Tony Stewart continues his miraculous turn-around with a win in the Nextel Cup Series New England 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway in Louden, NH. This is his 3rd win of the season, in a run that has seen him win 3, and finish 2nd and 5th in 5 starts. Virtually untouchable in the 1st half of the race, the rest of the field was eventually able to adjust their cars to be competative.
Stewart gained the lead 51 laps in by passing Ryan Newman, and led 232 of the 300 laps. However, the Joe Gibbs Racing team had a bit of a scare when defending Nextel Cup champion, Kurt Busch, took over the lead with 60 laps to go. Despite the tense feelings in the pits, Stewart was patient and once his tires came around was able to take the lead back for the final time and never look back. At the finish it was Busch in 2nd, Bobby Labonte 3rd, Kyle Busch 4th and Greg Biffle rounding out the top-5.
The next race is the Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA with race coverage beginning at 1:00pm EST on TNT.
