Stewart In Series Racing

Autoracing Betting Lines

Sonoma, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tony Stewart offered some simple advice to his fellow competitors during Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race at Infineon Raceway. "If they block, they are going to get dumped." Stewart and Brian Vickers wrote the next chapter in NASCAR's "boys, have at it" with their multiple altercations during the 110-lap race at the Northern California road course.

 

Stewart claimed that Vickers was blocking him and said he won't tolerate that kind of racing from him or anyone else.

 

"I wasn't blocking him," Vickers said. "That may have been his perception where he was sitting. [Kyle Busch] went off the racetrack in front of me. He was flying through the dirt. He was coming back on the racetrack, and I was trying to avoid him. The cars in front of me were slow, and I was in the inside of the guy in front of me. It's pretty early in the race to worry about blocking someone or wrecking someone."

 

Vickers did retaliated on lap 87.

 

Stewart wound up finishing 39th, while Vickers placed three positions ahead of him in 36th.

 

"I don't race guys that way; I never have," Stewart said. "If guys want to block, then they are going to wrecked every time. Until NASCAR makes a rule against it, I am going to dump them every time for it."

 

"We haven't had any problems in a long time," Vickers said. "Actually, I think the last real problem we had was turn 11 [at Sonoma] in 2004, funny enough. That was the last time we actually got together."

 

"The problem is turn 11," said Jeff Gordon, who finished second. "There's two places you can pass on this track, going into [turns] seven and 11. You couldn't really pass going into seven [Sunday]. It was so slick, you had to be so careful. So everybody gets to turn 11. Because you're racing one another, it seems like guys really block the inside lane and force guys to go around the outside lane. So it builds frustration. You get in a position where this is your only shot for that entire lap to try to make a pass.

 

"Either somebody gets aggressive and drives in there too hard, makes contact, or they just get frustrated and start using the bumper. It's hard to say. But it was pretty crazy from where I was sitting. I know that."

 

Seven Sprint Cup Series regulars are entered in the Nationwide event at Daytona. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is not one of them. Earnhardt Jr. won at Daytona one year ago.
