Right-hand man

1:03 PM
Question asked of Tony Stewart: How hard is it to turn right?

"It's not hard, and if you don't figure it out, you're going to crash. We do it all the time in street cars. It's not like we can't figure it out in racecars."

Sometimes dumb questions require a smart-aleck answer.

I can't believe that a newsman could ask such a stupid question.. but then again, who said newsmen/sportscaster had any brains

I really don't care for Stewart, so i would really like to see him make a right turn into the wall. Don't get me wrong I dont like see anybody get hurt, just put his car out of commission and down about 50 laps.

what kind of question is that to ask a nascar driver? I am pretty sure with the road race wins tony has, he knows how to turn right.

want to comment on what a fan says about hopes Tony makes a right turn, Now that is not a fan of nascar wanting somebody to wreck their car and could cause injury. maybe that person should make a right turn and keep going. Nothing wrong with a driver stateing what they beleive to be right.

I'm a big fan of Tony's and I love it when he comes back with his "smart-aleck" remarks to point out just how stupid some of these questions are!! You go, Smoke!

So let me get this striaght you are saying the only way to beat Tony is for him to crash or I guess you can just cheat like the Hendricks guys (is'nt funny how they always get a "debris caution" when they need it.

You go Tony good luck.See you in Indy in Aug.
P.S.Mrs. Norman new orleans,La maybe if you would have a heart for real racer that can get crash by some nobody and still smile in the end.Or maybe you would rather push and yell like (# 24)

He's always a smart aleck. I don't like the guy but didn't like it when he got hurt. Hope he's 100% for the final 10 races if he makes the chase so he has no excuse to cry when he gets beat by one of those Hendrick guys!!!!!!
