Stewart probably won't test Goodyear tires again

BRISTOL, Tenn. – In case there was any question about it, Tony Stewart likely won’t be invited back to a Goodyear tire test anytime soon.
But officials say that isn’t a result of his vocal criticism of the company for the tire it brought last week to Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Instead, Goodyear officials say they were not happy with Stewart's participation in a tire test at Las Vegas last December.
“Tony was invited to the Las Vegas tire test in December because he was very vocal about his displeasure with the Las Vegas race track and our tire recommendation previously,” Greg Stucker, Goodyear director of race tire sales, said Friday morning at Bristol Motor Speedway. “We said, ‘Hey, we understand that, so we want you to be involved in this test.’
“He was there, but I would say he probably really wasn’t involved. He wasn’t into it … If he’s not going to be more constructive than he has been recently or was at that test, no, he won’t get another test. We look for people that want to be engaged, that provide us with feedback, to be there to do what we need.”
Stewart was joined by Jeff Burton, Kasey Kahne and Matt Kenseth at the Vegas test last year.
“Tony made it very clear that he would have [rather] been someplace else and he really wasn’t very cooperative as far as giving us feedback,” Stucker said.
Stewart admits that he wasn’t happy to be at a tire test in December when he’d just finished a grueling season and a postseason celebration in New York.
“I didn’t want to be there,” he said Friday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. “It was December. We had a long year. That’s the facts of it. I didn’t want to be in Vegas. I had to go out the day before, and we stayed two days to tire-test. It was clear after the banquet. It was into our holiday season. “That was three days I would have rather spent with my friends and family that I don’t get a chance to see enough anyway. I actually had something else planned that I wanted to go do and had to cancel it because of the test.
Stewart admits that he’s not a big fan of participating in a tire test, anyway. Asked if it wasn’t his job to give his best effort in that situation, he responded, “I don’t work for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.”
He also doesn’t enjoy the monotony of tire testing in general – especially since he doesn’t believe that his input matters.
“I don’t like tire testing anyway,” he said. “It’s more days out of our schedule. There’s a reason that they have to do it, obviously, but the drivers, the teams don’t really get anything for doing it other than taking two days out of their schedule, and we can give them all the feedback that we want, but very rarely – and Dale [Earnhardt] Jr. said the same thing last week in the media center, if you’ll remember and go back to your notes – there is very few times that we give them our input and they actually bring back what we recommend, so it makes it frustrating to want to go try to help a company that doesn’t take the input that you give them anyway and listen to what you have to say.”

Someone has a beef about something, and he expresses his views (and he isn't the only one, just the most vocal). Why knock the guy for exercising his democratic rights? If he's going to drive in a pack of 43 cars at 180 mph for 4 hours, he's got a right to express his feelings about safety, no matter what the issue is. Besides, without a little TS controversy, where's the fun??!!

Sure, he’s had an amazing career and achieved nearly all you can in this sport, but to me, he’s a champion because what he’s done off the track as well.

Report as AbuseWhy would any driver want to waste their time testing these tire anyway. They have a grueling schedule and get very little time off They get "invited" to test these tires, give their opinions and recommendations then they blow them off. I think they will be doing Tony a favor by not inviting him back. They say it is because of his lack of interest being there but you can't tell me Tony's comments last week doesn't have something to do with it.

Mar 17, 2008 at 6:40 PMGee, you wouldn't know the Stewart-haters from the comments, would you? How about a simple, objective take on this situation. Someone has a beef about something, and he expresses his views (and he isn't the only one, just the most vocal). Why knock the guy for exercising his democratic rights? If he's going to drive in a pack of 43 cars at 180 mph for 4 hours, he's got a right to express his feelings about safety, no matter what the issue is. Besides, without a little TS controversy, where's the fun??!!

Mar 17, 2008 at 6:40 PMAs stated in the article - Tony quoted Jr.: "there is very few times that we give them our input and they actually bring back what we recommend, so it makes it frustrating to want to go try to help a company that doesn’t take the input that you give them anyway and listen to what you have to say.”
Report as AbuseWhy would any driver want to waste their time testing these tire anyway. They have a grueling schedule and get very little time off They get "invited" to test these tires, give their opinions and recommendations then they blow them off. I think they will be doing Tony a favor by not inviting him back. They say it is because of his lack of interest being there but you can't tell me Tony's comments last week doesn't have something to do with it.

That’s what everyone’s going to remember about Dale’s career as a driver"

Mar 17, 2008 at 9:18 PMAs stated in the article - Tony quoted Jr.: "there is very few times that we give them our input and they actually bring back what we recommend, so it makes it frustrating to want to go try to help a company that doesn’t take the input that you give them anyway and listen to what you have to say.”
Report as AbuseWhy would any driver want to waste their time testing these tire anyway. They have a grueling schedule and get very little time off They get "invited" to test these tires, give their opinions and recommendations then they blow them off. I think they will be doing Tony a favor by not inviting him back. They say it is because of his lack of interest being there but you can't tell me Tony's comments last week doesn't have something to do with it.

It's like voting, if you don't vote, don't complain! If you don't want to test tires, Don't go crying when you don't like that track's tire!

Report as AbuseWhy would any driver want to waste their time testing these tire anyway. They have a grueling schedule and get very little time off They get "invited" to test these tires, give their opinions and recommendations then they blow them off. I think they will be doing Tony a favor by not inviting him back. They say it is because of his lack of interest being there but you can't tell me Tony's comments last week doesn't have something to do with it.

NASCAR is becoming a monopoly of the highest paying sponsors and it makes me sick. The competion factor sucks and so does the new car.

Someone has a beef about something, and he expresses his views (and he isn't the only one, just the most vocal). Why knock the guy for exercising his democratic rights? If he's going to drive in a pack of 43 cars at 180 mph for 4 hours, he's got a right to express his feelings about safety, no matter what the issue is. Besides, without a little TS controversy, where's the fun??!!

Mar 20, 2008 at 2:52 PMAs stated in the article - Tony quoted Jr.: "there is very few times that we give them our input and they actually bring back what we recommend, so it makes it frustrating to want to go try to help a company that doesn’t take the input that you give them anyway and listen to what you have to say.”
Report as AbuseWhy would any driver want to waste their time testing these tire anyway. They have a grueling schedule and get very little time off They get "invited" to test these tires, give their opinions and recommendations then they blow them off. I think they will be doing Tony a favor by not inviting him back. They say it is because of his lack of interest being there but you can't tell me Tony's comments last week doesn't have something to do with it.

Mar 20, 2008 at 2:52 PMGee, you wouldn't know the Stewart-haters from the comments, would you? How about a simple, objective take on this situation. Someone has a beef about something, and he expresses his views (and he isn't the only one, just the most vocal). Why knock the guy for exercising his democratic rights? If he's going to drive in a pack of 43 cars at 180 mph for 4 hours, he's got a right to express his feelings about safety, no matter what the issue is. Besides, without a little TS controversy, where's the fun??!!

Mar 20, 2008 at 2:52 PMSays John Andretti about Dale Jarrett, "To me, a champion is something more than just the person who ends up with the most points at the end of the year. It’s somebody who can take the sport to the next level. It’s somebody who’s going to act with character and dignity. Dale’s done that. Sure, he’s had an amazing career and achieved nearly all you can in this sport, but to me, he’s a champion because what he’s done off the track as well. That’s what everyone’s going to remember about Dale’s career as a driver"
Report as AbuseNo one will EVER EVER EVER say that about Tony Stewart.

Mar 20, 2008 at 2:52 PMi do not think tony is saying he needs more time off, he just has a life on off time the same as we do when we take vacations. not many people would give up vacation time to go to work, put the shoe on the other foot. also, in employment as employees you often get asked your opinion on things, bottom line is employers do what they want in the end.....so i think we need to be fair about tonys situation and not so judgemental.

Mar 20, 2008 at 2:52 PMi'm sure if any of you had to do what these guys do day in and day out for 10 months you would like a little time away from the track too. at least tony has the marbles to say what he is thinking and if goodyear doesn't listen to the drivers input why do it? you go tony and put them tires in the spot light and wake up goodyear and don't worry , you have no competition in nascar...

Mar 20, 2008 at 2:52 PMAs stated in the article - Tony quoted Jr.: "there is very few times that we give them our input and they actually bring back what we recommend, so it makes it frustrating to want to go try to help a company that doesn’t take the input that you give them anyway and listen to what you have to say.”
Report as AbuseWhy would any driver want to waste their time testing these tire anyway. They have a grueling schedule and get very little time off They get "invited" to test these tires, give their opinions and recommendations then they blow them off. I think they will be doing Tony a favor by not inviting him back. They say it is because of his lack of interest being there but you can't tell me Tony's comments last week doesn't have something to do with it.

Mar 20, 2008 at 2:52 PMMy family seels GoodYear tires for a living and we believe that they are the safest tires on the road. In saying that, NasCar must also believe that, especially in this time of safety equipment and track safety upgrades. If you don't give NasCar good feed-back then you get what you get. It's like voting, if you don't vote, don't complain! If you don't want to test tires, Don't go crying when you don't like that track's tire!

Mar 20, 2008 at 2:52 PMTony feels about Goodyears the way I feel about his Tokyo Tin-can Toyotas. The "N" in NASCAR stands for "National" not, "Nippon". If I was Goodyear's head having to listen to Tony's bleating, I too would say "good riddance to bad rubbish" and welcome a more constructive and tactful critique from participants in testing.

Mar 20, 2008 at 2:52 PMIf Tony needs more off time then he should step out of the car and give someone else a chance that would be more appreciative. Why not race ARCA less races, Hoosier tires. Tony if you cant take the heat then step away from the fire.
