Stewart should talk to Margarine for sponsorship, that way he can butter his hips to get his fat ass out of the race car.

This race was a sham and is evidence of all that's backward and wrong about Nascar. Smith was clearly forced below the yellow line by Stewart as the dent seen on Stewarts left rear quarter panel in victory lane clearly proves this to be fact. To me it's clear that the "yellow line" rule is one of the stupidest rules Nascar has ever come up with and therefore must simply be a means for them to favor certain drivers by giving them an unjust, unearned win.

Why does it seem Nascar rewrites the rules every week. Regan Smith won that race.......and I'm a Tony Stewart fan.

NASCAR wanted to give a popular driver a popular win at a track he has never won at in cup. To make matters even worse, they moved Smith to 18th! NASCAR is joke racing for idiot red necks.

The rule is you cannot advance your position below the yellow line. It has been the same for years, so Stewart is the winner. However, I do believe Nascar would have interpreted it differently had it been Jimmie Johnson or Dale Jr., who made the move. Just like the debris cautions they were letting Chad Knaus call. Now that was wrong.

I don't know why everyone seems to think that there was some favouritism towards Stewart. The no passing on the apron rule has always been in place at talledaga, and why whould that change now. The way I see it, wouldn't nascar want to favour a driver who has never won a race before, seeing as how those are the circumstances which cause the most press? certainly more then a two time champion winning yet another race. And as far as the talk about Smith being forced accross the line, first off, all Stewart did was good ol' fashion blocking, if smith gets a little squrrily from charging a hole where there is no room, too bad for him. Stewart has worked too hard, for too long to look in the rear view and say "you can have it." Besides, even if he were forced out that doesn't give him the right to stay below the apron for the rest of the lap. I like seeing new faces win, but this one goes to Tony.

Yes, it was favoritism. NASCAR is garbage! The announcers even asked why the rule wasn't thrown out for the last lap. I wanted to throw Stewart a crying towel for all that whining at the finish. Want some cheese with that, Tony?
