NEWMAN BIG WINNER FOR DAYTONA 500 WEEKEND |
|
SUNDAY - Newman wins Daytona 500, leads 1-2 Penske punch
 Ryan Newman got a shove from his teammate Kurt Busch on the last lap to give car owner Roger Penske his first Daytona 500 win.
And what a win it was. It was the
50th running of "the Great American Race" and Penske's Dodges held off
a spine-tingling, last-lap challenge by Joe Gibbs Toyota teammates Tony
Stewart and Kyle Busch.
The race, one of the most
competitive in Daytona's storied history with 42 lead changes at the
start/finish line, went right down to the wire.
Any one of 10 to 15 drivers could
have won when the green flag waved for the final three-lap showdown.
Three caution flags in the final 25 laps kept re-arranging the lineup.
At one point, Jeff Burton was the
leader on a restart and wound up 13th. On another restart, Juan Pablo
Montoya was second on a restart and wound up out of the top 20.

FORMULA ONE, BUT HE’S THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE ISN’T HE? HE IS A GUY KIND
OF LIKE TONY STEWART WHO JUST LOVES TO RACE.
CG - “That’s what I’ve been saying all along. That’s what I
said the day we announced him in Chicago. I still stand by that. I was
