J.D. Byrider Sponsors Tony Stewart in Super Late Model Race
Oregon, Wisconsin – The action was fast and furious at the Swiss Colony All Star Challenge at Madison International Speedway on June 30 as NASCAR champs Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart battled for top 5 finishes. Kenseth, who started from the pole then dropped to second, battled back to take the lead on lap 5. He continued to lead until lap 89, when he was passed by eventual race winner, Scott Wimmer.
“This is just amazing, just to get the chance to race with Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart and to pass Kenseth for the win is just a neat deal, “a smiling Wimmer stated in Victory Lane.
Kenseth finished in the runner-up spot for the third time in the four All-Star Challenge events at MIS. “We just got beat”, Kenseth stated after the race. “We were too loose in the first half and we were too tight in the middle tonight and could never get it quite right. We were just holding up for a long time and he was just patient and did a good job. He picked his spot and got me there.”
Tony Stewart, current NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points leader was competing in his fourth All-Star Challenge. He came home with a fifth place finish in his #14 Chevrolet sponsored by J.D. Byrider. This was his best finish so far. He was a late arrival to the track and had limited practice time, but he was able to prove a theory, “That just proves my theory that the longer I am here during the day and the more practice I get, the more I screw this car up,” Stewart said with a smile on his face. “Joe Wood and Jason Schuler and their crew at Pathfinder Chassis, every year they give me a great race car and I didn’t just screw it up this year. So I got here and ran 12 laps and got in the show.” Stewart qualified ninth out of 37 cars.”
