It was a tough night for Josh Richards at Volusia Speedway Park on Friday. Running in the 5th heat race Josh was involved in an accident that damaged his front end. That placed him last in the 3rd B Main. Starting 12th in his B Main, Josh was able to move up to 9th, finishing 2 spots ahead of NASCAR driver Ryan Newman but not doing well enough to transfer into the A Main. The winner of the A Main was Clint Smith. It was Smith’s first win Continue reading Tough Night at Volusia for Josh Richards Tony Stewart talks to the media after taking the pole for Saturday’s Nationwide race. You had a great lap here in qualifying. Did you expect it in single car runs? “We backed up what we ran yesterday. The winds are a little higher today than what we practiced in yesterday so to back it up I thought was a really good run for these guys.” You were top-five in times but that didn’t seem to matter, did it? “I think we are pretty good here, but we will wait and see. I’m pretty excited about starting this race tomorrow. I think this car is going to be pretty fast.” How hard was it for you to turn that fast lap today? “It was a lot of work today. I had to leave Continue reading Tony Stewart Nationwide Qualifying Quotes Daytona Beach, FL – Tony Stewart will start Saturday’s Camping World 300 from the pole as he turned in a lap in 49.741 seconds (180.937 m.p.h.). The pole victory was the fifth of Stewart’s Nationwide career and first since Watkins Glen in 2005. “It was really fast in drafting practice, these guys at JGR did a great job,” said Stewart. Clint Bowyer will be outside of Tony as he posted a lap of 49.972 seconds. The green flag will drop on the Nationwide series at Continue reading Stewart Takes Pole for Saturdays Nationwide Race Tony Stewart continued riding the momentum from his second-place finish last Saturday night in the non-points Budweiser Shootout by finishing second in his Gatorade Duel qualifying race on Thursday. The result will slot the driver of the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota sixth in Sunday’s 50th running of the Daytona 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. Stewart was in contention to win his third Gatorade Duel, as he led once for nine laps in a race extended four laps past its scheduled 60-lap distance after a green/white/checkered finish. It was the green/white/checkered finish that seemed to end Stewart’s shot at adding to his Gatorade Duel wins from 2005 and 2007, as Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin used a slingshot move to pull Continue reading Another 2nd Shows Stewart Ready for Victory Lane on Sunday Barberville, FL — Josh Richards opened the 2008 World of Outlaws Late Model Series season exactly the same way he did a year ago – with a convincing victory during the Alltel DIRTcar Nationals. But the path ‘Kid Rocket’ took to the checkered flag in Thursday night’s 50-lap A-Main was decidedly different than in 2007. A dominant flag-to-flag winner in last year’s tour lid-lifter at the half-mile oval, Richards had to battle from start-to-finish this time to pocket a $10,150 top prize for his seventh career WoO LMS triumph. “It was a lot harder tonight,” said Richards, who started third but didn’t take over the lead until lap 31 when Shane Clanton of Locust Grove, Ga., retired with mechanical trouble. “I was a nervous wreck the whole race.” Richards, 19, Continue reading Richards Opens WoO Late Model Series Season With Victory For Second Straight Year Tony Stewart teaches the flooring workshop at the Continue reading Countdown to Daytona – 2 to Go |
