The Offical Site of Tony Stewart

Tony Stewart and the Office Depot/Old Spice team fought their way to a solid ninth-place finish in Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350k NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif.

The Poconos aren’t exactly gambling meccas, but you wouldn’t know it by watching Tony Stewart race around the 2.5-mile triangle that is Pocono (Pa.) Raceway.

Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Old Spice/Office Depot Chevrolet Impala, led the two-car Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) contingent in time trials at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway by qualifying sixth for Sunday’s Gillette Fusion ProGlide 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. Stewart turned a lap of 53.305 seconds at 168.840 mph on the 2.5-mile triangle.

Tony Stewart returns to Pocono (Pa.) Raceway as the defending winner of the Gillette Fusion ProGlide 500. The driver of the No. 14 Old Spice/Office Depot Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series won last year’s June visit to the venerable and quirky 2.5-mile triangle, where he led twice for 39 laps – including the final 37 – to take his first point-paying win as a driver/owner and the first for a driver/owner since Sept. 27, 1998 when Ricky Rudd won at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway – a span of 375 races.

That extra 100 hundred miles in the Coca-Cola 600 – the longest race on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule – is always felt, but it’s even more so when the racecar you’re piloting is sliding around at speeds nearing 200 mph.

Ryan Newman, driver of the No. 39 U.S. Army Chevrolet Impala, led the two-car Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) contingent in time trials at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway by winning the pole for Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. Newman, who will make his 309th career Sprint Cup start on Sunday, turned a lap of 28.793 seconds at 187.546 mph on the 1.5-mile oval.

For Indiana native Tony Stewart, one event on Memorial Day weekend used to trump all others – the Indianapolis 500. But after 30 years of racing competitively – 12 of which have been spent in the elite NASCAR Sprint Cup Series – the Greatest Spectacle in Racing has, believe it or not, taken a backseat to the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway.

Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Burger King Chevrolet Impala, led the two-car Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) contingent by finishing fifth in Saturday night’s NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway. It was Stewart’s fourth consecutive-top five finish in the non-points event and his eighth top-10 result in 12 career All-Star Races.

Rain canceled tonight’s qualifying session for Saturday night’s non-points NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway. As a result, the field consisting of past race winners in 2009 and 2010, past NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champions and past All-Star Race winners was set based upon each driver’s qualifying draw.

Tony Stewart and the Office Depot/Old Spice team of Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) took a step in the right direction Sunday by finishing ninth in the Autism Speaks 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Dover (Del.) International Speedway.

With an average finish of 24th in the past six NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races that has dropped him from fifth to 18th in points, Tony Stewart might feel as if he’s in a jungle where thickets of underbrush threaten to smother his journey toward civilization.

The track "Too Tough to Tame" lived up to its billing in Saturday night's Showtime Southern 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway, at least for Tony Stewart.

Ryan Newman, driver of the No. 39 Haas Automation Chevrolet Impala, led the two-car Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) contingent in time trials at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway by qualifying sixth for Saturday night’s Showtime Southern 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. Newman turned a lap of 27.464 seconds at 179.056 mph on the 1.366-mile oval.

Heading into a venue with the moniker “Too Tough to Tame” always proves daunting, but it’s even more so when you’ve dropped 10 point positions in the last five races because your average finish in that span is 24th. Such is the plight of Tony Stewart and the No. 14 Old Spice/Office Depot team of Stewart-Haas Racing as they enter round 11 of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway.

Tony Stewart has enjoyed far more good days than bad at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway, as his five wins – three in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and two in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series – attest.

Ryan Newman, driver of the No. 39 Army Medicine Chevrolet Impala, led the two-car Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) contingent in time trials at Richmond (Va.)

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series’ upcoming stop at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway (RIR) couldn’t come at a better time for Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet Impala for Stewart-Haas Racing.

It was far from an official win, but in a garage area surrounded by damaged racecars from a crash-marred Aaron’s 499, Tony Stewart’s 16th-place finish in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway was a victory, nonetheless. Crew chief Darian Grubb said it best: “We survived Talladega.”

Severe weather canceled today’s qualifying session for the Aaron’s 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway. As a result, the 43-car field for Sunday’s 188-lap event was set by current car owner points per the NASCAR rulebook.

Fresh off his 400th career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start Monday at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Tony Stewart has a “fresh” outlook coming into Sunday’s Aaron’s 499 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.

Tony Stewart won Saturday night at Phoenix International Raceway, but not in the traditional way that most view the driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet. In fact, Stewart the driver finished 23rd in the Subway Fresh Fit 600k NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the 1-mile oval. Stewart the owner, however, got to stop in victory lane to congratulate his Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) teammate Ryan Newman on his first win as a member of SHR.

Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet Impala, led the two-car Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) contingent in time trials at Phoenix International Raceway by qualifying 11th for Saturday night’s Subway Fresh Fit 600k NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. Stewart turned a lap of 27.024 seconds at 133.215 mph on the 1-mile oval.

Arizona’s Painted Desert is a good haul northeast of Avondale, Ariz., site of Saturday night’s Subway Fresh Fit 600k NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. But the distance won’t stop Tony Stewart from adding a touch of green to the desert landscape that surrounds Phoenix International Raceway.

For the first 65 laps of Monday’s rain-postponed Goody’s Fast Pain Relief 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, it appeared as though Tony Stewart had a great chance for his third career victory at the .526-mile oval.

Rain canceled today’s qualifying session for the Goody’s Fast Pain Relief 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway. As a result, the 43-car field for Sunday’s 500-lap race was set by current car owner points per the NASCAR rulebook.

If you’re one of the millions of Americans who filled out an NCAA men’s basketball bracket, you probably saw it crumble when ninth-seed Northern Iowa toppled No. 1 Kansas in second-round action. With a 32-2 season record entering the tournament, Kansas was favored to win it all and take its second championship in three years.

Ryan Newman, driver of the No. 39 Tornados Chevrolet Impala, led the two-car Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) contingent in time trials at Atlanta Motor Speedway by qualifying seventh for Sunday’s Kobalt Tools 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.

International Speedway driving for an upstart Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI). The win was also the first for the team owned by NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kevin Harvick and wife DeLana.

Tony Stewart took full advantage of his time in Saturday night’s Budweiser Shootout at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. The driver of the No. 14 Old Spice/Office Depot Chevrolet Impala for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) came from his 13th-place starting spot in the non-points race to lead twice for six laps, and he made other drivers who tried their hand at the lead work hard to hold onto it.

With both of Stewart-Haas Racing’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams in the Chase for the Championship, 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 the U.S. Auto Club (USAC) and the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series.

The good news for Tony Stewart during Sunday’s Dickies 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth was that he spent the majority of the 334-lap race comfortably in the top-10. The bad news for the driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet Impala SS for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) was that he had difficulty cracking the top-three en route to a sixth-place finish, which is his 23rd top-10 finish of 2009.

Crapshoot. Wild card. Those are the words most often used to describe racing at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, and Sunday’s AMP Energy 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the vast, 2.66-mile oval proved those descriptions correct.

Rain canceled today’s qualifying session for Sunday’s AMP Energy 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway. As a result, the 43-car field for the 188-lap race was set by current car owner points per the NASCAR rulebook.

Thought that with the World Series now upon us the wild card race was just a distant memory? Think again. The real wild card race is this weekend at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, and it’s one that puts the collective efforts of the Boston Red Sox and Colorado Rockies to shame.

That’s a great lap for those guys and I’d really like to see them get a victory before the season is over.”

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. They’ve won the past three Sprint Cup championships, and with a series-high six wins along with a 90-point lead with just five races remaining, they seem poised to make it four straight championships.

Tony Stewart does not care that his average finish in the four races since clinching a spot in the Chase for the Championship is 19.5. Nor does he care that his once towering point lead has been wiped away since the top-12 drivers competing in the Chase have had their respective point tallies reset to 5,000, with an additional 10 bonus points awarded for each of their respective wins during the 26-race regular season.

Tony Stewart was a bit conflicted after Saturday night’s Chevy Rock & Roll 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway.
