  • Criticism

    "How did the tires hold up on that final lap? Well, not very good but good enough. Kyle (Busch) got to our bumper right off the 2, I thought we were going to be able to pull off the field like that, we didn’t get as big a gap as I thought we would. I was surprised that we were able to chase it as far as we did and he never turned loose of us. I wasn’t going to lift. I knew if I lifted I was going to get wrecked for sure. Trust me, I would have loved to have a little more grip there at the end." - Tony StewartOrlando Sentinel: Stewart: Tires were "good enough" (February 14, 2009)
