Newman Notches Third Straight Top-Five Finish at Phoenix
There’s no doubt that Ryan Newman was hoping for a little magic as he returned to Phoenix International Raceway as the defending champion of the Subway Fresh Fit 500k NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. After all, Newman started in the same spot, pitted in the same pit stall and drove the same No. 39 Tornados Chevrolet as he had last April when he got his first win with Stewart-Haas Racing. And while the outcome wasn’t the exact same, Newman and his No. 39 Tornados Chevrolet had another impressive run at the 1-mile oval, as they finished fifth. Newman led twice for seven laps during the 312-lap race, and he fought his way to his third consecutive top-five finish at Phoenix, and his first top-five of the season. “It was a good run … Read entire article »

But when the yellow caution flag came out for debris on lap 287, Stewart’s strategy was sunk. The ill-timed caution period allowed those behind him to catch up, and with all having taken four tires to Stewart’s two, the driver/owner of Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) was a sitting duck. When the green flag … Read entire article »
