“As a promoter, fellow Hoosier, and race fan, I love and respect Tony Stewart. He is an elite racer, a feisty, authentic, fun, independent person, and one of the most generous people I've ever known. His NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship run in 2011, and the race at Homestead-Miami Speedway in particular, will forever be one of the most amazing individual drives I have ever seen and a memory I will keep forever. Motorsports will not have one of its greatest drivers ever competing after 2016, but, thankfully, we will still have Tony - his huge personality and his genuine love of racing around.” – Roger Curtis, president, Michigan International Speedway

The National Motorsports Appeals Panel today heard and considered the appeal of a P4 penalty issued on Sept. 23 to Rob Kauffman (owner), Clint Bowyer (driver), and Billy W. Scott (crew chief) relative to NASCAR Sprint Cup Series vehicle #15 at Chicagoland Speedway.
"I really like Dover. I've won a couple times there. My last Cup race there didn't go so well, but races before that have always gone really well for me. Hopefully we can improve upon our package that we took there last time and try to get a little bit better. Concrete tracks are tough when they rubber up, and it's hard to hit the set-up just right. It's easy to be off. Hopefully we'll go back with a little more knowledge and be a little bit better with our CSX 'Play It Safe' Ford."
