That Tony Stewart has way too many things on his plate right now. Until his team catches up on this car, Danica is able to run competitively and next years sponsors and drivers get taken care of, expect to see Tony's only television time to be altercations with other drivers.

He isn't handling the ending of his career well. Let's face it after 40 drivers start to head downwards.

My point exactly. Things aren't getting better for Tony and SHR anytime soon. They may be able to catch up on equipment, but that organization is still juggling the Newman/Harvick roster swap and dealing with the pressures of giving Dancia good stuff, just to run with the back of the field.

Not to mention that her feud with David Gilliland is riveting entertainment........

It is a shame that SHR spent half of their season's budget on her Speedweeks/Daytona 500 car.

Danica is a simple PR move. She brought sponsorship dollars to SHR. I think she is talented but not talented enough for top tier equipment.

I really thought this new car would be a good fit for Tony. I agree with the OP, I think he has too much on his plate. He made a deal with the devil to get the Danica $$$$$, and has weakened the whole organization in the process. Danica is running better than I expected, while Tony and Ryan Newman are running worse.

While I think Tony is starting to slip, SHR should be better next year. No team ever does well growing from two full time teams to three and now add in a new generation car. Next year they will have a better notebook and will upgrade their driver roster too.

What Tony needs to do though is replace Addington.

If he holds onto Patrick and Newman for 2014, he will have a fourth team with Harvick too. I'm thinking Newman may go elsewhere next year though.

I don't see them keeping Newman unless sponsors magically come out for him. Though Quicken Loans and Outback seem to like him though.

AH, the ole Dale Jr approach, lets just keep replacing crew chiefs until you realize the driver sucks. Not saying Tony sucks, but he has lost his edge.
He never should have gotten rid of Grubb.

I know they had decided before he won the championship that Grubb wouldn't return with the team but I didn't understand that move. Those two seemed to work pretty well together.

I've never been high on Addington.
