Tony takes "pep talk" to the flag stand

Credit: ccrnascar

Contrary to prior public statements by both drivers made earlier in the week, the chill continues between Stewart and Hamlin following their wreck in Daytona and Stewart's comments during the race.
During an interview in his car prior to qualifying in Chicago with Lindsay Czarniak on SPEED, Stewart was asked if he had a chance to speak with Hamlin, Stewart very tersely replied, "I've been busy this week."
Stewart didn't even reply to Czarniak's first follow up question. After Hamlin's qualifying run, Hamlin was asked how things were between him and Stewart and Hamlin said, "We're at the track, so we're teammates."The tension between the two was palpable.This has to raise major questions as to what this driver fight is going to do to these two during the chase. Sponsors should also be scratching their heads as to where the leadership is at JGR............ Thanks for the great picture to my friend Dennis and later that day after the race SMOKE got the checker flag.................. Congrat Tony!
