Tony Stewart Set to Leave Joe Gibbs Racing

I wonder if this will hurt Stewart as a top 10 driver? He's almost always in the top 10 (I know he's 12th right now), but will going to an inferior racing team help him as a driver or hurt him? My thought is hurt him, but I also thought going to toyota for JGR was a death sentence...clearly I was wrong there.
It might at first, but I think Stewart will have plenty of control over hiring personnel for his team, and in that, he's only going to surround himself with guys who will help him succeed. He's gone as far to thank JGR for showing him how to build a proper race team, and has used what he's learned towards his USAC and World of Outlaws teams. Add the fact that he's a top notch driver, and the only thing in his way he how he and his team perform week in and week out.

The other rumor is that he'll bring Ryan Newman into the fold, and while he's not Jeff Gordon, Newman is a good driver.

The only downfall to this whole thing is money. If somehow Tony isn't able to keep sponsors for the racing team, the money will dry up and he'll be up shit's creek sans paddle. Honestly, I don't think that'll be a problem.

my neighbors work for nascar selling tshirts and other nascar stuff at every nascar race.
they tell me that TS is the biggest asshole on the whole circuit.he's rude and they say he treats fans like shit too.good riddance.he must be an asshole if he can't work for joe gibbs.i wish he would have done this last year and maybe gibbs could have singed dale jr.

He's opinionated, and holds grudges if you cross him. But he's not an asshole, not by a long shot.

Hell no...Dale Jr is Hendrick's! Stay away! haha.

There are lots of stories of people having difficulty with Stewart. Your neighbor isn't the only guy that has called him an asshole.

my ex brother in law is 2nd in charge at the martinsville speedway,and he hates him with a passion too.i love the way he races,but somebody just needs to beat the ever loving hell out of him because of the way he is off the track.
hey,but i'm a number 88 fan too,and always will be.

JSARNO, I hate to bring up old stuff, but do you remember when I told you that Toyota was going to start dominating the field in NASCAR. Well, it has begun.

Disclaimer: Yes, I realize that Tony doesnt like the Toyota powertrain, but right now a driver of a Toyota (Kyle Busch) is leading in the points race and Tony stewart is still in the top 10.

Nope...don't know what you're talking about. :D

I think that was some random stranger that said that.

How convenient that you get amnesia when you are proved wrong. Or is it personality disassociation? http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon10.gif

It's personality disassociation! :D

In all fairness, I am usually the only person that admits when I am wrong. Even in this thread I have already admitted it.
