| Mustn't let them take our precious¿or our cheeseburger. |
OK, at what point did Tony Stewart become Gollum from The Lord of the Rings? After listening to his interview with Fox after the Pocono 500, I wonder if he spends his nights stroking his championship trophies and calling them his "precious."
Here's what he said after the race:
"The last two days I felt like we gained about 10 percent of the strength in our shoulder and mobility. It was tough Friday—we were sore and yesterday it was about half as bad. Today we went through the race without being sore at all."
Is Tony developing a multiple personality disorder where there are several crazy thoughts bouncing around his fat skull at the same time? It certainly would explain how he could go from bitching about bump drafting one day to becoming its worst offender in less than a week. Maybe next week the race scanners will pick up Tony's, I mean Gollum's, inner dialogue:
"We wants to wreck the Busches. They wants to take away our precious! The one with the ears, he wants the precious back. Always watching. Always wanting the precious. We must wreck him and then the young one. They will never take our precious."
If I were Denny Hamlin (and if I were, I would have been a hell of a lot more excited to win a race than he was Sunday), I'd watch my back around Gollum. Even though the two are teammates, you never know when Gollum might turn on Denny for being a threat to his precious.
"We shows you how to win at Indy. We shows you the secret winning lines. Then we wreck you! Wreck you! Wreck you! Stupid rookie can't take our precious."
