Best part though, he's not wrong. Those tires sucked. I've never seen the cars that loose.

Here is what he said:
"That's the most pathetic racing tire I've ever been on in my professional career. They uh, they exited out of Formula one. They exited out of the IRL. They exited out of CART. They exited out of the WoO's. And there is a reason for that, cause Goodyear can't build a tire thats worth a crap. If I were Goodyear I'd be really embarrassed about this weekend and what they brought us here."
also
"It was ridiculous to have to race on a tire like this today. Not at this form of racing. If they can't do any better than that then they ought to just pull out of this sport and save us all a bunch of headaches. Because I guarantee you that Hoosier or Firestone or somebody could come in a do a much better job than they are right now."

That had to be somewhat a well thought out planned retort.
No cursing, and hit all the high points.
Wonder if AJ will let him in his pit this MayNatural Born Cynic
What irks me (maybe its too soon for the truth), DW was a 16-oval WIN specialist, yet the vast majority those boohooing for him, hardcarders & fans, alike are the same ones trying to kill anything with more than 9 deg banking & 4 corners, where Dan ultimately made his home...

Tony is my favorite driver, but didn't he finish 3rd? Didn't his teammate finish 1st? Didn't everyone else have to race on the same tire? Do the best drivers in the world not know what to do with a loose race car?Some people will do nearly anything in order to be able to not do anything.

Goodyear's have been crap for years. Firestone ran them out of business in openwheel racing.
Good for Tony. He is just saying what everyone in NASCAR is afraid to.IRL 2009: "Cars you can't see, driven by drivers you have never heard of, on a network you don't get"
"I'd hire your grandmother, if she brought a budget"- Bankrupt Indy Car team owner Tyler Tadevic, to Curt Cavin in December, on the tough standards he looks for when "hiring" driver talent.

You can tell Tony is nearing the end of his career...burning bridges.
You wonder why people don't like him???? His classless mouth.
A sponsors nightmare and liability his whole career.
Can he drive? Of course...but to finish second and run his mouth like that...whiner.
