Why does Tony never thank Toyota?

Question

I noticed in all of his post race interviews that Tony never thanks Toyota. Why does he ignore them? I think this is just a super big hint that he is leaving at the end of the season.

Answer 1

like Glory says hes a Chevy man just like me

Answer 2

He is not leaving at the end of the season JD and Joe already said that they will not let him. And he does not ingnore them he just has so many people and stuff to thank that he frogot. Maybe he will htank them when he wins a Sprint cup race!

Answer 3

He has never tried to hide the fact that he didn't like the change to Toyota. I see it going one of two ways. He might get over it with a few wins, or he will become an owner/ driver. I don't see him going to another team, as I don't know who could give him a better car each week? There is something in the air with Tony! It will all come out in the wash!!

Answer 4

Super big hint.  Let's go with that.

Answer 5

he's a chevy man

Answer 6

He doesn't thank Toyota directly, he thanks the Toyota team. But I've also noticed that Tony isn't always straight forward in his answers in the form of sarcasm. The drivers will interview in a totally obscure manner, immediately after a race. It's funny how the effects of adrenaline affect the thinking process, especially when being confronted by the media. Tony can convince a lot of people, but some of his statements are pretty transparent. I would hate to try to deal with interviews and maintain an image. Those guys do a very good job of telling the public what they want to hear.

Answer 7

I don't think Tony will be truly happy til he's back in a Chevy.  Like others have said "he's a Chevy man"  I think we'll see some changes concerning Tony coming up in the near future.  But we'll have to wait and see!

Answer 8

I've heard him praise Toyota, but never thanked them.  Maybe because he hasnt been in Victory Lane with them yet.  It'll be interesting to see what happens when he does.

Answer 9

Because he is a jerk!
