Newman Leads Late, But Finishes Third in Shootout
Ryan Newman led 12 of the last 13 laps in Saturday night’s Budweiser Shootout at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, but coming off turn four of the 2.5-mile oval on the final lap, his challengers used slingshot moves to scoot around his No. 39 WIX Filters Chevy, relegating him to third. Often in restrictor-plate racing at Daytona and its sister track at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, the lead car is in a precarious position – especially on the last lap. If the cars that are behind pull out of the draft, they can slingshot around the defenseless lead car, which is what Kurt Busch, Jamie McMurray and Denny Hamlin did to Newman as the four-car pack exited turn four on the 75th and final lap of the Budweiser Shootout. “Well, I knew I was … Read entire article »

Stewart Finishes 11th in Shootout
Tony Stewart started strong in Saturday night’s Budweiser Shootout at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. The driver of the No. 14 Mobil 1/Office Depot Chevrolet Impala for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) lined up second in the non-points NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race and led three times for four laps. But intermittent radio issues and incidental contact with Michael Waltrip relegated Stewart to an 11th-place finish when the checkered flag dropped on the 75-lap contest. “I wish I knew what I did wrong to turn Michael,” said Stewart after finishing outside the top-10 for only the second time in 12 career Budweiser Shootout starts. “I honestly don’t know. You can only see the car in front of you.” Stewart was a mainstay at the front of the field until the end of the race’s first … Read entire article »

Newman Hoping To ‘Filter’ Out Team’s Bad Racing Luck at Daytona
KANNAPOLIS, N.C.- To say that restrictor-plate racing has been the Achilles’ heel for Ryan Newman and his No. 39 Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) team is without a doubt an understatement. For Newman, it’s been an ongoing series of “wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time” incidents at both superspeedways on the circuit since joining SHR in 2009. In fact, over the past two seasons, the South Bend, Ind., native and his No. 39 Chevrolet have become the poster child for rotten luck and hard crashes at the high-speed racetracks at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway and Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway. It’s just bad racing luck, Newman says. Good thing for Newman and his No. 39 team that luck can change. As Newman & Co., prepares for its third go-round at Daytona Speedweeks, … Read entire article »
