Fixed, immovable
Gossip On Sports Opinion of the Day: Goodyear*should
definitely not offer
NASCAR driver
Tony Stewart a spokesman gig anytime soon.
Why?
Here are some of Stewart’s oh-so-subtle thoughts on the tire company and its status as sole provider of tires for*NASCAR. (A shout-out to Pat for sending this!)
“The bad thing is they’ve got an exclusive deal . . . They have no reason to have to push and make their product better because they have no competition. I don’t know what it’s going to take to get them to give us a quality tire that this series and NASCAR deserves. But they obviously aren’t capable of doing it right now.
Did you read between the lines? We think he doesn’t care for them. Well, that’s followed by:
“If I were Goodyear, I would really be embarrassed about what they brought here. I guarantee you Hoosier or Firestone or somebody can come in and do a better job than they are right now.”
And just in case you’re
still on the fence about what his true feelings are about Goodyear:
“If that’s what we’ve got to look forward to, weekends [with tires that perform] like this, there will be a lot of drivers going into retirement a lot earlier, because nobody’s going to want to keep doing it like this.”*
Now. If you’re*as stubborn as
Hank Steinbrenner—our new favorite synonym for “jackass”—and not yet convinced as to*Tony Stewart’s position regarding*Goodyear, we leave you with one this final quote:
“That was the most pathetic racing tire I’ve ever been on in my professional career. Goodyear can’t build a tire that is worth a crap.”
