Newman pulls a double pole and race win in the Modified and Cup series at a track that he doesn’t particularly like simply because the banks are too flat and he prefers 20 degree banking when he races.
It’s Newman’s first victory this season, marking his third Cup win at NHMS and Stewart's best finish. Newman is now 8th in points and Stewart is 11th.
To make things even sweeter for Newman, this is his first Cup win as a dad and baby Brooklyn's first visit to victory lane along with her mommy Krissy.
“I’m just really proud of the U.S. Army team and Chevrolet and all the people that help out. It’s a big deal for us. Gene Haas is here. Everybody is cutting up and having a good time.”
Stewart went on to tell media, “Man this is one hell of a perfect weekend for Stewart-Haas Racing. It was a sweet one two qualifying and one-two in a race. I’m so damn proud I can’t see straight.”
