NASCAR's Tony Stewart Survived The Big Ones At Talladega


After a busy Talladega Superspeedway, with 8 cautions for 32 laps, 13 drivers out of the race and a garage full of damaged/wrecked cars. Tony Stewart's No. 14 Old Spice/Office Depot "Mattahorn" Cheverolet came out strong in the begining laps, leading for just one lap of the 200 laps and was a part of a handful of charges to the front, with some help from Dale Earnhardt Jr pushing, helped put Tony Stewart to second place by lap 180. There were a lot of drafting and pushing from several opponents joining up together to push to the front and get some points for leading a lap.

With the Triple over time and Tony Stewart's No. 14 Old Spice/Office Depot Cheverolet loosing momentum after every restart, those three restarts just kept putting him further back and having to fight his way back to the front, or at least close as possible. With Ryan Newman, teammate of Stewart-Haas Racing, driver of the No. 39 Haas Automation/Office Depot Chevrolet, getting involved in the second to last multi car accident, putting him to finished a disappointing 35th.

The finish was nothing to blink at or to get up and get a drink. While Kevin Harvick was pushing Jamie McMaurry for a couple of laps, then on turn-4 comes inside of McMaurry and finishes first with just .011 of a margin from McMaurry. Timing was everything for that to work out for Harvick.

Talladega Superspeedway saw 29 leaders and 88 lead changes, for an all-time NASCAR record. It was also the longest Talladega Superspeedway with 532 miles completed, which was extended 12 laps past the scheduled distance due to three attempts at a green-white-checker finish.

NASCAR's Stewart-Haas Racing Takes A Win At Phoenix...


Tony Stewart finally won another race this past weekend at  Phoenix International Raceway, not as the driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet. But as the owner of Stewart/Haas Racing (SHR). Teammate Ryan Newman, the driver of the No. 39 Tornados Chevrolet Impala won his first race at the 1 mile oval, as part of Stewar/Haas Racing.

Tony Stewart finshed 23rd, falling even further back on the Sprint Cup Series points. The season started good for Stewart/Haas Racing, but it has deminished since then, Until now with the win at Phoenix International Raceway.

Taking a chance on a two tires pit stop, after a late caution, which extended the race to three more laps. Even after Jimmy Johnson and Kyle Busch leading the most laps. Newman took the lead from four-time Sprint Cup champion Jeff Gordon after Gordon spun his tires at the restart, and that's all she wrote.

This was Newman’s 14th career Sprint Cup victory and his first win since the 50th running of the Daytona 500 in 2008, which Newman won. That is a span of 77 races.

Tony Stewart drove his #14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet  from 11th place to the lead by lap 23, but only held it for 15 laps around the desert mile. Track conditions changed and that took the air out of Stewart's sail. As night fell, the handling went away on Tony Stewarts' #14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet and left him with a 23rd place finish.

Newman held off the four-time Sprint Cup Champion Jeff Gordon for a .130 seconds to take the win, followed by Jimmi Johnson, Mark Martin and Juan Pablo Montoya. Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer and Joey Logano completed the 10.

With just 7 or 36 races completed, Stewart is ninth in the standings, down one spot. Newman moved up six position to 16th.

Next on schedule is the Samsung Mobile 500 to be held at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. Let's go Smoke 'em Tony.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Racing - Going Wingless

Tony Stewart
We all knew that it was not going to take long for the NASCAR Association, are what ever title they give themselves, to change back to the rear spoiler. It was not just the wing that made the cars go airborne, look at the rear of the cars, high ends lets air get in there as well. The only good thing that NASCAR has came up with was the Roof Flaps and of course all the safety devices, especially the Haans device for the neck support.
We all are eager to see the new spoiler on the cars and how they will run on each track. But we all also await a good accident with no injuries of course. The bump and draft is back as well so when it comes to wide open racing the action will begin and the test of the new spoiler will be revealed as to how good it is. Every season, NASCAR officials and CEO's come up with some different rule for that season to see how it works on the tracks and how the drivers like them and will adhear to them. When they took the Bump and Draft away, no one could run up on anyone without making some kind of contact. Now is real racing, time put tighten up those straps, get your last drink before going out on the track and HOLD ON, because you are going for a ride.
