GREAT link SBF.
I particularly like some of these quotes:
"I think at the time neither Joe nor J.D. had really seen a pretty good replay. I don't think they had realized," Hamlin said. "We've talked since then and I think they realize exactly what happened. Millions and millions of people watching with their opinions know what happened. You know, let them judge.
Interesting, I wonder if anyone will change their mind now that they know that Gibbs knows it was Stewart's fault?

"I think every five, six months it seems like he kind of goes through a very angry stage," Hamlin said. "Evidently I set something off last weekend. But Tony is going to be Tony. He's always like that.

"I'm not saying it's OK. But it's just him."

I chose not to throw Tony under the bus -- and he chose a different road than what I did."

"I don't feel like I'm ahead of him. He's still the leader of Joe Gibbs Racing, without a doubt," Hamlin said. "He's a guy, who really, when I need help, I'll still go to regardless.

"But there's a point where being a leader doesn't always make you right."

And if I were Stewart, this would be the one that hurt the most:
But, you know, I always knew you got to take things with Tony with a grain of salt. You might want to listen to him, but you don't always want to do the same things he does."

I think we all gave a little chuckle to the idea that they "patched things up". Tony doesn't seem like the type to let things go. This link was great to understanding that Gibbs would love to get them both to shut up and settle it behind closed doors, but this is pretty big. Most of the world KNOWS that Stewart rammed him...we just don't know why. I believe it was because Stewart is wreckless, but maybe it's something else. Most fans of Stewart would like to think it was Hamlin, but again, since when is it the leader's fault when he gets hit from behind?

Stewart is in the lead right now (I'm watching the race) and I hope someone wrecks him from behind and then head how his tune will change. (now he's pitting)

Wierd...
I was just watching Jr. catch up (and quickly) to Bowyer, and sure enough, Jr. slowed up, then passed him. How odd!!??? Why go around when you can go through??? I guess not everyone prescibes to Tony's theories.

Also, I was playing NASCAR 08, and I slowed up on purpose...not a single person hit me. They passed me. Even on the rookie rating, they realize not to ram someone. Funny.

Coach Gibbs is da man!!! In football and NASCAR. JGR wins at Chicago!!! Even with Stewart.

Yeah, I think his first win will come at the Brickyard in two weeks. Who knows, it might be sooner.

Well then...I guess it was sooner :) Good for Tony. He's been racing really well the last several weeks. And, hard as it is for some to believe, the last thing he wanted last week to wreck out of the race while running in 2nd last week. All the haters can go cry in their bbq smokers now :)

I hope he learns to keep his mouth shut though because most people only know of Tony what they see and hear on camera. If they really spent time with him and with Denny they woudn't be so sympathetic to Hamlin.

Anyway, I'm done with the Denny and Tony debate. I'm glad Tony got the win and I hope they both race well the rest of the year. Others want to keep harping on last week, go right ahead

Well, I gotta say, he drove a lot better today. Although there were a couple occasions when he was too aggressive to try to keep the lead and would cut someone off.
Also, in super slow mo, you could see Stewart throwing tacks on to the track and that is what blew Johnson's tire. :D

Hahaha...I heard he kept African-Americans from voting in Florida back in 2000 as well :)

LOL, I wouldn't put it past him, he has been witnessed taking candy from babies too. :D

And he robs widowed old ladies out of their life savings...here's to the hot head and his Chicago victory. May it lead to more victories down the stretch...

Maybe Stewart tried to wreck him on purpose cause Hamlin is in 2nd place and is a better driver. Stewart is like a little kid and got all jealous.

(hehe, somewhere SS has a vien popping in his forehead.)
