thing to hit, if he had done it correctly. I think Tony should move on, the longer it goes on will make things fester longer. Everyone involved in accidents move on at some point, it's silly to thing they will quit working, or doing what the they doing, when the accident happened. I saw a guy die when I was racing boats and a driver replaced him 2 weeks later and were back to racing, it's part of the job.

This is racing people die all the time, its part of the sport, time to move on.
August 21, 201412 yr Very much agree. This is racing people die all the time, its part of the sport, time to move on. What's your definition of "all the time"
August 21, 201412 yr Hearing rumblings Tony may retire. Actually it wouldn't surprise me Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G730A using Forum Runner
August 21, 201412 yr Retiring or not the fact that he is sitting out again makes me think this has really shook him up.
August 21, 201412 yr Author Retiring or not the fact that he is sitting out again makes me think this has really shook him up. If it didn't shake him up he's a cold blooded human being.
August 22, 201412 yr He's got connections to this end of the state...a very reliable source told me they can hardly get Tony out of bed...
August 22, 201412 yr I can see him sitting out the rest of the year but Tony loves racing too much to retire. He also has a lot of people depending on him now that he is an owner.
August 22, 201412 yr I could see him just being an owner from here on out. How much would he feel like celebrating if he came back and won a race this year or even next season.
August 22, 201412 yr He's got connections to this end of the state...a very reliable source told me they can hardly get Tony out of bed... Isn't he co-owner of the track in Paducah?
August 22, 201412 yr He is worth approximately $70m so what ever decision he makes will be more about how this impacted him than coming back for the money,
August 22, 201412 yr Author If he came back to race I wonder what kind of reception the crowd would give him. I think it would be different at every track.
