Vegas Sprint Car Nationals

[vegasrocks]

Tony Stewart won the Las Vegas Sprint Car Nationals today. He has been the champion of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series twice.

The redraw following the B-Features placed Tony Stewart and teammate Jessica Zemken together in the third row in sixth and fifth positions, respectively. At the opening green flag, Sam Hafertepe Jr. ran from the fourth row to take the lead. Following a caution flag for debris with 15 laps remaining, Stewart, driving Steve KInser's car, passed two cars and took the lead.

As soon as Stewart took the lead he began to put distance between himself and second-place runner Brian Brown. Jack Dover occupied third place. The caution flag flew again with 10 laps remaining and Stewart held the top spot on the restart and once again ran away from the field. Another caution flag with two laps remaining gave Brown one more shot at Stewart. The final green flag flew, Stewart dropped the hammer and went on to win his first ASCS Lucas Oil Sprint Car Series win. Brown finished second and Dover was third.

Here is how everyone finished the race....

I won't pretend to know a whole lot about racing. It's never been my thing. However I have heard a ton about Tony Stewart and I know he is the s#@t! He is really good at what he does.

Congratulations to him and all of the top performers. My husbands cousing is a big Stewart fan so I am sure he is delighted!
