Tony’s contract with Joe Gibbs ends in 2009, as we all know. He has not started to think or concern himself about this matter, nor will he till the mid to end of this year. He says, and I quote, “I’m really not concerned about the end of ‘09 right now because we’ve still got to get through ‘08” ,I’m here. It’s about now to me, it’s not about what’s going to happen.”
(These quotes taking from an article in the Nascar Scene No. 37, in the article named “Stewart in no rush to sign contract extension with Gibbs”
So all of you Stewart fans, this should show you exactly what he’s thinking. I knew that there would be in no way shape or form that Tony would be considering leaving JGR. I just had to get some FACTS to show everyone.

Tony
Not by the hairs on his head. I don’t see him leaving just yet. If he does were would he go, RCR, Hendrick, start his own? It is up to Tony to decide, I would follow his work where ever he goes and whatever he is driving. Ford Chevy, Toyota, Dodge, Peterbuilt, Segway, those little motor carts in Walmart, John Deere tractor, roller coaster, steal Jimmie Johnson’s car and take it out for a spin, Tata Nano, Moped, his open wheeler, whatever he decides on.

Fire sale??
Tony BETTER not leave, otherwise there’s gonna be a HUMONGOUS fire sale @ my place. I mean, I love Tony, but only as long as he’s driving for JGR.
Don’t rip my heart out, man!!! PLEASE!!!

Tony Leaving Gibbs
OK so I’m an old time NASCAR fan, It’s nice that they are now finally deciding to let the “drivers be drivers”, their emothions & personality are why we love em. Smoke is tired of the politics (he does not need the money). I think he’ll be concentrating on the “DIRT” very shortly, which raises the question????? “Why doesn’t NASCAR have dirt races?” That’s where everyone starts and where racing is fun

Keeping in mind
I don’t think you’ll see Smoke leave JGR because when u think of tha team u think of smoke still being there he seems happy enough right now starting out the race season so we’ll see ..I think he will stay I really do if these cars perform the way he would like them to he will stay ..Home Depot wouldn’t be the same without smoke ..lol..have a great day and happy race day everyone ..hope you all enjoy the shootout ..wooohooo can’t wait to get er done ..

keep in mind
that Tony’s good friend Kevin is part of a team still looking to add a fourth car. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Tony at RCR in the future

You never want to show ur hand to the other players. Not matter how good of a friendship you have, business is still business.
What if scenario: Stewart says he plans on resigning with JGR, that gives JGR leverage during the contract negotiations. (Just a thought).

I don't know
With Tony not comming right out with I won’t leave ,it leads a person to belive that somewhere in his mind he has thoughts,I hope he doesn’t,The team has supported him through some tuff times which I’m sure there will be more,so benifits him to stay.

let me clarify
my point. B4 the negotiations began w/ Teresa, I never would have imagined Jr. leavin’. Once the talks started about contracts, it became a different story. I knew he was gonna leave as well
