Smoke Rises from Phoenix

Tony Stewart inched ever closer to his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory as a driver/owner after finishing a season-best second in Saturday night’s Subway Fresh Fit 500k at Phoenix International Raceway. The driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet Impala SS also earned the best finish to date for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), the two-car team Stewart co-owns with Oxnard, Calif.-based Haas Automation, the largest CNC machine tool builder in the western world.

“I’m just happy for everybody from Office Depot, Old Spice and Haas Automation that believed in me when I had this idea of starting this deal last year,” said Stewart, who led once for a total 19 laps in the 312-lap race, bringing his season total to 53 laps led. “We’re getting there, man. I’m telling you, we’re so close. We’re going to get us a win here soon. We’re not going to let our fans down.”

Momentum from Martinsville Continues at Texas

After scoring his career best finish as a driver/owner in last weekend’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, Tony Stewart was poised to improve upon that third-place effort with a win in Sunday’s Samsung 500 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.

The driver of the No. 14 Old Spice/Office Depot Chevrolet Impala SS for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) led four times for 16 laps on the 1.5-mile Texas oval, and with 25 laps remaining in the 334-lap race, had a shot at scoring that much-desired victory. But when the checkered flag dropped, Stewart was the fourth driver across the stripe. It wasn’t a win, but it was his ninth top-10 finish in 15 career Sprint Cup starts at Texas.

Stewart Snares 17th at Bristol

The Food City 500 at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway has typically been a feast or famine affair for Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet Impala SS for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. But after finishing 17th in Sunday’s 500-lap race at Bristol, Stewart left the .533-mile oval neither ravenous nor full.

In the past three Food City 500s – NASCAR’s spring visit to Volunteer Country – Stewart has seen victory snatched away from him. The two-time Sprint Cup champion has led a whopping 769 laps of the 1,510 laps available (50.9 percent). Yet, all Stewart had to show for his efforts were finishes of 12th, 35th and 14th.

Figure Eights

In the four NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races run thus far in 2009, Tony Stewart has finished eighth in three of them. The driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet Impala SS for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) nabbed his most recent eighth-place result in Sunday’s Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga.

Getting that result, however, was far from easy. Stewart came from two laps down in the 330-lap contest – extended five laps past its scheduled distance due to a green-white-checkered finish – and clawed his way to his 13th top-10 finish in 21 career Sprint Cup starts at Atlanta.

Stewart Shows His Hand at Las Vegas

On most afternoons following a 26th-place finish, Tony Stewart is none too pleased. But as a driver/owner with Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) – the team he co-owns with Haas Automation, the largest CNC machine tool builder in the western world – Stewart sees the big picture with 20/15 vision.

The driver of the No. 14 Old Spice/Office Depot Chevrolet Impala SS for SHR finished 26th in Sunday’s Shelby 427 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. That result, however, was not indicative of his performance, or that of his teammate, Ryan Newman.

Stewart Snags Second Straight Top-10 in SoCal

Tony Stewart dodged rain showers and a tight-handling racecar to finish a solid eighth in Sunday’s Auto Club 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.

Stewart, who led once for three circuits in the 250-lap race, scored his eighth top-10 finish in 16 starts at the 2-mile oval. It was also his second consecutive eighth-place finish, as the driver of the No. 14 Old Spice/Office Depot Chevrolet Impala SS for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) finished eighth in the season-opening Daytona 500 last Sunday at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. The back-to-back top-10 efforts bumped the two-time Sprint Cup champion into a tie for third in the point standings with Kurt Busch.

Rain Thwarts Stewart’s Bid for Daytona 500 Victory

When eighth-place is your worst finish among the four races you’ve competed in during the 11 days that make up Speedweeks at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, you can hold your head high. And when you earn that eighth-place finish in a backup racecar after your primary racecar was crashed in the final practice session leading into the season’s biggest race, your accomplishment is even more impressive.

Such was the case for Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet Impala SS for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR).

And this year is no different as Stewart starts the new season as a driver/owner with his No. 14 Old Spice/Office Depot Chevrolet Impala SS fielded by Stewart-Haas Racing.
