Says he was running in the 1:18's during the day and decided to change his front tire for the main event. Isn't there enough data on tire selection already known by factory team mechanics where somebody on Team Suzuki would mention to James that changing tire compounds or tread patterns might not be a good idea for a rider to decide?
Do you have any idea how many tire options the top guys have with prototype tires?
The Shop
Each of those guys will do anything possible for a fraction of a second faster lap time.
Fact is, Stewart has made less excuses about his failures than practically any other rider. He's been the first to say he sucked when he sucked. This time he simply chose a berm he'd probably used lap after lap, and this lap it chose to blow out. Would the tire he ran before have saved him...who knows?
The old James would have been running 1:17's trying to get back to the leader.
Pit Row
Whatever the problem was, Stewart was way off the complete race pace.

You arent alone there brutha!!
But in all seriousness, reedy and bubba take way too much shit for just being honest. Fucking lame.
