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.
