“Stewart It's kind of like being at Thanksgiving dinner. My plate is finally full. I don't know if I can add anymore to what I have right now.”Tony Stewart on declining Indy 500 invite
"As much as I would like to do it, we just don't have the time to do it proper,"Stewart said.
"The IRL is so competitive now, you're not going to just show up like drivers used to do in the past and be competitive. These guys don't leave anything on the table there. You're not going to stroll into the Indy 500 with these guys who race every week and be as competitive as they are."
Penske extended the invitation last week in Las Vegas while accepting the Sprint Cup trophy. Later, when given the chance to shrug it off as a lighthearted moment with Stewart, Penske insisted he was very serious about fielding a car for the NASCAR owner-driver.
