I don't think people are hating on him...But I think every person in this thread are just questioning his character, and stating facts based on how he caries himself. Lets see, hes had riffs with Erica Enders, Alex Laughlin, and Vincent Nobile. Doesn't make too many friends even in his own class. just sayin'. Lets see how many friends he'll make in NASCAR series.

Re: Tanner Gray, not stock/super stock news,

I wonder if there is any chance the Grays will continue in Pro Stock with Dave Connelly driving?

Losing both Tanner and Drew Skillman next year is going to hurt.

Re: Tanner Gray, not stock/super stock news,

Yea maybe... but you can be a winner and still have some class. I think there is a difference between being a competitive racer and being a jerk off. Warren Johnson was a respected pro stock racer, I can't say that for Tanner.

I was thinking this also. The tanner is gong to drive for an existing roundy round team. Maybe Shane Gray wants to drive full time again in possibly the best car out there.

We flew to the Richmond race last weekend (beautiful track, facilities, surroundings) and during the driver intros of course he was booed roundly. So I'm thinking to myself-you can boo all you want, but look out for him later on at the finish. Sure enough he came through the field (after starting in the back), raced 2-Keselowski clean for many laps and drove it to the win. Boos after the race too, but he doesn't care. To the bank $$$!!

In keeping with the subject change, the Toyota decaled teams seem faster when they need be. After NASCAR let Matt Kenseth back onto the track to wreck Joey Logano (which even dead people could see was going to happen) I quit watching NASCAR and lost any respect for Joe Gibbs and his teams. I'd be interested to see how many races Kyle Busch has won "moving" someone out of his way. (I must admit before the race even began my friends were telling me that they just knew Chase Elliot was going to get his first victory in the road race his dad came back and drove in;-) If Tanner goes to NASCAR I wish him a safe career.

Bother Warren Johnson when he was working on his car wouldn't get you far, yet if you caught him at a free moment he'd gladly talk and answer your questions. One of the nicest drivers we've ever met was Justin Wilson, one of those who made you feel like a friend he just hadn't seen in a while. He went out of his way to accommodate everyone yet I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate it if you distracted him prior to running. As to Tanner and Erica, all she had to do was let him in right? Happens all the time on the road...

Bob D-I agree, I think we all "know the score" as to what is/has happened in all forms of racing. The Old Days are gone. We enjoy going to all types of races and shows. And to set the record straight I'm a Mopar/Dodge/Penske guy. (Wish Dodge would come back, of course)

Where is Drew going? (I missed anything on him...)

Just taking a break from the demands of the full time Pro circuit in order to devote more time to the business...charismatic young man; sure he sells a lot of cars.

Cool Thanks! He is a good guy.

Has to be a lot like a rock star lifestyle on the road. :( Don't know how they do it...

No, not right, There is a flagman down there at the end of the track to signal which driver to go around the corner first. Erica was on the inside and was told to go. Then Tanner cuts her off. That's what the arguemnet was all about.
You can see this flagman at times at certain tracks and camera angles.
