Texas nightmare for Stewart

| | Comments (0) |

Tony Stewart had his share of problems in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.
First, he crashed into Jimmie Johnson's car, after Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya made contact with each other. Montoya escaped relatively unscathed, but Stewart lost control of his car and crashed into Johnson's car.
Later in the race, Stewart spun out twice and by the end of the race he was two laps down and finished in 25th.
“I don’t know if we had a winning car, but we had a solid top-10 car no problem,” said Stewart, driver of the No. 20 Chevrolet for Joe Gibbs Racing. “It was a totally different race car than (Saturday), obviously. The car was evil all day. It would jump sideways off the corner and it just wasn’t the same race car it was (Saturday). I wish I knew why it was that way. We fought a no-handling car all day and fought it good enough to keep it in the top-10. But the deal with Montoya, the flat tire and… it all just added up to a bad day.”
