Tony Stewart LM for 2017

[chip1*]

Tony will have a 2017 Rocket with power from Andy Durham

[WisWildManFan]

What shows will he be running. I imagine double duty at world finals

[squaredup12]

Any word on sponsors? Will they run parallel sponsorship with Stewart-Haas Racing?

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

I would guess Prolly bass pro

[Tireguy17]

Hoping he goes by his alias Smoke Johnson

[Barbecueboy]

Hoping he goes by his alias Smoke Johnson

That would be killer.......

[Clayton_Wetter]

Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart LLC. hahahahaaa

[cutman]

What happened with the mastersbilt he was tinkering with?

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

What happened with the mastersbilt he was tinkering with?

I was wondering the same thing. Must have just been a restore for his collection

[HoosierDirtFan]

What happened with the mastersbilt he was tinkering with?

That was a Crate car.

[Krooser]

Now if he runs the WoO circuit that will be a big draw at the gate.... maybe get some of those other washed up NASCAR shoes in dirt cars and they'd fill the stands again... how about a 'senior tour'? That would be even better...

I'm a frickin' marketing genius....

[MI Dirt Fan]

I posted awhile back that Tony was basically quoted in saying, he was running 40-50 Sprint car events this year and told his team to order the equipment. According to an ESPN article.

[calverton]

and his late model will be a crate to run close to home

[dirt crow]

The question is, will he give himself provisionals at Eldora?

[calverton]

In a crate wow how is that going to work out

[vande077]

and his late model will be a crate to run close to home

They run Crates in Indiana?

Tony doesn't live in NC, he resides in his boyhood home in Columbus, IN and has for the last few years. He flies in for the race weekends and meetings in NC he has to at in person.

The super late is nearly dead in the Hoosier state.

Calverton.....why in the hell would you copy and paste all that? A simple "yes they do" would have answered the man's question just fine. Now......you claim to be knowledgeable about dirt racing (even though everyone here knows you're an irritating idiot) why in the hell would Tony Stewart run crate lm's at Brownstown? And if he did,why would he need a new Rocket with Andy Durham power? Is Andy Durham on the "certified rebuilder" of a GM crate engines list? I know this is going to be a tall order, but think about it........... No........think about it some more..........New XR1, New Ford Andy Durham engines, he owns Eldora .......are you starting to get the picture?

I can't wait for this response. I'm sure it's going to be good.

What a butt plug.......

[ptown]

If he's going to run a late model I hope when things don't go his way Tony don't go all postal crazy like he did in that sprint car.

Tony started restoring an older masterbuilt last summer that he planned on running a few local Crate shows with he was posting pictures of his progress on facebook... it looks like the new XR1 will be for super shows when he isn't running his sprint car or the crate.. I'm sure he will have at least 1 of everything in the garage so he can pick and choose where to run when he is free.. hell why wouldn't he what a great retirement

[jensenracing18]

some quotes from Smoke on why he would want to run at brownstown.... “I’m partial to this place,” Stewart said of Brownstown Speedway. “I used to come here all the time. The one summer my dad and I quit racing, my buddy and I used to come here every Saturday night. That’s when Roger Williams promoted here. I ended up dating his niece because of being here. This place has always been cool to me. We wanted to get a date last year, but by the time I bought the All Stars, the schedules were pretty set.” Stewart said his fondest memory at Brownstown Speedway was winning in Barnett’s car, which was built by CJ Rayburn. “Yeah, I could see myself coming back,” Stewart said. “Next year, starting after they drop the checkered flag at (Homestead-Miami Speedway), I get to start doing whatever I want whenever I want again. I get to go have fun again.”

[Josh Bayko]

Is anybody actually surprised that Tony would get a new Rocket? I mean, he's tight with the Rocket gang.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Calverton.....why in the hell would you copy and paste all that?

The funny part is he even edited his comment and still came up with all that.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Why does he still claim he is going to be at the NASCAR race every weekend because he is still a team owner but not a driver.

[Senroc-Systems]

Jensenracing, I know all that. I saw the pix. We're taking about Tony Stewart here. He's not retiring, he's done driving a NASCAR cup car full time. He still owns the team, he's still a high level guy, and will have the highest level equipment in both Sprint cars, and LM's. He now owns the ASCoC Sprint car series, and Eldora. His last LM foray was Rocket cars,with Cornett power , prepared by Mark Richards, hauled to the track by MRRE, crew chiefed by Josh Richards. That is what the thread is about, not Tony running a crate car at Brownstown, which the village idiot would have you believe.

[Senroc-Systems]

Also, no where in that statement does it say anything about a crate car. The "getting a date" is referring to the All Stars Sprint Series. The Steve Barnett reference is referring to his relationship ship with Steve back when Tony Had the JD Byrider cars, which Steve Barnett maintained and hauled for Tony.

[CIRF]

Unless something changes or an out of court settlement is reached stewy might have to forgo some of his racing activities in lieu of being present at some New York State civil litigation proceedings.

[rickybrown1952]

Will he possibly run a Late model at the Dome?

[CIRF]

Will he possibly run a Late model at the Dome?It's probably doubtful. According to what I've been hearing there is an outside chance that Stewart would show up and drive a midget at Du Quoin for the December 17th running of the Knepper 55 in the Southern Illinois Center. Stewart is confirmed to compete at The Chili Bowl in January and there is speculation that he would race at Du Quoin as a tune up of sorts for The Chili Bowl. We shall see.

Also, the past few years he's raced at the indoor midget show over the New Years holiday at Ft. Wayne, Indiana but haven't seen any confirmation on that, either.

[TackyTracker]

he will put fans in the stands and we need that

[chupp n bloomer fan]

he will put fans in the stands and we need thatAnd they aren't real fans, they won't last long. They are stargazers.

[CIRF]

And they aren't real fans, they won't last long. They are stargazers.Very, very good point cnbf.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Very, very good point cnbf.And we will see how many fans he has left after he crashes someone just about every week.

[jeffreymo]

And we will see how many fans he has left after he crashes someone just about every week.

Unfortunately, some "fans" love that crap.

[CIRF]

Unfortunately, some "fans" love that crap.Your absolutely right, Jeff. However, I'd like to think that dirt racing fans are a bit more informed and fair minded than to be accepting of such behavior. But then again, the mentality that is on display here on a regular basis tends to fly in the face of that thought!! LOL!!

[Clayton_Wetter]

he will put fans in the stands and we need that

Not really.

[Senroc-Systems]

Not really.

Wait......... What?

[ptown]

he will put fans in the stands and we need that

Every Lucas, WOO and Summer Nationals race I've been to have been packed, they don't need crazy Tony or that idiot Kenny Wallace in his mortified.

[Bubstr]

And they aren't real fans, they won't last long. They are stargazers.

Really, if he puts a fanny in the stands, It's good for racing. It is up to the track to keep them coming back. Everyone comes for a reason. We don't get to pick the reason. Since when is it ok to come see Bloomquist, Moyer, T Mac Pierce or Owens, but not ok to come for Stewart? If they come for wrecks or just the 3 and 4 wide that cause them.

Sorry, you can't come to the race, because you have a 14 on your T shirt. LOL

[calverton]

Wait......... What?don't mind clayton he is stargazed for hendricks racing and bloomer he loves cheaters I GUESS

[calverton]

every lucas, woo and summer nationals race i've been to have been packed, they don't need crazy tony or that idiot kenny wallace in his mortified. kenny wallace is great for the sport a true ambassador but carry on

[Highside Hustler25]

Most folks would have been shocked if he went any other direction than to Mark Richards. Pretty much knew that would happen.


And they aren't real fans, they won't last long. They are stargazers.
Stargazers indeed but it's $$$ at the gate along with food and beer sales. Can't go wrong there.

These so called fans(stargazers), will watch bipolar Tony a couple times and when the novelty runs off, be gone. I agree, I don't care the reason they come either, but they are short term fans, if they aren't already coming to the races.

I don't care what's on your shirt, 0, 14, 21, 32, 39, 49, 99, whatever, watch the races. I don't go to the races to see any particular driver, I want good racing with at least a full field of quality cars, no matter the class or series.

The last paragraph sums it up nicely c and b......I'm 110% with you on that deal.
