Still, for brevity, we'll paraphrase. Tony has a temper. He's 29, a sudden superstar, and he speaks sometimes in tantrum mode. We expect Scene caught him at one of those moments, and despite the reporter's care in making sure Tony said what he said, the remarks landed on Planet Fan with a thud. Thing is, I agree with Tony on just about everything he told the tabloid.
Fans have no business in the garage none at all.
Most primary sponsors are solicitous of their drivers, taking care not to wear them out and respecting their need for privacy and off-hours pursuits. Fans in search of the anti-Gordon flocked fervently to Tony and really, more fair to say, Tony is a joy to watch race, and fans are going to follow. Still, the interview with Scene left Tony on a limb. Owens is thorough. What basically happened is that Stewart, in frustration over a difficult season and frazzled by sudden fame, spray-painted the wall with grafitti.
