If you happen to have seen this particular story on AOL.com, you can see that the NASCAR rumor mill never stops. First we have  Tony who is being courted by a few teams, but has stated more than once that he has not asked for an early release from JGR and that JGR has not given any indication that they would do so anyways. Then Montoya has supposedly been sniffing around JGR to take Tony’s spot if he leaves.

Here’s a thought…if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Frankly, I hate to say it, but there’s nothing wrong with Tony Stewart, Greg Zipadelli, and Joe Gibbs Racing. EVERY driver goes through issues and slumps. Hello? Dale Jr and Kasey Kahne ring a bell? And you can bet that Kyle Busch will go through one at some point too. It’s the nature of the sport.

So why worry about it? Frankly, I’d prefer to see Tony stay with JGR & Home Depot. Of course, there’s always a chance that if Tony leaves and goes somewhere else that Home Depot will go with him. But hey, no problem. If that doesn’t happen, I’m sure I’ll get used to his new team, new sponsors, etc. I just hope I can keep from calling his crew chief Zippy.
