Tony Stewart, along with Magnussen and Grosjean from the Haas team, do not understand how the organizers of the Formula 1 race and the NASCAR series were so idiotic that the races overlap.

Stewart je no hair on the tongue said: “This is very stupid. Apparently, the two promoters had their heads deep in their buttocks to be able to come up with such dates. Why did they allow racing fans not to get a chance to watch and enjoy two different racing series on two consecutive weekends? I can't understand that. And then they manage to make that mistake twice. Didn’t they learn anything from 2014? It just shows what idiots they are!"

Tony Stewart, for the first time in three years again behind the wheel NASCAR series race car, adds: "Here you could easily race with StockCars. However, don’t tell TMS boss Eddie Gossage this because otherwise he will be furious. I know the NASCAR series management is flirting with more racing on classic tracks. And here there are very good chances to overtake in five places, and on top of that the whole floor plan of the track prepares a lot of fun. NASCAR could offer a really good show here, I’m sure of that."
