Tony Stewart Matt Yocum best interview ever

[@racermac1988]

These two are actually really good friends outside of being on TV.

[@davidpeters2625]

I can believe that...

[@pashedmotatos]

I had dinner with him in Philly and he was the biggest f’ing dick I ever met.

[@Weezy10580]

He was so relieved the season was over.

[@brianwells5123]

Exactly what I was going too say lol…complete relief

[@xSoccerxCorex]

man hung back all year watching ricky rudd and dale jarrett fight for 2nd in points and stole it for himself in the end. he was ready to get that check and GTFO, lol

[@MrSnible]

God the entire sport should have that kind of attitude. Just chill and fun that's what racing is.

[@hammondOT]

The look Tony gives him right at the beginning when Matt says "Second straight 5th place finish"....lol.

[@waynemetevia7983]

Really

[@mattmitchell9988]

I love that interview, smoke always a character, and good luck to him on his recent retirement, thank you for the great years brother.

[@wolfman21]

Tony Stewart 13 years younger and 50 pounds lighter

[@engineereells79]

*100

[@rhett__7837]

Still my favorite driver ever. So funny and entertaining, a great competitor, a successful team owner. I love Smoke. This interview didn’t age well for Krista, though. 🥴

[@carolinagirl7596]

Didn’t age well at all. 🥴

[@darrenayotte]

Robby Gordon won this race. Wow. It's been a while.

[@stephengiles8428]

And Robert Pressley finished 7th!

[@luisy.gonzalez6469]

@@stephengiles8428 And Brett Bodine 8th!

[@carolinagirl7596]

Smoke, my favorite driver of all time. I miss this mischievous man. I know Tony is single. Did Yocum get married? Always love the interviews with Tony.

[@carolinagirl7596]

Matt Yocum and Ingrid are now married. You’re welcome. ☺️✌🏼

[@chrisuncleahmad]

I almost forgot Stewart finished 2nd in 2001. Outside of the Sears Point/Bristol wins and his spring Bristol brouhaha with Gordon, I don't remember much from Stewart that year. Amazing to think he managed to chase down Rudd/Jarrett/Marlin for #2.

[@tholc21]

Chris Kreager He had 15 top 5's and 22 top 10's so I'd say he had a pretty good year that year!

[@jackjohnson9603]

What about him flipping to start the season, I find it hard to forget that

[@evanwilliams6406]

+Chris Kreager Tony Stewart had a crazy year that year, he kind of capitalized on Dale Jarrett and Ricky Rudd's free fall in the points after Jarrett injured his ribs and the Yates team as a whole struggled in the second half of the year. Tony also had the yellow line controversy at Daytona, where he was the first to get caught for that violation, at least the first major driver anyhow. But by the time Tony got to Jeff to challenge for the title, it was too late. He got the title the next year, but it was a very controversial year. Tony made up for it in 2005 which was a great year for him, and of course 2011 was the tiebreaker title.

[@coolyo366]

This is why tony is my favorite driver!

[@tcauto2011]

i was at that race 10yrs ago...it was freezing my 2nd ever nascar race...love that track

[@hamlettelmah441]

I miss the JGR days Tony Stewart

[@trijicog]

That was the postponed race because of the terrorist attack on Sep 11,2001.I was at that race and when we got there,the seats were frozen over with ice.Pretty damn cold,I think it was in November.

[@Ghostrider6A]

Just days after Thanksgiving if I remember correctly.

[@retroguy1976]

that race was the day after thanksgiving rescheduled after the 9/11 attacks

[@Mike_Squires]

AJ Foyt once said 'If you show me a loser, I'll show you a guy who don'y know what winning is like.'

[@BlackoutPatriot]

Retirement fund so I can get out of this damn series one day. 😂

[@zachcatanzareti]

this is what i love about nascar drivers. There so down to earth and have so much personaltity. They are all fun and like to have fun , and thats what nascar is about to have a good time. F1 guys are nothing like this..

[@holliekuber4992]

wonderful foreshadowing smoke lol 😂😂😂

[@chrismcdonaldracing]

that was a good interview looked fun.

[@rudylexi8]

TONY IS THE MAN!

[@Rick4345]

One of my favorite racers from Indiana. The other is Scott Goodyear.

[@14JohnnyRed14]

@RamSST He's just an all around good guy. I've talked to him a few times at the chili bowl and at a race and he's fun to be around.

[@jarradw411]

Robby Gordon.......won........a.......RACE?!

[@rustybridges4037]

He's won either 3 or 4 in his career, he's quite amazing actually. I bet you didn't know Robby has won in every type of race he's ever competed in. He's also a very nice person.

[@WhoopityDoo]

>He's also a very nice person. I beg to differ.

[@camarowland4]

wow what a comment; "thats going into the retirement fund so i can eventually get out of this series." back when ol Stewart had a promising INDY career?

[@Yoshik379]

Didn't he leave Indy a few years earlier?

[@HomeDepot20TS]

Was Mike Wallace, not Newman. Newman's '01 car was No. 02, Mike took over the 12 after Penske dropped Mayfield after the Kansas race

[@KINGOFLOUISVILLE10]

It was actual suppose to be a compliment, You don't normally don't see a nascar driver these days wear a beanie. All i was trying to say was that he was fresh with the Beanie and jacket combination, is that better Mr Sensitive

[@sunsetinformative]

Amazing!!!!

[@HomeDepot20TS]

Haha I never got to see this, our TV was out that Friday.

[@nascarfanatic2425]

Tony's pretty funny. You know, it's kinda crazy, 'cause Tony finished the 2001 season 2nd in the standings, and the next year, he won the championship.

[@marshalljimduncan]

Look at the unofficial results folks. In the top 10, 6 of the divers now longer drive. The 4 others are with other teams.

[@AMR_Krissy]

Marshal Jim Duncan and now of all of them, as of 2017, only one races.

[@AutoRockinRacing94]

And now, no one's left. Gordon and Stewart run elsewhere.

[@michaelbayne6912]

Yep. Down to zero. I used to have one of those 1989 The Winston posters on my wall as a kid and kept track of who was on it. Got down to 0 a few years ago. How things have changed

[@BronnyJamesBricks]

I included the race page for this race in the description November 23, 2001

[@1AceMoneyMaker]

Woah woah woah... Robbie Gordon won?

[@stevecrump9046]

Ikr 😲🤣

[@douglaskenney3877]

what are they talking about?

[@jr4038]

This reminds me so much of Dale Earnhardt.

[@EnzoFirrari2k6]

LOL I had to ask myself the same question. At least he's a fun/happy drunk! lol He's probably not even intoxicated, we're just not used to him being...nice.

[@bowlerofdeath]

@HomeDepot20TS yeah i didnt get to see that either...i was up there freezing my ass off at the race lol...genius of nascar there putting the race day after thanksgiving in new hampshire where it was 20 degrees lol.....best part of race was robby gordon spinning jeff gordon to win the race

[@BronnyJamesBricks]

sorry you are 100% wrong, this race was postponed because of 9/11 and they ran thanksgiving weekend

[@aaronasmr8833]

And then he wins the championship next season

[@RamSST]

@14JohnnyRed14 I think tony sees the big picture and knows that by racing the sprint cup he can give the young guys a good start in racing. He owns alot of property involved with racing.

[@MM-rr1kp]

smart guy 358k to retirement no bentley, jag, jewelry

[@nascargurl14]

my oh my how things have chenged since then :0) thank god

[@ChevyChevelle48]

i remember this race ...when robby gordon won i was shocked at that

[@williamweber4528]

ChevyChevelle48 he only won cus he wrecked Jeff gordon

[@947969]

tony tha shit.....

[@BronnyJamesBricks]

@HomeDepot20TS about as classic a moment as you will ever see

[@altoonabeme]

I see Smoke got his teeth fixed since then.

[@PennyWisee14]

Is T Stew intoxicated??

[@tgifhounds]

That was too damn funny.

[@superbird4351]

Damn Tony Stewart with just one chin. The good ol days

[@RamSST]

@14JohnnyRed14 tony is by far one of the best as fasr as giving back is concerned he throws so much money back into the sport to help the little guys

[@fitzzy81]

@USALeadsTheWay actually when he left childress they wanted him to stay really bad but he started his own team anyways

[@douglaskenney3877]

What the heck are they talking about?!

[@nunya2779]

girlfriends

[@e521soediv]

Yep.

[@USALeadsTheWay]

Tony stewart is one of those guys who earns shit loads of money and still doesn't act like a spoiled brat

[@MrMW2nd]

he punted jeff gordon into ryan newman, gordon slid up and got rf damage from hitting newman and newman spun; robbie gordon holds off the field on the restart

[@kristenangier9673]

Mike Wallace was driving the 12 during this race. (Replaced Jeremy Mayfield near the end of the season).

[@MrPorsche91730]

@crookhunter why do you say that? you may think Rusty is a cry baby. buit he had a reason to say what he did, he was not crying for no reason

[@stevereed8786]

Kevin Ward!

[@nunya2779]

is dead because he was careless

[@davenorth8922]

was high as hell and walked into traffic. just plain stupid.

[@sunnybeech74]

Who? Oh yeah, that idiot that killed himself back in 2014.

[@Posirep]

@jordanashelin18 Hey, you forget in 2002 Sterling Marlin could've won the championship if he didn't break his neck.

[@alexrex20]

were they talking about Krista Voda? lol

[@nathanielhiggerson7679]

alexrex20 no

[@Bronco46tube]

I was sure (erroneously) that the Louden race was in the first part of the season.

[@onelovemon1784]

Same beard somehow everyday.

[@DaveyMurray1]

He did wreck that years champion to do it.

[@MrMW2nd]

you should see how he won that race

[@kiujhht]

@QuickN1ck lol

[@CountryLover8255]

hey he said he has a ring, think he'll marry ME?

[@markharris7751]

Then next year he blows an engine at Daytona finishes last and wins the championship

[@LASTCARonBROCK]

Oh, Tony. :allears:

[@darrenpeters4845]

epic not a smoke fan but that was cool

[@familyaffair24]

That's Tony

[@USALeadsTheWay]

well that figures

[@spinningourgears2171]

So I can get out of this series eventually……buys four car team

[@BronnyJamesBricks]

lol, no now he owns a team, he's all in at this point

[@Bronco46tube]

This was several months before 9/11.

[@chocolateninja22]

I dont like Tony Stewart at all but I still laughed at this interview.

[@mulletsrule3388]

@thekswervedirt he owns his own shit in the series he can leave anytime

[@USALeadsTheWay]

Robby gordon won that race? now that pisses me the fuck off

[@itsRJC]

i fucked up the first time so i have a second try i took it back. lolo

[@jamesbenedict7206]

Tony Stewart is a Richard

[@USALeadsTheWay]

Please tell me he had to wreck somebody to do it.... \

[@jobckts682]

Worst title EVER.

[@camarowland4]

hahahahahahahaha!!!

[@crookhunter]

NASCAR's biggest crybaby ever.

[@fitzzy81]

@bigdctherock nah but people from the south, even people from the north who move to the south, find our cold to be a little unbearable.

[@JumboFig24]

were they talking about ingrid jeff gordon's wife? lol

[@paratrooperlane7022]

Tony Stewart, the only driver to kill another driver on the track and get away with it.

[@REEEEEEEEEEEE0]

He didn't kill anyone. He did the world a favor

[@2014cwajts71]

Go fuck yourself.

[@JJA1987]

The kid was on drugs and got himself killed when are you gonna understand that

[@kalebdegroot7825]

He didn’t kill anyone. The kid killed himself

[@KINGOFLOUISVILLE10]

Tony looks like a Thug. #ThugLife

[@NathanRyanAllen]

lol he's been tryin to get out of the series for 10 years.

[@BronnyJamesBricks]

fans are funny the confuse a drivers passion to win, and their disappointment with not winning, with someone who accepts losing, show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser

[@crookhunter]

The biggest crybaby since Rusty Wallace

[@person5598]

he didnt beat yocum...

[@g0ing2n0where]

@rowdyeverylap show me a good loser and ill show you next years winner!

[@MsTendersurrender]
