It was a top 5 interview of all time
Is that what he said? LoL I don't remember that at all. Had to be Erin Bates that was interviewing him
There was one race when Stew crashed and said he was “done” ready to retire not sure when exactly that was or if he got interviewed about it trackside but he came back to race again.
Well technically they aren't even tied. If the season ended now guess who wins the title because he's got the tie breaker covered

In 2017 at East rutherford they interviewed Tomac after he got 8th.
OP thinks that interviewing people off the podium = everybody gets a trophy. Not really the case at all - when the points lead goes to a tie, it's definitely newsworthy to talk to both riders if possible.
100%, you beat me to it.
I’m really not worried about where Jett finished for the night as he is still relevant to the points chase. But I do think it is shitty to not let the LCQ guys get their time. If either of them would have been well known factory riders we would’ve had a full on interview. Seems like a big slight to Benny and the Beta team as well as Bryce and his team.
Tomac fined at Foxborough 2 years ago for refusing an interview after a 7th place finish.

Webb fined at A2 for refusing a media interview.

Jett could have eaten the fine and go sulk but he hung in there.
Hell, AC got 20th in Vegas back in 2019 and they interviewed him! What is the world coming to?
I remember a NASCAR interview from way back where the interviewer asked a driver “what happened out there” right after a crash. Driver said “I got behind in my steering” and walked away..
Benny stopped his bike at the podium area since he’s a good interview but no one was there. Do they need to fight or take each other out to get tv time?
They interviewed Webb even though he got 4th tonight. It’s almost like it’s something they have done and will continue to do when one of the contenders doesn’t land on the podium…
Those communist bastages……
I just saw the race. It was mature for Webb to put up an interview knowing he lost points and went down. He could have just gone back to the truck and no one would have blamed him for it. Jett is getting away with near crashes like Ricky used to do and pull it off that Chase couldn’t on the Honda. To not thank his sponsors this time showed a human side for Webb not just being a podium robot. Like Deegan said it’s a fan sport (if you weren’t one yet). I could see Webb just didn’t have it this week on press day and he couldn’t pull his moves. Tomac was looking good most of the time but watch out for Sexton who doesn’t have anyone to apologize to.
Webb didn’t have a choice. Top five have to hang around and make themselves available for an interview. They get fined if they go straight back to the truck.
How far back did AP end up after his crash to do the interview with JT?
