Tony Stewart didn’t run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, but he did have a run-in – several, in fact – with Team Red Bull’s No. 83 car during Sunday’s Camping World RV 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City.
Three separate pit road mishaps and one unrelated on-track incident – all with the No. 83 car of Brian Vickers – conspired to leave Stewart 40th when the 267-lap race mercifully ended.
During Stewart’s first three pit stops, Vickers’ No. 83 Toyota – which had the pit stall directly in front of Stewart – blocked the two-time Sprint Cup champion in his stall, thwarting the quick service given to Stewart by his Home Depot over-the-wall team.

Winchester, IN – While the boss Tony Stewart was having a horrible day at Kansas City, Levi Jones saw his USAC National Sprint Car lead vanish. Brady Bacon of Broken Arrow, Okla. won Sunday afternoon’s 30-lap “Winchester Oldtimers Weekend” USAC National Sprint Car race at the Winchester Speedway.

The victory was the first in five USAC Sprint races at Winchester for a car NOT fielded by car owner Keith Kunz, whose drivers Darren Hagen and Cole Whitt finished second and sixth. Hagen had won the last two races at Winchester and was followed at the checkered flag

Tim McCreadie of Watertown, New York, won the 5th Annual Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals presented by Super Clean on Saturday, September 27, at the Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa.
The victory was worth $40,000 and he earned every penny with one of the most exciting races ever seen at this speedway in front of a huge and enthusiastic record crowd for this event. The 100-lapper saw drama throughout.
The excitement started before the green flag fell when polesitter and preliminary favorite Darrell Lanigan pulled back to the work area on the pace laps with no power steering. He did rejoin the field and start on the pole, but when the green flag fell, Jimmy Owens took off with the lead from outside the front
