Stewart Turned Down A Ride With Hendrick

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Could you see Tony Stewart in the No. 25 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet? Rick Hendrick could—15 years ago. But Stewart turned down a job offer from Hendrick because he didn’t feel he was ready for the Sprint Cup Series. At that point, the sum total of Stewart’s stock car experience amounted to a handful of Nationwide races for owner Harry Ranier. “In the fall of ’96 I got a call, and Rick’s organization had offered me the 25 car,” Stewart said Wednesday at a press conference at Levine Children’s Hospital to announce details of his Prelude to the Dream dirt Late Model charity race. “I’d only run eight (actually nine) Nationwide races that year, so I just didn’t feel that I’d earned the right and … Read entire article »

KANNAPOLIS, N.C.  – When news broke last weekend that Jimmie Johnson would be chronicled on HBO Sports’ award-winning “24/7” television program, it seemed a bit redundant as competitors in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series have been dealing with the chronicles of Johnson and the No. 48 team 24/7 for three straight years.
