#20-Tony Stewart was none too pleased Saturday with #38-David Gilliland, who caused considerable damage to Stewart’s Chevy during the final Nextel Cup practice prior to Sunday’s Citizen’s Bank 400 at Michigan. The accident occurred when Gilliland was headed to pit road in his #38 Ford at the end of a long run on old tires. Stewart was just coming out of the pits on new tires. “He checks up at the end of the straightaway, and we run into him,” a frustrated Stewart said. “It’s really, really easy to see it. They’ve got two different cameras views of it, and he never stuck his hand out of the window [to signal he was going into the pits]. It really screwed up a really good racecar for [Sunday]. It didn’t need to happen. It shouldn’t happen.” Stewart said he was hoping NASCAR officials would talk to Gilliland about what happened.(NASCAR.com)(6-17-2007)
