Hard to vote on this one, because all three of the questions can be answered yes or no indepedantly. But I'll be glad to answer all 3...

#1 Do you think Tony Stewart should have started 2 new teams this year with economy and racing in general is today.??????????????

A: When Tony made the move, the economy hadn't tanked yet.

#2 Do You think Tony should have left a successful Toyota team and go with Chevrolet that is in the middle of a bailout and try to get a team up and running..................

A: Same with #1, there was no bailout even thought of when Tony made the move. And remember, he's not trying to get a brand new team up and running. Hass/CNC is already a running, complete team with two cars and a two-driver switch.

#3 Do you think Tony Stewart will be able to get 2 up and racing in 2009, with all the other teams having cutbacks.

A: Again, the team is already in place. It's not like what Michael Waltrip did, he's simply getting major ownership of an existing 2-car team.

I think if there is a driver in need of backing tony can get it. He,s a top class driver not a waltrip or robbie gordon. I think he will fair okay.

I think that Stewart-Haas racing is going to be a really successful race team!
