Stewart in no rush to sign extension


#20-Tony Stewart, who has spent his entire NASCAR Cup Series career at Joe Gibbs Racing, says he is in no rush to begin talks regarding a contract extension with the successful racing operation. "Right now I just want to get started with this year," Stewart said Tuesday. "I'm really not concerned about the end of '09 right now because we've still got to get through '08. Obviously, it's a topic with the team here, and they want to get it taken care of, but right now I want to see how the beginning of this year goes. Get halfway through the season before we even worry about talking about it again." Stewart's contract ends after the 2009 season. A change in manufacturer - the team will field Toyotas in 2008 after a long, successful stint with General Motors products - is of a more pressing concern to the 36-year-old Stewart. "There's nothing that has to be done right now anyway," he said of contract talks. "I'm here. It's about now to me; it's not about what's going to happen. Right now ... we've got a big change with a new manufacturer coming in, let's worry about running good and winning races and worry about the rest of it [later]." Stewart and crew chief Greg Zipadelli have been paired together since Stewart departed the open-wheel ranks to make the move to NASCAR.

Translation: I want to make sure that we don't suck driving Toyotas so I can jump on board a Chevy team again.

American made maybe, but over seas OWNED. Get it? Nothing American about the word TOYOTA! Lets not go over this again. Toyota is not an American product...period. All the cash go overseas. Bottom line. Come on Jeff. Can you see the trees thru the forest?

gotta agree with Jeff on this one.......how can you even tell the difference anymore on the street of which is American and which ones aren't.

and as far as on the track, its the same cars with different nameplates....what makes them special (or not) is the team that fields and prepares them.
