Fatboy wins the Busch race. You go Smoke! When Stewart came out and started bad mouthing Goodyear everyone was all up in arms. Then Jimmie and Jeff start having the same problem and everyone says the tires suck. They still haven't come up with a good tire for the Car of Tomorrow, oops, Today. I wish they'd give the owners more leadway with their equipment and setups. Why can't they use a different tire manufacturer? NASCAR would be a lot better to watch if they went back to factory models. This has to be this. That has to be that. It's like all the penalties in the NFL. They go over-board with all of the rules IMO.

I think that the reason that Stewart and Newman ran their tires off is because Stewart is using the Chevy setup he had with JGR from before they went to Toyota. Stewart likes to run the hell out of his cars and go strait to the front and the tires aren't good enough. You can say that's just Smoke being an Ass, true. But, he isn't a loser. I'd be different if Kvapil said it.
