Tony Stewart provided additional fireworks after his rubbing and racing with Kevin Harvick at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In his victory speech on ESPN, Stewart commented that his second win at the Brickyard was for the fans who had put up with all the "Bull----" all these years on his behalf.
Hmmm... flashback to 2004 when Dale Earnhardt Jr. claimed winning at Talladega didn't mean "S---" since his Daddy had won there ten times.
"Sh--" cost Junior $10,000 and 25 points. Will it cost Stewart the same?
Flashback to Sonoma - Kyle Petty says "F---" during an in-race report. Penalty: Nothing.
Flashback to Montoya, earlier this year at Phoenix, flips off the camera during practice. Penalty: $10,000 and probation.
The penalty pattern seems to be that there isn't one.
Stewart is already on probation for shooting off his mouth. Or more appropriately, not shooting off his mouth by skipping post race media obligations. And he's likely on team probation due to his comments after a crash at Daytona which lead to a woodshed meeting with teammate Denny Hamlin and Coach Joe Gibbs. Gibbs was not amused at the public comments Stewart made. Any bets as to his reaction to these comments?
Let's see, say something at post race media obligations - penalty. Say nothing, penalty. Can't win for trying on that can you?
