OT: Why no F1 team tactics in WC?

5 posts by 5 people · 15 Nov 1999 - 18 Nov 1999

With Tony Stewart pulling a D.C. Austrian move on Labonte, why didn't he just let his "tars go off" and let Labonte by? Was the point chase over? Labonte is too nice a guy...

I think you will find Tony Stewart does not consider himself to be a number 2 driver anymore. I fully expect to see more instances like the two of them comming together for posisiton. Remember, Tony wrecked his buddy Matt Kenseth not once, not twice, but three times, and then got mad when Matt finnaly hit back. Tony is a very intense racer. Should be great fun in the comming years. dave henrie > With Tony Stewart pulling a D.C. Austrian move on Labonte, why didn't > he just let his "tars go off" and let Labonte by?

1. Tony would have moved over to keep Labonte in the hunt, if Jarett didn't have it sewn up. 2. Unlike the overpaid pansies in F1 the Cup guys believe in racing. Also unlike F1, their owners do too. Gibbs was upfront about letting his guys race. 3. Labonte showed incredible class in the postrace interview. Since Stewart is a newbie, Labonte could have done him some serious damage. Tony owes him one. bob
