The good and bad of New Hampshire
In 16 Cup races over his NASCAR career at New Hampshire Intnernational Speedway, Tony Stewart has won two races, led 764 laps and was a top-10 finisher 10 times. He even won a race there when he was racing on the Indy Racing League in 1998.
But all of his races haven't ended well at New Hampshire. Last year was a good example. After qualifying fifth, Stewart finished 37th.
"If you miss on something it can be a miserable day," said Stewart, driver of the No. 20 Chevrolet for Joe Gibbs Racing. "It seems like you don’t see but three or four guys during the day that really hit it. That’s what makes a day there miserable when you miss. It’s just a matter of keeping a well-balanced car all day. And it seems like you can have bad track position, but if you have a car that drives well, you can drive your way to the front. It’s not a situation you cringe at if you have a good driving car.”
