This is EXACTLY why I LOVE Tony Stewart..... still to this day, as a voice of reason in today's effort....
I agree with you.
If you ask Tony a stupid question, Tony will call you out on it. If you ask an intelligent question, he’ll gladly answer it
@@drunkengamer7378 AND THAT is exactly what modern NASCAR is missing in today's drivers
Really?
@@davidpeters2625 Logano and Bush are the 2 exceptions
I’ve always appreciated Tony’s no BS, no filter, straight up honesty! Oh, & Tony, I’m too old to be jumping over walls too! 😂
Kevin really deserves one hell of a send-off tonight!!!!!!!!!!!! 20 years of Support all the way from the Show-Me State!!!
Gonna REALLY MISS KEVIN
me too and so is shr
Just going to say, when Tony Stewart first showed up in NASCAR, I hated his guts and everything about him. I was 18-19 when he was a rookie. After all these years and being older now (43) I can honestly say, I respect the hell out of Tony almost as much or even more than anyone else. One of the best things that ever happened to NASCAR. Just my opinion
...to racing period.
Perfect comment @aebking 🏁💯
@@Mark_Demaline agreed 💯 and thank you!
You couldn't have gotten me in a Home Depot if you tried when they sponsored Tony lol
I agree with ya,look at whos preaching,he used to be a dirty driver n age mellows you out
If he wasn’t a murderer
Tony Stewart has always been and will always be Tony Stewart. What we saw as a young man Tony is exactly what we see today and I just love it.
Once a murderer, always a murder...
@@marshalljimduncanRun along. The adults are talking.
Stewart doesn’t like dumb questions asked at the wrong time 😂. He still has that fire 🔥
You got that right! Get tony mad and he may just take someone's life.
Smoke was right about the S*** show. It's the reason I have reduced my watch time of the truck series. I miss the days of Skinner, Hornaday, Sprague, Carelli and Schrader. THAT was truck racing!
Loved Tony putting that reporter in his place
Congratulations Tony. Your team worked so hard all season for this.
Tony is the man. Don't ask him stupid questions.
I think Blaney and Stewart have declared this "No more stupid questions weekend" ...... It's easy to forget that Custer is only 25 years old, he's still got a long career ahead of him
People thought Tony didn't like Cole by sending him back to Xfinity. Sometimes Dad has to do dad things. Son this hurts me more than it hurts me. Life is a journey not a destination .
Thanks for the reminder of all those days I, woke-up beaten, bleeding, bruised and so sore I couldn’t walk.. Thanks, Dad.
That is unfortunate, sorry. Not normal. Are you going to let that be your focus forever under his influence? Or are you going to accept it, not assume it's that way for everyone, move on and get back at him by being a much better person? @@vapinbachelor289
⁷l too walked 5 miles to school in 5' of snow. Now a further reminder of those days get me a switch and you better bring me a switch. Thanks mom and dad
I would believe that but Cole didn't mention one word about Tony Stewart in his interview after the burn out. He mentioned how Haas believed n him and it was only because of him he's had his opportunities.
Tony wanted his guy Preese in the cup car and for whatever reason idk Cole is much more developed than preese in my opinion. Could preese have won that championship last nite? I guess we will never know
Very valid point but listening to Tony saying he wanted to see growth and maturity. Dad like thoughts. Dad can have many children and each one of them need there own special kick in the butt.
Kevin Harvick is simply a PROFESSIONAL driver
Smoke is 100% RACER. His impact and contributions to motor sports will be last for generations.
Respect that tony didn't just focus on Kevin retiring but included Aric in also 🤘🏻
Tony was right about the Truck race. It was a complete clusterfuck with everyone clawing and eye gouging each other with 4 GWCs. Heim and Hocevar learned the hard way in the Championship 4. Can't throw away your title chances by wrecking each other out. SHR Xfinity teams were the only bright spots this year than their cup teammates enduring their worst season ever. Custer and Riley were there to win races all year with Custer winning the title outright.
Thats a lot of Custer and clusters
Carson screwed himself. He didn't mean to wreck Heim. Things happened. But he was so upset. He kept banging on the wheel and throwing a hissy-fit, at himself. He just needed to calm down and go back to work. He let it ruin his ability to race.
You gotta love and Respect Tony! ❤❤❤❤
Made nascar boring for almost a decade
@@balla4real358 According to who, you? How many pro-level motorsports races have you ever won, PUTZ?
@@sergeantmasson3669 Thank you for your comment.
@@sergeantmasson3669do I need to win a pro race to decide if the races were boring???? Let's think about that, putz
@@balla4real358How is this boring?
Tony has matured 10 fold in just the last 10 years, WOW. What an interview! Thing that sticks in my head was the comment about Parents fighting at events. Sadly this is the norm anymore. It's all about how much you can BULLY your opponents into submission!
tony is spot on about the truck series nascar really needs to get that series under control also must be 21 plus to race the age limit is too low a 17 year old shouldnt be in trucks not muture enough
This is why tony became my fav driver when i was a teen after rusty retired. Speaks straight and honest
8:00 I’m glad Tony shut that reporter down when he tried to change the subject… dinger and kaulig got hit with that all that bullshit at Charlotte
And Riley getting his 1st win the Xfinity program is rolling
Not just a win but a shellacin'!
Seem like it got overshadowed unfortunately with the double in NHRA😢
I 100% agree with Tony’s views of truck race.
And we know who he’s not Hiring to drive..😁👍🏽
SHR needed this , hopefully it will boost the whole company 😊
Love ya Tony...! Congrats to you and Cole...!
Thanks for the video Herman! ❤
The parents fighting each other at go kart races was a thing 20 year ago too and definitely agree with Tony that that is where this problem originated. I'm 27 so I'm slightly older than the new generate of truck drivers, but even when I was in go-karts, it was a regular occurrence to see someone's dad get rejected from the track for code of conduct violation. I raced in the Stars of Karting series, which was a world wide racing league and Santino Ferruci's dad was rejected from every race one year and you would see him standing around outside of each track having to call in to the team to find out what was going on.
Parents in stick and ball games do the same thing. It's nuts.
Every sanctioning body needs to study EVERY SINGLE WORD of what Tony Stewart said. Truck Series is a wreck fest, Xfinity not much better. Cup has its issues but it's lower and local series that are our feeders.
COLE CUSTER proved himself I am so proud of him. By losing Cup ride, taking Xfinity ride and whoop em boys, awesome FULL REDEMPTION. GREAT JOB COLE, GREAT LEADERSHIP SHR, TONY!
xfinity wasnt a weckfest at phx for the cup trucks were cup also isnt any better with certain drivers
Its all about money. The more expensive the cars the less agressive the drivers and the more boring the races.
We are so lucky to still have Smoke in this sport. No B.S. tell it like it is. Always loved him!
They need smoke UNFILTERED in the booth for every race
We are all so greatful with him in nhra
He has brought life back to it
@@michaelreynolds3229 Too bad he couldn't bring Kevin Ward back to life......
@michaelreynolds3229 There's always been life! What Tony did was, of course, marry Leah, who keeps him on his toes, and buy two teams from Don Schumacher. Shoe wanted to get out of the team owning business and focus on his many manufacturing businesses. For whatever reason his daughter Megan, who had been groomed to take over the race teams, bowed out.
Tony got a few more eyes on the Sportsman series, with him racing the A/Fuel car, so there's that. He was giving Julie Nataas a run for the money until the magnito incident. She and Tony had been swapping the points lead back and forth.
@@garyjackson3531 garyjackasss
Thanks for putting out this great content Herm! I have always been a big fan of your even though you have all that Nascar money 😉👊☘️
haha
He said it at the beginning. All comes full circle. A little story in a great black book.🤔
Tony speaks his mind because he's seen it all, from the Dirt to Indy cars, from a young gun in the Cup to a 3x Championship driver and multidimensional Team owner
End of an Era!! Sad Day😢
Long Live Nascar!!! 🎉
Truck series reminds of the demolition derby at your local fair.
Good to see Tony Stewart of all people preaching restraint. Almost like he realized him being a hot head for most of his career was a bad example
Totally agree.. but did Nascar hand out any penalties to anyone?
How about start handing out on track penalties? Time or lap penalties.. or stop and go.... would stop this behavior real fast.
It's a fine line. NASCAR watches intentional stuff and paybacks, which can get you suspended for a race or two, but most of it is subjective. Don't want it to turn into Formula One.
That said, I agree with you that SOMETHING needs to be done.
This is LONG overdue.
More people need to speak up about what has been going on in Nascar throughout the past decade. These kids are barely out of diapers, and they are being given too much undeserved opportunities that are coming way too quickly. They all race like it's a video game because they grew up on IRacing, and have no respect for their competitors, or even their own teams that have to foot the bill for the repair costs.
Nascar also promotes entertainment over sport, creating more restarts and packages that keep everyone bunched together. There are no enforcers in the garage, and the average age of drivers has dropped dramatically. I've never been a Stewart fan, but this is on point.
This is why i said from day 1 that it was a huge mistake to get Hailie Deegan in the Truck series. I glad she is out and should have a better run in XFinity, where it's slightly better in terms of racing.
Smoke is absolutely right about the the trucks.
Tony on clean racing and fighting loooooool
I came to like Stewart as his career progressed but really he's a classic example of why the sport is the way it is now. I remember Tony just going off on a guy for blocking at a plate track then the very next plate race, guess who's blocking - Stewart and takes out half the field.
Tony with age comes thinking before speaking his comments speak to heart of matter hope the folks that make decisions are listening.
THANK YOU TONY FOR KEEPING IT R-E-A-L!!!!!!
THESE KIDS DO N-O-T DESERVE THE WINS/RESPECT/MEDIA ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY ARE KIDS!!!!!!!
STILL WET BEHIND THE EATS!!!!!!
TO CALL THE TRUCK RACE EXCITING AND AND A GREAT SHOW IS TO SAY WATCHING THE ATOM BOMB DESTROY NAGASAKI!!!!!!!
The truck series championship race made your local front wheel drive/hornet class look professional. And Lord knows we don't have the best reputation in racing..... But man alive!
Hey Kenny, Thanks for posting these media events for us!!!!!!!!
4:03 challenge accepted Smoke......Brad K
We don't need Tony to tell us what he thinks. We can see for ourselves.
I usually disagree with Tony, but not this time 100% agree
Grandpa. Looks MIGHTY PROUD OF COLE ! !
Among the many other reasons, the truck series race was the perfect example of why a racing championship shouldn't be decided by a "championship race."
You know... that's a great point. I just don't like seeing all those other competitors mixed in. As a driver, you probably wouldn't want to see anything of the other drivers. Unless those cars slowed up the three cars you're racing against.
I can't wait till the day all 4 cars DNF.
💯 I don't understand why we had to turn racing into a stick and ball sport!?
But we all know who "wears the Firesuit" in that deal.......🤣🤣
That may have been Logano's crowning moment in NASCAR. The best part, the next Daytona, Kevin's first race with Stewart-Haas, Budweiser threw a party. A bit of a roast. Kevin is in street clothes like everyone else. Delana shows up in a firesuit!!
Seems mighty funny some of the guys in the truck series have been watching reruns of Tony’s racing.
Hey, maybe they'll grow up some day, too.
It would be great to see Happy win it!!!🤞👍
This is why Cup drivers should be allowed to race in the lower tiers. You wouldn't have what we had on Friday night.
no. absolutely not.
@gothard5 yes, absolutely so
@@gothard5When Kyle Busch was racing trucks almost every week, you didn't have a demolition derby weekly like you have now.
Good show 👍
Growing up a NASCAR fan in the late 80's, I remembered when the Truck Series used to be where all the ex-Cup Series drivers would go to late in their racing careers like Johnny Benson, Ted Musgrave, Ron Hornaday, and others and at one point it was the best series out of the three. Now, the Truck Series is embarassing to watch and the majority of these drivers should be ARCA, the CARS Tour, Trans-Am, or another series to develope. In additions, these kids are getting moved up way to fast and it shows how they are running in the Xfinity Series. Keep up the good work Kenny.
Tony is a hypocrite - the young guys today learned from watching Tonys anger on the track.
And as far as hiring kids that came from money instead of working their way up, he races those same kids that have worked their way up Top alcohol😅
Ahh, Tony will sleep like a baby tonight, he’ll wake up every 2hours crying 😂
Tony certainly cuts through the bull...... Bologna.
Sometimes you got to take a step back in order to take two steps forward. And that's what Cole Custer did.
You tell em Tony!!
I remember when Stewart Haas switched to Ford, I thought the gates of heaven opened up. Harvick was a favorite, he won a lot of races sad to see veterans retire. Same with the 10 driver. I personally think the xfinity series is the best by far. The 4 speed, the 10inch width tires is traditional racing 🏁 the cup series doesn't do it for me, I hate change! You should too! Perhaps Nascar needs to revert back to motors that spin 9,000 plus xfinity series at least 700 hp sounds urgent! I'm violently allergic to restrictor plate racing.
With what happened that night no wonder so many drivers like Jesse Love are leaving or straight up skipping trucks
I’ve been a die hard Stewart fan all his career and he’s right about the truck series, but he did say he’d wreck his mom to win a championship 😅
That was Mike Skinner
He’s not wrong! It was just an awful ending. If I were Enfinger, I’d have a few words for the two idiots! Ben Rhoades in the car bird seat for sure, plus that kid is just plain fun and funny!
Agreed on Grant; by far the most mature of the whole lot of them. And it's no wonder, Ben is the real deal. Not faultless, but just look at the props he gets from all the commentators. Most of them sincerely like the guy. He's that same guy when you talk to him in person.
Stew is right.
Tony pure stand up man.
Pure Murder
Tony wrecked his share of competition. Just ask them Jr being one of them
I felt like truck’s should have 5 championship play offs cuz three are taken out need one more clash with it
They ran something like 30 laps in overtime! I'm all for the green-white-checker. I wish they would adopt in IndyCar, especially for the 500, but that was insane!
Death, taxes, and Tony Stewart being pissed off in the media center.
drivers "dumping" drivers will never EVER stop
It would if nascar hands out time penalties or stop and go penalties.
@@penguin8711It would turn into Formula One! Sit the team owners, crew chiefs, and drivers down and scare em!
Tony, you NEVER intentionally wrecked anyone, have you?
Tony definately gets it!!
the truck series use to be exciting to watch back in the days am talking about 2003 -2015
I love Tony Stewart
Awesome!
Tony always knew how to teach respect.
I'm thinking Tony is shopping his charters/ownership and headed to focus more on the NHRA and other endeavors.
Well, Gene is half owner, so Tony MIGHT sell his part, but why? They are making money. There are plenty of leaders there to run the show. Gene has a Formula One team, two cars and drivers. You could field the entire Cup field for what those two cars cost to build and operate. They aren't even front runners, or mid-pack, most races.
Tony is enjoying drag racing. Who wouldn't. There are people running that too. He's having fun racing himself.
Xfinity is a better series with better racing. TBH its more of a cup series than the cup series. Cole’s driving style fits a real race car.
Indeed. I'm glad Hailee Deegan is getting out of that nonsense. It doesn't matter where you are running, there is no safe spot.
Tony said there is zero respect givin in the truck serires. He must not have heard Rhodes annnd Lushes thank Enfinger for the respect he shoed in the final turn racing for a championship.
Yeah, but a what about he other two playoff drivers and those ten overtime starts 😂
@@thomasrice9903 Hocevar didn't do anything wrong. He accidentally got spun the 11, but the 11 wrecked him intentionally. There's a big difference.
@thomasrice9903 i agree... the rest of that race was embarrassing... but Tony said there is zero respect, but the new champ and his crew chief thanked Enfinger for the respect.l in their interviews. Soooo, ya, Tony needs to acknowledge that and not generalize.
@@nomadman5288Carson just lost his head. The in-truck camera showed him banging on the wheel and having a hissy-fit. That's where he needed a championship caliber crew chief to calm him down and get his head back in the race. Heim intentionally wrecking him wouldn't have happened if he had kept his head in the game. That said NASCAR needs to do something with Heim.
I'd like to hear from Tony WHY the past 2 years has been rough for his Cup program. What are the specific issues? It's disappointing that Harvick is going out on a slump from no fault of his own.
Harvick looked good today though. Was actually contending for the win early on. Finished in the Top 10 and kept an unbelievable streak alive. I wish he would have won.
Amen!! 👏👏
Yes there are some kids out there that doesn’t have a clue what it takes to work for something it has been given to them. I agree with Tony but there is one kid I have watched all year and he has some thing to be proud of. Some racing team needs to look hard at this guy. Truck #35. Garcia. Believe he will be a great driver for a great team
I think they should shit can the truck series.
Well damn 😂
Fact!
what kinda show is SHR team puting on or how will the WWE cup show turn out today??? asking for a friend
Truck series is my favorite, way better than Xfinity and Cup. 👍
Heim could took it like a champ and moved on but he really hurt his character by retaliating.
He's not wrong.
Never trust what a murderer has to say.
They need to put em in sprint cars for a weekend and see if they still try and wreck eachother.
Lol 😂 at least Noone got run over
Smoke is 100% correct,the trucks are just cannon foder and they beat and bang.
Well Tony is an expert on shit shows...he causes far more than his share of them...always has.
His cup cars were a poop show this year! Harvick's last year.......😢
Yes and all he cared about was NHRA! What a way for Kevin and Aric to go out after carrying that Team all this time
Ever since the early 2000's when nascar was at its hiegth, the Cup cars haven't handled good. Due to safety standards, they haven't been able to make a safe car handle good, since. Wrecks are dangerous but without old school, side by side racing, the racing is boring without crashes. Playoffs or not doesn't make a difference, with a good product on track. Different drivers don't matter with exciting racing.
The broadcast crew the way the made it sound it was some of the greatest racing ever?
That's their job!
so u cant b real and b truthful in that line of work?@@garyjackson3531
Series are as good as the race directors who let it happen...
I been watching NASCAR racing even before it got to this point. Loved truck series back in late 90s to mid 2000s. But last few years sucked balls. Before any one questions me. About what I have said. I'll let you know. I been watching all nascar's main circuits. Since early 90s. On and off. Mad respect to those drivers. It's a joke now days.
Younger and younger drivers. Not always mature enough. Truck racing was really good when it started. An interesting mix of tracks. Not having live pit stops took some excitement away, but I understand why it started that way. There are very few real good truck races nowadays.
There’s something different about grandpa Stewart🤔
