#20-Tony Stewart said Wednesday all is well between the two-time champion and crew chief Greg Zipadelli despite their post-race squabble at Richmond. Stewart criticized Zipadelli and his crew as he pulled onto pit road following Sunday’s second-place finish at Richmond International Raceway. He blamed the team for the loss – he gave up the lead during a late pit stop and was unable to catch winner Jimmie Johnson in the closing laps – and Zipadelli sharply reminded him they win and lose as a group. “I don’t know why everybody is making such a big deal about it,” Stewart said during NASCAR’s media day for the Chase for the championship. “That’s two guys that were talking on the radio that are competitive and don’t like to lose. I’d much rather have a crew chief that gets as fired up as me than I would a guy that said `Yeah, yeah, it’s OK.'(Associated Press)(9-11-2008)
