ROSSBURG, Ohio — Tony Stewart won his second consecutive Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) event Saturday night, going from last to first at his Eldora Speedway.
Stewart, who won the SRX race at Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway a week earlier, now has won two of the three events in the six-race series. He led six of the final seven laps at Eldora, edging Kody Swanson by .481-second at the finish.
“Kody found the bottom. I couldn’t roll the bottom as good as he could. I was real dependent on being up on the top. I just think that’s what Eldora does – the complexion of the track changes during the race,” Stewart said in a news release. “I thought the top was good in the beginning in the main and then Kody got just crushing everybody on the bottom and got rolling through there. But the good thing was when he went by, everybody else followed him down there like they were in a parade and left the top open. And the longer we went, I finally got the momentum going on the top to get back by him.”
Stewart plans to compete in his All Star Circuit of Champions TQ Midgets event Tuesday at the Bartholomew County 4-H Fairgrounds. The track will be named after him in a ceremony beginning at 5 p.m., and racing will follow at around 6 p.m.
