My guy and two-time cup champion Tony Stewart won his first race as an owner-driver last night.Way to go Smoke!
When he left Joe Gibbs Racing (a powerhouse in NASCAR) to become a team owner, I thought he'd go the way of other owner-drivers, like Michael Waltrip, or worse, Robby Gordon. For sure he'd never be competitive again and, oh well, I like rooting for underdogs.
Stewart's never been an underdog this season. He's been comfortably in the top ten since the first race, and is currently second in the point standings.
Stewart is typically a late-season driver, with most of his wins coming in the second half of the schedule. I hope last night's trip to victory lane is the first of many to come this year.
Go Tony!

If you're wondering why I send you a text last night, I thought you were camping and unable to see the race.
Those last 10 laps were FUN! Newman made a good showing too. (Thanks Mr Hendrick) :)
We were home, but the satellite feed was compromised on account of heavy rain. I got to see the last laps though. When Stewart pounced on Kenseth and Kyle, I knew he was going to run away with that race.
Everyone is having success with Hendrick except for Junior. Tough year so far for him and his fans.
