March Martinsville Speedway
March 26, 2012None of what Tony Stewart has accomplished recently makes sense.
For one, he never wins this early in a
season. Of his 46 career victories, only six came before June. And only
four came prior to race No. 10. Yet, he’s 2-for-5 in this young season.
Two, with seven wins in the last 15 races,
Stewart’s on a rare run. Jimmie Johnson ripped off a similar clip in
2009-10, winning four Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup races in 2009 and
then three of the first five in 2010. But this has seemingly come out of
nowhere for Stewart. Remember, he entered last year’s Chase winless.
Now, the three time – and defending – series
champion has catapulted to fourth in the points. Impressive, especially
considering Stewart has an average finish of 17.3 in his non-wins this
season.
Why stop now? Martinsville Speedway’s on
deck, site of Stewart’s thrilling pass – and eventual win – during last
year’s Chase. Race No. 6 – the Goody’s Fast Relief 500 – is Sunday at 1
p.m. on FOX.
With much anticipation, the NASCAR Camping
World Truck Series returns to action this week for its second race, the
Kroger 250, on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. on SPEED.
