… I know it’s pathetic, but I’m going to talk about NASCAR.

So today it was reported the following this season Tony Stewart will be ending his 10 year run with Joe Gibbs Racing and moving over to the Haas/CNC team. Tony Stewart is officially a moron.

How can you leave one of the best teams in NASCAR for one of the worst? Right now Stewart has it made - driving for a Gibbs team that currently has every one of their drivers in position to make The Chase, coupled with complete domination in the Nationwide Series (Gibbs has won 13/19 this season). What possible reason could there be to leave? Currently surrounded by the best equipment and the best team, Stewart is going to leave it all behind.

His crew - not going with him (terms of his deal to leave Gibbs Racing). No more #20 Home Depot car. No more Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin helping you move through the field.

… I’m not seeing a lot of benefit here.

Sure, he bought 50% of the Haas team - but why? It’s current drivers (Johnny Sauter and Scott Riggs) - how many races have they won this year? Big fat zero. Thats what you’re joining Tony. A garbage team that currently has a couple mediocre drivers.

Find yourself a new crew, and a new car - and then we’ll see how you do. And as for Gibbs Racing - sure they’ll miss Tony. He was a great driver. But the future looks bright. Stewart’s replacement, Joey Logano, is an uber-talent who at only 18 years old already has a win, two poles, and two top 5’s in his first 4 starts.

Great move Tony. Enjoy your fall to mediocrity.
