From the NASCAR.com article, “Stewart’s late slip hands Kahne Coca-Cola 600 win”, finally something about what happened to Tony Stewart after his tire went flat.

Instead, he wound up a frustrating 18th and stormed into his hauler without comment. He could be seen inside the truck kicking at the cabinets as crew chief Greg Zipadelli was left to answer questions about yet another near-miss.

It’s so heartbreaking and I’m usually not one to be like this, but it is and you have to know what he feels… exactly what Dale Earnhardt, Jr. has felt all season. They have come so close and then something silly or just something out of a movie happens and bam, their chances are gone.

I listened to them every lap of the race. They knew their car sucked during the daytime but as soon as the sun went down, the car turned on.

I just hope this frustration doesn’t lead Tony to leave Gibbs. A blown tire isn’t their fault. It’s nobody’s fault. It happened a few times tonight to several guys.

Heartbreaking. Now, I’ll go to sleep hoping Mr. Kahne knows that if that tire hadn’t of blown, he would have been to the side, watching Tony and the #20 crew celebrate in victory lane.
