Stewart Makes Point While Losing Points in Sonoma
Tony Stewart rallied from his 20th-place starting spot to take the lead on lap 72 of Sunday’s 110-lap NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif. The driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet Impala for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) was yet again demonstrating his road-course prowess as he powered around the undulating, 10-turn, 1.99-mile road course in California’s wine country. Stewart’s penchant for outperforming his rivals at venues that require drivers to turn left and right was on display in the Toyota/Save Mart 350k, but so was his penchant for laying down the law, no matter the consequences. As such, it left Stewart 39th when the checkered flag dropped. It all began on lap 39 when Stewart touched the back of Brian Vickers’ Toyota heading into the … Read entire article »

Early Accident Causes Long Day for Newman in Sonoma
Anytime the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to either Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., or Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International – the two road course events on the 36-race schedule – there are usually a few drivers who leave angry and a few racecars that are battered and beaten. Ryan Newman’s No. 39 Haas Automation Chevrolet was one of the battered and beaten machines being loaded into the Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) transporter after he brought it home to a 25th-place finish in the 110-lap race around the 10-turn, 1.99-mile road course. Newman started fifth at Infineon and was in the top-five for the race’s first 25 laps. But on lap 38 while entering the final turn on the course – a treacherous hairpin that claimed many victims – Newman was caught up in a … Read entire article »

Stewart Looking For a Middle-of-the-Road Balance at Sonoma
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Being a centrist pays dividends in politics, as you can court votes from the left and the right. And it helps to be a centrist in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series too, for having the proper balance between the left and the right can also prove beneficial, at least when the series visits the two road course venues on its 36-race schedule. Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., is the first road course stop on the tour, and it plays host to this weekend’s Toyota/Save Mart 350k. The other road course is Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International, which welcomes the Sprint Cup Series in mid-August. Both tracks force drivers to turn left and right, and both have suited Tony Stewart well. The driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet … Read entire article »

Newman Has The Right Stuff At Sonoma
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. -With back-to-back top-10 finishes, Ryan Newman and his No. 39 Haas Automation team look to be headed back in the “right” direction in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship point standings. And there’s no better time to be on the “right” track than now, as Newman readies to try his hand at turning both right and left in the first road-course race of the season at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif. While Newman has never won a road-course race in Sprint Cup competition, the 10-year veteran is certainly up to the challenge. The physical demands and challenges of hustling the racecar around the race course and turning both right and left is something Newman thrives on. There’s nothing he loves more than manhandling his racing … Read entire article »
