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.
