Felix Sabates: Tony Stewart is one of the best rear view mirror drivers

Felix Sabates: Tony Stewart is one of the best rear view mirror drivers:

   Felix Sabates, part owner of Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, said he was surprised with NASCAR driver Tony Stewart's reaction to Joey Logano after Sunday's race and a little taken aback by some of his comments.

    "Tony is a great champion and one of the most competitive drivers of all time, tough as nails and fun to watch him race, plus Tony is a real nice man, I love his driving style. Tony is one of the best blockers - rear view mirror drivers - in all of racing. Hell, Tony threw a block in Talladega last year and took out 17 cars from the race, that is racing, did Tony forget that? I am sure he has not forgotten that one. Ryan Newman, his driver, is one of the hardest guys to pass. They all are doing what they get paid to do. Tony was hot after the race and I am very sure had he finished in the top 5, he would have patted Joey in the back and would have told him “good job kid.” Unfortunately for Tony he finished in the back of the pack. Surely he can’t blame Joey if he was passed by 20 other cars? Tony was trying to snooker the kid by going below the yellow line to pass, all the kid did was go down there and protect his position," Sabates said.

    Sabates called Stewart's "rich kid" comments about Logano "unfair."

    "Someone please answer this to me, is it a crime for your parents to have wealth and help their children realize their dreams? No it is not, no matter how much money anyone might have, no one CAN BUY a premier Sprint Cup ride with two of the best teams of all times Gibbs and Penske. These two great car owners are very proud competitive people, Gibbs a Super Bowl multiple winner, and Penske a winner at every level of racing as well as a winner well respected icon in the business world. Joey has a lot of talent. If his father helped him along with his racing career, what is different than Richard Petty helping Kyle, and then his grandson Adam, or Bobby Allison helping Davie, or Buck Baker helping Buddy, or Coo Coo Marlin helping Sterlin, or Bill Elliot helping his son, and now Richard Childress helping not one but two of his grandsons? I think it is ridiculous that anyone would make comments about a father helping a son or a daughter. Lots of today’s drivers will see their children racing in NASCAR. Would someone please tell on what book did they read that it is a sin to help your children career? My sons are too old, but if any of my 6 grandkids want to go racing and I see they have talent, heck yes, I will help them get there."

Fontana, Calif. (March 24, 2013) – Roush Fenway’s Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle posted finishes of fourth and fifth respectively to lead the RFR effort in a wild finish in Sunday’s 400-mile Sprint Cup Series race at Auto Club Speedway.
Fireworks flew after a late-race restart led to a frantic finish that saw tempers flare and fists fly. Through it all, Edwards and Biffle calmly maneuvered through the melee and to strong finishes.

FIA post-race press conference - Malaysia

FIA post-race press conference - Malaysia: Q: We're going to start with Sebastian. That's your 27th victory. You now match Sir Jackie Stewart with that but it looked pretty close out there on laps 43 and 44, take us through that.

Sebastian Vettel: Obviously it was very close wheel-to-wheel racing. I think there wasn't much room for either of us so obviously it was a tight battle

Race - Vettel secures controversial victory in Malaysia

Race - Vettel secures controversial victory in Malaysia: Sebastian Vettel led Mark Webber home to what should have been a celebratory Red Bull 1-2 in Sepang on Sunday, but the success was sullied by a post-race dispute after the reigning world champion had appeared to ignore pit-wall orders not to pass his team mate.

Lewis Hamilton took third place for his first Mercedes podium, with team mate Nico Rosberg dutifully holding station in fourth
