OPlease excuse any misspelled words and incorrect grammar but I left these posts as they originally appeared so you would know it is strictly the opinion of a fan.
From a fan at Atlanta Motor Speedway via Facebook:
"I don't have time" I have to get in this black truck and ride in it for 100 yards and then just sit there. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME us fans took the time to stand sit out there in the rain but you couldn't take a few moments of your time to sign a few autographs. You know I didn't want to believe the stories about what a stuck up snobb you were but today I saw it for my self. Today after your Team Chevy interview you lost a long time fan of yours.

At AMS today Tony did a short interview at the Team Chevy booth, me an my wife were right up front, we stood there for 2 hours waiting. got a few good pics but when it was almost over we left and went around to where he would go to his Truck that was waiting for him. Well when it was over he walked back there to get in the truck and when tried to get him to autograph our TEAM CHEVY t-shirts and he said "I don't have time" and just got strait in the truck. But we watched still kind of in shock at how rude he was about it and we saw the truck just pull about 100 yards away and then back into a parking space where he just sat in it for at least a half hour. Really? Tony I didn't want to believe the stories that I have heard about the way he really act toward fans but today I saw it first hand. You truly are arrogant snobb and today you lost a true long time fan.
EDITOR'S NOTE: I hope Tony is not like this all the time but it still distresses me that he would treat fans this way. I had the impression Tony is usually fan-friendly. At appearances such as Office Depot signings, etc, it seems I have read he is quite affable and very warm and friendly. I have read though that Tony can be moody and argumentative at the track.
