Stewart Continues in His Role as a Successful Team Owner
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – With a total of seven point-paying NASCAR Sprint Cup Series wins and a second straight berth in the Chase for the Championship since the inception of Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) in 2009, it’s safe to say that Tony Stewart’s foray into NASCAR team ownership has been a successful one. But that comment would only scratch the surface, for Stewart has been a car owner for nearly a decade, fielding championship entries in USAC and the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. How many championships? Twelve in all – nine in USAC and three in the World of Outlaws, with the most recent title coming Oct. 16 when one of his two USAC drivers, Levi Jones, won the National Silver Crown Series championship.

It’s been hosting automobile races since 1909, and not just any race, but the Indianapolis 500. And because of its archaic – at least in racing terms – lineage, parts of Indy’s surface, namely the frontstretch, remained clad in bricks until 1961 when … Read entire article »

Going For One More Spot at The Glen
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – They were racing on asphalt instead of dirt. Their cars had roofs. All four of their wheels were covered by fenders. And for every left turn they made, they also had to turn right. Yet here they were, Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne — two former stalwarts of the U.S. Auto Club (USAC) who were about as far away as they could get from the dirt tracks and open-wheel Midget, Sprint and Silver Crown cars they used to catapult themselves into the elite NASCAR Sprint Cup Series — battling for the win on the road course at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif. … Read entire article »
