If it doesn’t make my race car go fast, I really don’t care about it right now.
Tony Stewart provides a refreshing amount of focus, triggered by a boiling over after a series of inane questions that get asked of him week after week. When I did NASCAR for a year, I would hear him say this pretty frequently to a group of reporters. He was right, too — the questions are almost always the same. “Do you feel you have momentum going into this week?”…”How important is this race for you?”…”What do you like about [track name]?” et cetera et cetera.
