Tony's Temper in 2004

his temper in this particular year is underrated. glad this compilation showcases everything in 04.

[@nascarfanatic2425]

A lot of it carried over into 2005. I think only when he finally got a grip on it mid-2005 is when he made his way to the championship.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Well I'm glad I didn't watch that moment when I was young because I respected Darrell as a kid but once the early 2010's came around I realized how annonying he really was.

[@drivedb7]

Even though Stewart was right, (DW was very hard to watch in the K-Mart car) so was Darrell in this case and I think Stewart could have been a little more respectful. After all, only four men on Earth have more Cup victories than Darrell and Tony Stewart is not one of them.

[@nascarsignore]

I forgot all of those run-ins he had with Kahne. Funny thing is that when Kasey finally won is first Cup race at Richmond in May 2005, Stewart was 2nd.

The 2004 Xfinity race at Kansas takes me back to a time, when NBC/TNT were prodding Bill Weber to be their booth guy, virtually demoting Allen Bestwick later on. Allen Bestwick NBC was top shelf. I can honestly also say here in the present day, that I even like Rick Allen NBC, a lot better than I liked Bill Weber NBC. It might be because my mind, as a 31 year old NASCAR fan, understands and comprehends the sport much better today, than when I was a fan, at 12 years old between 2004 to 2006. That could be the reason. I just don't know for sure.

Eh I think Bill Weber is much better than Rick Allen but he defienitly shouldn't have taken Allen Bestwick's spot for the last two seasons. Bill did well for Pre race shows there was no need for a change.

Ive seen 5 year old kids who act better than he did. It made him look like a fool to be honest. His spat with DW was absolutely disgusting and was totally classless. When you resort to personal attacks after criticism, you've already lost. He knew what DW was saying was the truth and had no comeback, so he decided act like a coward. That interaction alone made me lose ALL and any respect i may have had for him. The pressure and criticism was getting to him, and it showed right there.
