CONCORD, N.C. – Tony Stewart said he is getting closer to determining what he will be doing next season and beyond.
Stewart, who is signed with Joe Gibbs Racing through 2009, is entertaining offers of leaving the organization to go to another team that would include the two-time Cup champion as a team owner.
“I’m getting closer, that’s the good thing,” said Stewart, who first acknowledged he was considering leaving JGR four weeks ago at Talladega. “I feel like I’m on the backside of the hill getting everything done. We’re a lot closer than we were.”
If Stewart wants to race somewhere else in 2009, he would need to get released from his contract with Joe Gibbs Racing. He has admitted the issue has been discussed but denied that he has gotten the release for the team where he has spent his entire 10-year Cup carrier.
“We haven’t gotten it,” Stewart said of the release. “I have not asked for it.”

May 23, 2008 at 12:33 AMI hope Tony stays with Gibbs. But I'm just preparing myself for a move if he does decide otherwise. I've been a fan of his since his rookie year and have gone with his ups and downs with media and fans. I only wish the best for him.
