HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. - Joe Gibbs is waiting for Tony Stewart to emerge from seclusion to reach out to his former driver. Stewart has been in isolation since his car struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. in an Aug. 8 sprint car race. "I didnt feel like it was the right time (to call him), but were all praying for him," Gibbs said. "We all love Tony. I love what he did for us here. We all know hes a racers racer, and hes big for our sport." Stewart drove for Gibbs from 1997 through 2008, winning Cup titles in 2002 and 2005 driving for Joe Gibbs Racing. He left following the 2008 season when he was offered an ownership stake at Stewart-Haas Racing. Gibbs said Tuesday he learned early in his tenure that sprint car racing was Stewarts passion and the car owner had to accept Stewarts participation in other series. He said all team meetings were disrupted by Stewart updating the group on his latest adventures outside of NASCAR. "I had to spend 30 minutes listening to him how he won a dirt late model race, and I wanted to go, I dont care, OK?" Gibbs said, laughing. "But he was so excited. I came to the conclusion that was him — for him to be happy and doing the things that he wanted to do, he was going to be racing." Gibbs said Stewart was a valuable member at JGR. When another employee was struggling to cover the cost of adopting a child, Stewart gave him the needed funds. He hoped as Stewart continues his recovery process, more examples of Stewarts softer side will emerge. "Tonys got great courage. Hes smart. He loves this sport. Hes totally focused on it. He doesnt have distractions," Gibbs said. "Hes very important to our sport. This is a horrible thing to have happen for the Ward family, for him."

Former top-flight official Dermot Gallagher came into the Sky Sports News HQ studio on Monday morning to analyse the big refereeing decisions from another packed weekend of football.From debatable handball decisions to red cards, Gallagher has it all covered.... MATCH: Burnley v Arsenal, Premier League, SundayINCIDENT No 1: Laurent Koscielny scores winning goalSCENARIO: With Arsenal chasing a winning goal from the final attack of the game, the ball gets crossed in from the right and a combination of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Koscielny force it home. Replays showed the final touch came off the Arsenal defenders hand. DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: First thing to say is hes not offside from the cross and flick-on. I think its Walcott with the flick-on, so its not offside. Handball has to be deliberate, but I dont think its handball.It struck him and we are stuck with the rule where it has to be deliberate. People said his arms were up but thats because he used his arms for elevation. He has actually mis-kicked it, it has flown up and hit him, so its not hand to ball, its ball to hand. There is nothing wrong in the law with what happened. See Koscielny’s controversial winner INCIDENT No 2: Shkodran Mustafi remonstrates with the refereeSCENARIO: Mustafi was pulled up for a foul on Sam Vokes, remonstrates with the referee and even uses him to simulate his innocence by backing into him. DERMOTS VERDICT: Incorrect decision to avoid a bookingDERMOT SAYS: I think under current climate he was very lucky not to get a yellow card. He thought Vokes had fouled him, but as he said afterwards on Twitter he should not have done it and hopefully that will send out a message that he wont do it again and it wont happen again. Watch Mustafi’s demonstration MATCH: Manchester United v Stoke, Premier League, SundayINCIDENT No 3: Ander Herrera catches Joe Allen in midfield with a high bootSCENARIO: Herrera went in with his studs up and caught Allen high up the leg, but the Spaniard only received a yellow card.DERMOTS VERDICT: Incorrect decisionDERMOT SAYS: I think if the referee had seen the view we have got it would have been red. Its high, dangerous and the ball has gone. Unfortunately the referee has a square-on view behind Allen and hasnt seen the impact and severity of the challenge. Should Herrera have seen red? INCIDENT No 4: Paul Pogba tussles with Allen on the edge of the boxSCENARIO: Pogba appears to bring down Allen off the ball, in front of the referee, and does not get booked.DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: I think the referee has done well. It happened right in front of him and he has stopped it and sent out a message that its not allowed. Pogba was not booked for a challenge on Allen MATCH: Everton v Crystal Palace, Premier League, FridayINCIDENT No 5: Damien Delaney gives away foul which leads to Everton goalSCENARIO: Delaney is penalised for raising his boot too high towards Jagielka. The ball hits Jagielkas hands as he lifts them to protect himself.DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: Its definitely a foul by Delaney, you cant raise your foot that high. Jagielka handles the ball afterwards but the referee has whistled for the first foul by Delaney. Was Delaney rightly penalised? INCIDENT No 6: Delaney has the ball in the net but its disallowed for offsideSCENARIO: Delaney heads home from a cross but the flag goes up for offside, seemingly against James McArthur, who was making a run in the middle of the box and may have distracted the keeper.ddddddddddddDERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: I think they have got this correct and it was good what they did. The assistant, Simon Bennett, has seen McArthur in an offside position but is not aware of where he is and how he is impacting anybody. Referee Jon Moss has a different view, so they discuss it and then make the decision.Its the fact McArthur goes for the ball and the keeper cant make his mind what to do until that happens. The referee has to decide whether he has made enough of an attempt to play the ball and the answer is yes. Were Palace wrongfully denied? MATCH: Hull v Chelsea, Premier League, SaturdayINCIDENT No 7: Victor Moses goes down in the penalty areaSCENARIO: Moses dribbles into the area and Adama Diomande dangles a leg in his direction. Moses goes down and appeals for a penalty but nothing is given. Has the way hes gone down counted against him?DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: I dont think its a penalty. I think Diomande played the ball, thats why it changes direction, and Moses goes over his leg. Was Moses making a meal of it? INCIDENT No 8: Willian hits the deck after a tackle by Curtis DaviesSCENARIO: The Brazilian bursts into the area and Davies makes a last-ditch tackle from an awkward angle. He wins the ball with his right foot but on his follow through takes out Willian. No foul is awarded. DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: No penalty. He gets the ball again. He has enough of it and the play continues. The referee saw the ball played and I dont think its a foul. See the tackle on Willian in the box MATCH: Swansea City v Liverpool, Premier League, SaturdayINCIDENT No 9: Daniel Sturridge gets booked for simulation SCENARIO: After coming on as a substitute, Sturridge was shown a yellow card by referee Michael Oliver for going down under a challenge from Wayne Routledge inside the area.DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: I think its the right decision. He made the contact himself and cannoned off the defender. The referee has done well there. As a referee you have to be right. There is nothing worse for a referee than booking someone for simulation and then you see it later and its a foul. If you are going to give a yellow card for simulation you have to be right.
