Tony Stewart Is Pissed And Wants Martin Truex Jr. To Know About It
Tony Stewart Is Pissed And Wants Martin Truex Jr. To Know About It-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:44

Martin Truex Jr.'s number 78 Chevy had a bit of a run-in with Tony Stewart's number 14 Chevy during today's NASCAR Sprint Cup Auto Club 400. So, Stewart let Truex know in the pits after the race—rather heatedly. (At least no one threw any punches or grabbed onto any firesuits this time.)

Truex had an issue with Aric Amirola on track, but collected Tony Stewart's front end as he drove across the width of the track to dart down to the other side.

"If you wanna fuck with him, fuck with him," said Stewart in the video, captured by USA Today motorsports reporter Jeff Gluck. Stewart was pretty clear that he'd like to be left out of any issues that other drivers had with each other on track. After all, it sort of ruined his day.

Tony Stewart told a much more safe-for-work version of why he was mad at Truex:

I wasn't delusional that we were going to win the race or anything but if he's got a problem with someone else and got his hand out the window changing three lanes and (he) drives back across punching a hole in my nose.

Stewart believes his car would have had a top-ten finish had it not gotten punched in the nose by Truex. He drove his car to a 14th place finish regardless, even with a front end that was covered in black duct tape from the smack. It's the best finish he's had all year, far better than the 30th place he scored at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

But oh, is he mad at Truex. Best, schmest. You're always going to kick yourself if you know you could have done better.

The New F1 Halo Doesn't Look That Bad For Drivers, After All That
Formula 1's new for driver protection still looks about as dumb as conceivably possible from the outside, but finally there’s POV video to show what it’s like from the driver’s perspective. Watch and judge for yourself, but this doesn’t look too bad. Mercedes released this video of the only view...

The 2018 McLaren Formula One Car: Now With More Blue And Less Honda
Life is full of disappointments, but not many have been as crushing as the story of the McLaren Honda Formula One team. The return to that partnership conjured images of the Senna-Prost glory days, but it mostly meant DNFs, engine failures and . But for 2018, things will be different!...

This Is The Honda Odyssey Race Van Your Mom Should Have Built
Gotta take the kids to school? You should stop at the track first. A collection of madmen from Honda’s Alabama plant built a humble Odyssey into a race car, and I see absolutely nothing wrong or sacrilegious about this plan. Come to think of it, every minivan would be better...

This Is The Mercedes You’ll Probably Get Sick Of Again In Formula One
The current hybrid V6 era in Formula One has been defined by one thing above all: getting real damn tired of seeing the Mercedes car up front, week after week. Last season was better, but Mercedes their 2018 W09 EQ Power+ F1 car and I’m already bored of it. As...
