Newman surprised Stewart wasn't fined

#39-Ryan Newman doesn't see any difference between his 2010 comments about the racing at Talladega Superspeedway that resulted in him being fined and what Tony Stewart said on Sunday. NASCAR has said Stewart will not be fined. "I guess there's a difference when you hold a straight face versus when you don't hold a straight face," Newman said during a Thursday promotion for the upcoming Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. "I'm not sure exactly how that all works. I get criticized for being blah and straight-faced and all that stuff. I didn't know that saved you money." Stewart, in what the post-race transcript said was a tongue-in-cheek interview, went on for almost five minutes taking sarcastic shots at the racing at Talladega. In 2010, Newman was secretly fined for saying, "If they want to have these races for the fans, just let us do this, but don't let it affect our championship because it's not racing. We should be here for the Talladega Event Marketing, or something like that." (ESPN)(5-11-2012)

Re: Newman surprised Stewart wasn't fined

Well, like I posted elsewhere.
The differences between the two were

A. There is no secret finings for Nascar to hide behind.
&
B. Tony after his comments said that would be awesome! :mrgreen:
While Ryan after his comments said Nascar is gonna kill somebody. (remember the roof of his car was up against his helmet while he was stuck in his seat when he was upside down)

Honestly if you take everything into consideration. Ryan had the more warrented comments after almost getting wiped out, but maybe after Ryan said nascar was gonna kill somebody, he should have added that will be awesome!
