I guess that just about sums it up ! Stewpot going into the stands is no different than when Latrell Sprewell of the NBA ran up into the bleachers and punched the fans that help pay his wages. Each sport has its thugs. NBA has Sprewell and Lamar Odomes, NFL has Pac Man Jones and Vantaze Burfict, racing has Tony Stewart and, and, and I believe that it is only him that is the black eye of the sport. THUGGERY at its finest. Stewart is seemingly never going to have any control of his mouth. Not even the anger management intervention that he was forced to take didn't heal his problems.Last edited by Raceready; 01-18-2016, 01:12 AM.

I apologize up front for the length but after a couple of days to digest much of the incident that we witnessed Friday night at The Chili Bowl there are several points we wanted to touch upon.
By most reasonable people's standards the off duty cop is a complete jerk off and went well beyond the point that warranted being ejected from the building. However, in today's societal climate the rule seems to be that when a patron purchases a ticket to an event they have the right to say anything they choose to the people who are part of the event with the blessing of the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This applies to most, if not all, events that involve adult, professional participants. I personally don't agree with that policy but, it is contingent upon the adult participants to refrain from reacting to the verbal abuse. Obviously this doesn't apply to events that involve children and adolescents.
Even at the college level, going back to my own days of attending college sporting events as a student, there were verbal abuse sections and those sections were deliberately positioned where they could have the greatest effect. Athletes at the major college level, especially basketball players, were counseled by assistants and other officials as to how not to react and not let the verbal abuse affect their game. It's worse at the professional level. It's a reality that cannot be escaped.
The bottom line is this, it is absolutely unacceptable behavior for someone involved with the event, other than security, to ever go into the spectator area to confront a patron/patrons. Given Stewart's tendency to purposely alienate various segments of racefan's he surely has to know that from time to time he's going to be a target. Sometimes it's best to act like ya' just don't care.

This deserves a like button. You 100% get it. Tony is paid millions of dollars to ignore idiots like this guy. But the fan didnt cross the track to confront Tony. FYI, Tony has always cussed people out with a smile on his face, that doesnt mean he hasnt lost his head and is mad.Originally posted by CIRF View PostI apologize up front for the length but after a couple of days to digest much of the incident that we witnessed Friday night at The Chili Bowl there are several points we wanted to touch upon.

Cop Is Deputy Of The Year-2014
In a bit of irony the cop that Stewart got into it with at The Chili Bowl actually won a fairly prestigious award from the Tulsa County Sheriff's Department less than 2 years ago, believe it or not.
This article is posted on The Tulsa County Sheriff's website: http://www.tcso.org/tcsoweb/Awards.aspx
I copy and paste it here in case it didn't work for some of ya'll. It didn't work for me right away.
Kyle Hess - Deputy of the Year
The dedication Corporal Kyle Hess has to the Tulsa County Sheriff Office approaches the same level of excellence he has shown as a supervisor. Stability, calmness and experience are just some of the qualities he brings to any unit he is assigned. Corporal Hess is currently with the Criminal Investigations Unit and was acting supervisor during a horrific home invasion/homicide in December of 2012. Shortly after midnight on December 18, 2012, TCSO patrolmen responded to a call in south Tulsa at the request of a local police department. Corporal Hess was then notified that our office had been asked to assist in processing the scene and the crime. Upon arrival at the location, our office was then requested to assume responsibility of the case and manage the investigation.
Corporal Hess went to work delegating assignments and updating his supervisors on the progress of the investigation, as well as handling the flood of media calls and inquiries. Corporal Hess determined that additional investigators were needed in order to assist with the interview process. After speaking with neighbors and businesses in the immediate area, they were able to confirm that one of the vehicles from the crime scene had been stolen. Upon completion of the interviews, Hess was in the process of releasing the scene when a call came in that changed the course of the investigation. The caller gave a location where, he stated, he had found some items containing the homeowners’ phone number and personal articles, which appeared to be stolen. Corporal Hess immediately sent every available investigator to that address and alerted the local police department with jurisdiction. With the help of the local authorities, the stolen vehicle was soon located and apprehended by our investigators. The three males who occupied the stolen vehicle were taken into custody and transported to the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office for questioning. It was determined from the interviews that the suspect involved in the home invasion/homicide had been apprehended. The suspect was arrested, transported to our Detention Facility and booked into jail. What made this case unique was the fact that it was solved within thirteen hours of the initial call. The first forth-eighty hours are the most crucial in a typical “who-done-it†investigation. Corporal Hess’ decisions clearly show the maturity and experience needed to manage a multijurisdictional scene. His leadership and the notable support of the investigation team were the key to a successful conclusion in this case.
