Tony Stewart: I'm interested in the No. 5 car

LOUDON, N.H. Tony Stewart proclaimed his interest Friday in Hendrick Motorsports ' soon-to-be-vacated No.

[lilbit88]

What do you all think of this?
Sounds like TS may be looking at HMS, though that also doesn't mean that's where he'll go.

Okay. Haas CNC would be okay with me even though they are powered by Hendricks. I HATE HENDRICK! I HATE THE DRIVERS! Don't know any of them personally and don't know Hendrick personally. So It's not a personal hatred. It's a rivalry hatred. Just like I am a huge Dolphins fan so therefore I hate the Jets-Bills-Patriots.....

If Tony goes into that #5 car we are done. I own ever single 1:24 diecast that Tony has ever driven. We are talking thousands of dollars just in cars. Plus the shirts, jackets, coolers, etc..... it will all go to yard sales and ebay. I will be finished with this guy forever. Hass CNC-OK.........Hendricks-NO NO NO I'm gone forever and will be a Stewart hater.

So you would rather him be a mid pack racer, than be a champion driver with Hendrick?

[kitty]

Yep. At least he could be his own man. I love to watch Tony win. I want him to win championships, but he could do that with Gibbs. I understand his loyalty to Chevy and I think that is great, I'm a Chevy lover too. But I would rather see Tony make it on his own than to rely on Hendricks. Tony is Tony. Hendricks drivers are so politically correct all the time...that is not Tony. Not a good fit IMO.

Hmm, I seem to still see Jr be himself, He's class and humble. I see that in ALL hendrick drivers, though.

that's not true, Jr is not politically correct, Jr is still the same Jr, humble and simple.
Hendrick doesn't force him to be anything that he isn't.

[kitty]

Yep. All Hendricks drivers are humble. Tony is a rebel. I don't want him to go there and have him turn all soft on us. Also Tony WANTS to be the spotlight of the team. Well guess who this years spotlight is? SHRUBBIE! So Tony wants to go elsewhere where he can be King. Sorry Jeff is king at Hendrick....Dale Jr and Jimmy are tied for second.....Tony won't settle for third. He wants to be the main man on campus. If he settles for any less than that, well he is not the driver I thought I respected.

I don't see how anyone could do that, I was shocked when Jr announced that he would drive for Hendrick, But I never thought about ditching him and selling all my Jr Merchandise. I knew at Hendrick he would get the equipment he needed to be competitive.

Sounds to me, this Kitty person isn't a true fan. If she were, she'd stick by tony, no matter where he went.

Dude, Just be a true fan. It doesn't matter where he goes, as long as you support him no matter what.

Has anyone checked to see if Debi still has a pulse?

[LuvMySmoke20]

I'm so excited about this! Somebody smack me, but I AM!!! I am a TONY STEWART fan 100% through and through- so HMS, JGR, HAAS... I don't care! But the thought of him OWNING a Hendrick funded team while driving for HMS... is AMAZING! What a dream team! Stewart, Junior, Gordon, Johnson--- It's like- a war in the shop! HAH. Not to mention- you don't have to LIKE the teammates. I hate Kyle... and don't really care for Denny.*shrugs*

[kitty]

Sorry kids, it just won't happen. I stay loyal to a team. Yes, Hendricks is a loyal Chevy team, but not a chevy team that I like. I wanted to beat the crap out of JGR for switching to Toyotas but because of Tony I stuck in there. But if Tony goes to Hendricks I am done. True fan or not I'm done. Just like if Miami decided to take the Dolphins out of Miami. I wouldn't be a dolphin fan anymore. If Miami picked up a team and called themselves the Miami Mayhems, well yee haw I would be the biggest Miami Mayhem fan in the land. Maybe I should just go back to football and say the hell with racing.

[taijes]

God yes Smoke needs to come back to Chevy. Junior and Tony as teammates?? Dream come true! Talk about a dream team...Earnhardt, Stewart, Johnson & Gordon.

Come back to the light, Tony...you know you want to.

That Kitty person is Debi Does. She hates Rick Hendrick and his race teams.

I don't know how she does it but she signs in with MANY different aliases. Her husband works on computers for a living. He must tell her how to do it?

She has been trying to *frame* Maro for weeks now. She is one sicko!

She is fooling a lot of people in here. Debi has been jacking with people........from the beginning. She has admitted how she likes to ruffle peoples feathers so she can see how they react!!!!! anyone ever notice........Debi is never in here when the maro imposter is in here??? That's because that mean AOLer is Knucklehead!!

Hell yeah I'm a fan! Watched that kid drive go carts. I love Tony, but I know how Tony is. He wants to be top Dog. He wont be Top Dog at Hendricks. He's the best and should be treated as the best. Hendricks wont do that. But on the other hand Jeff Gordan and Jimmy Johnson have deserved to be TOP DOG at Hendricks and that shouldn't be taken away. But it might be....hhhmmmm who is having the best season this year at Hendricks? JUNIOR! It's all about money, politics, and sponsorship, and MONEY! I don't like the direction Nascar is going. Dale Earnhardt was the man. No one can or will ever replace him. But Tony had a lot of the same characteristics that Dale had. Tony be a rebel, stay a rebel. I love you that way. Don't become a Hendrick wimp.

Hmmm. Interesting.

[kitty]

Oh and by the way I have no idea who the hell Debi is but NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO I am not her. I'm drunk and pissed and my name is Kitty. I like Tony and I admire him for the things he has done in the past. If he goes to Hendrick......he is dead to me. KITTY..........NOT DEBI..........

was that a nope to Debi not having a pulse or a nope cause no one's checked ... lol ... not that it matters, I'm sure when she heard Tony say he'd be intersted in the 5, she turned blue.
