Tony Stewart recorded his fifth NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) victory of 2008 today at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Stewart started eighth and led the field twice for 75 laps in his Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) No. 20 Old Spice Camry. It was his first NNS win at New Hampshire. Earlier this season, Stewart registered NNS wins at Daytona, California, Talladega and Darlington. Camry drivers have now won 12 of the 18 NNS races this year. Along with Stewart, other Camry drivers who have won NNS races this year include Kyle Busch (four wins), Denny Hamlin (two wins) and Joey Logano (one win). Other Camry drivers in the field today included Hamlin (second), Busch (third), David Reutimann (seventh), Mike Wallace (15th) and Jason Leffler (32nd). Camry drivers led a total of 158 laps in today's 200-lap race. In addition to Stewart (75 laps), other Camry drivers to lead the field today were Busch (63 laps) and Reutimann (20 laps).

TONY STEWART, No. 20 Old Spice Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing Finished: 1st Who made the two-tire call on the last pit stop? "The master himself, Dave Rogers (crew chief), he's behind every one of these wins this year. We were about two changes away from getting it right. I give Dave (Rogers) so much credit -- he knows when you tell him that we have a long way to go that he's not afraid to make a big change. That's what won us the race today -- his confidence and his being able to make the call there and pick two tires. He won us the race today."

How much did you have left in that car with Denny Hamlin coming strong in second? "Nothing for the last 15 or 20 laps. We were still about two changes away from being where we wanted to be, but the important thing was not knowing what was going to happen and what was going to happen when we got to traffic and if we were going to get in a situation where we were going to have a green-white-checkered. I was trying to take care of the right-front tire because we were still too tight, but you could tell that Denny (Hamlin) decided at the same time that it was time for him to make another stab at it. He ran us down quite a bit there, but then we got into traffic and I got through traffic pretty good. To see myself and Denny (Hamlin) and Kyle (Busch) all run one-two-three like that -- it shows what a line-up we have at Joe Gibbs Racing."

How was your run today? "We had a terrible day (laughter) -- no, we had a good day. Obviously anytime you end up in victory lane it's a good day. It shows the depth of this team today. I was a little too tight all day, but Dave Rogers (crew chief) and for this being a home race for him, it puts a lot of pressure on him and it puts a lot of pressure on all of us because we all want to win for him and his dad. To get in a position there on the last pit stop, we were a top-five car all day and we could lead for a little bit, but we would get too tight and the guys behind us would catch us and go by. But that last stop, that's what won us the race and that was Dave's (Rogers) call halfway through the pit stop -- he calls just a two-tire stop and the plan was for four. That gets us track position and we were able at the beginning of the run to get the lead and the adjustments that he made just on the right side tires with wedge and everything on that last stop was enough to get us close enough to keep us in the lead for the rest of the day. Denny (Hamlin) obviously had a good car and ran us down and if the track position was reversed then he would have won the race. Just being able to stay up front and be able to run my pace and not have to sit there and abuse the right front (tire) was a big key. Just not having to over drive the car and build air pressure in the right front to where we were just going to keep getting tighter and tighter -- that was the key to it, the two tire stop at the end and getting that track position. That's something you have to have a lot of confidence as a crew chief to make that call during a stop like that and that's what Dave (Rogers) possesses and that's why he's won eight races this year." 

TONY STEWART, No. 20 Old Spice Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing (continued) How difficult was it to pass today? "Track position was big, but there was a portion of the race there where (David) Reutimann was leading and I think Kyle (Busch) was second and (Clint) Bowyer was third and they were all three just bam-bam-bam, stacked up there and if anybody made a mistake then they were getting passed. I think in that last segment and the later the day goes, the better everybody gets their cars and the harder it is to have an advantage over somebody else. When you can get out there and you can lead like that and you can run your own line and not necessarily be pressured from the back bumper so much, it's easier for you to be able to take care of your car and take care of your tires and it makes the guys behind you -- they try to make that deficit up early in the run when the tires are fresher and the cars feel better. I think everybody's cars halfway through the run start to get tight -- it's just to what degree and whose gets worse than the others. If you could sit there and be out in the lead halfway through a run then you have a good shot of being able to hold them off and that was provided that you didn't abuse your tires doing the same thing that they were trying to do getting tied up. Denny (Hamlin) ran a smart race too I thought, he ran up to us early in the run and I think he got in a spot there where he was having to work really hard to try to close in those last five car lengths. I don't want to speak for him and you guys (media) probably know this already because you talked to him, but it seemed like to me that he just took care of his tires and took a break from the pressure and just kept enough pressure on us to where I couldn't totally relax, but at the same time he took care of his stuff. With about 20 (laps) to go he made another charge and got within about four car lengths of us. You know that when you do that you're creating a lot of brake temperature and with a lot of brake temperature, you're increasing your front tire pressure. It was a matter of at that point when he made that charge up there, I think that's when we started getting into traffic and I felt like our car was really maneuverable in traffic. I really wasn't that good if I moved up, I seemed to get tighter in the center of the corner, but as long as I could move down the race track and had either the lane I wanted to run in or below that then I was in pretty good shape and that seemed like that was what kept us ahead of him and kept him from getting any closer. Then we got into some of those lapped cars and we actually pulled away once we got into more of that traffic and he had probably used up every bit of good that was left in his tires at that point. I felt like that was a smart move on Denny's (Hamlin) part of how to wait until the end and not burn it up the whole run trying to get to us and probably lose third or drop back to third or fourth trying to get at it that early. He rode it out and made the most of it to the end."

DAVE ROGERS, Crew Chief, No. 20 Old Spice Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing What was the race like from your perspective? "Our Old Spice Toyota was pretty good yesterday and the cloud cover came in this morning and we had to have our car in line so early for qualifying that I didn't free it up enough for the weather. We fought tight all day and we were pretty tight. We knew track position was valuable and we planned on doing four tires that last stop and I just kept looking up pit road. That was the advantage of Tony (Stewart) qualifying so well that we get to pit down there towards turn one and I just watched what everyone was doing -- immediately a parking lot erupted and they were all coming, I knew we were going to get buried in traffic and have a bad day so I called the audible and went for two tires and hoped for the best. Tony (Stewart), he always drives a brilliant race when he's in our car, he doesn't push it when he doesn't have to -- he beat those guys through traffic and he gives us a lot of credit for the stop, but I think the driver had a lot to do with it too."

How quickly did you realize that you had to change from four tires to two tires? "It was a split decision, just a gut decision. We have Tony (Stewart) on a limited schedule and this 20 Joe Gibbs Racing team is definitely trying to eye this owner's championship, but we are trying to accumulate as many wins with these Cup drivers as we can. At that point I wasn't points racing, I was trying to put Tony (Stewart) in a position to where he might have a shot at winning. It was a gut feeling and I think I said it before I even thought about it and when Tony (Stewart) left pit road I just hoped it would work, but I wasn't so sure. I remember the races we lost a whole lot better."

How special is this win for you at your home track and having your dad here with you? "We had some really special wins this year -- Tony's (Stewart) first win at Talladega, Tony's (Stewart) first win at Darlington and I knew those tracks meant so much to him and to be able to accomplish them was so gratifying. Then you go to Richmond and that's Denny's (Hamlin) home town track and going into those races, you put so much pressure on yourself because you want to do so well for these drivers. These drivers are the bread and butter to our program and anytime you can give them something, it means a lot to yourself. I never thought about winning Loudon (NH). We worked really hard, we weren't that happy with our Milwaukee car so we logged a lot of hours, me and my engineers logged over 50 hours in three days at the shop preparing for this race, but it wasn't because it was Loudon (NH), it was because it was another race that we wanted to win. The last five laps I realized that this was a pretty big one for me and when he crossed the stripe it was very emotional for me. Darlington was big, Talladega was big, but this was probably the biggest. It's big too because Dad was about off the guest list because he's been to a few races and we haven't gotten it done and I thought he was bad luck so we'll bring him back for a few more now."

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 32 Hass Avocados from Mexico Toyota Camry, Braun Racing Finished: 2nd How strong was your car today? "We had a good run. We had a good car all day. It's just track position. We had one bad pit stop that put us back four or five spots after we already gained them all under green. Track position was big. You just couldn't pass out there. With the low gears that we run in these cars it makes it very, very tough to get a run on a guy coming out of the corners. You could hold a guy up if you wanted to and just run the line that he was running. You could argue the 18 (Kyle Busch) was the best at the end, but if I was in his line he wasn't going to get around me. Same thing with the 20 (Tony Stewart). I could run him down but every time I got to him he'd pull down lower to where I was at and he'd pull back away. It was just a track position race."

Did you feel like you had a chance to win coming down the stretch? "We could get to Tony (Stewart) right there we just couldn't get position on him. It seemed like his car was tighter, ours was getting tighter but he was able to hang on. It's just enough laps for him."

What does it mean to finish second after such an emotional week for the Braun family? "It means a lot. In order to finish in between those two (Joe) Gibbs (Racing) teams like that -- I know what they have over there. I know what they have over here at Braun Racing -- it's amazing. It's a great finish for everyone. I've just got to thank everyone who let us run these cars black in memory of Todd Braun's mom, Momma B I guess you could say -- Great Clips, LifeLock, Haas Avocados from Mexico, Toyota and everyone's support. It definitely means a lot. Congratulations to Tony (Stewart). I could get to him but it's just not enough."

Did you feel like the Toyota's were the best handling cars on the track today? "I think the Toyota's today were handling better than the Chevrolet's were in the corners. Nothing to do with the power really down the straight away."

How difficult is it to take four tires and not gamble coming down the stretch of a race? "I qualified bad. I qualified 17th so it was hard to pass. My car was turning better than everybody's in front of me but as soon as they pulled down in my line, I'd lose the front end and it looked like I didn't know what I was doing. It's product of it. The biggest thing is the gearing of these cars that really makes it tough. It used to not be that bad. I don't blame it all on aero by any means. I think the cars are tight in general. The setups are. The gear keeps the tires on the car longer so everyone kind of runs the same speed."

Was it frustrating to not be able to get upfront? "That was the first time I was upfront all day. Kyle's (Busch) probably a little bit more frustrated because he had a really good car early it looked like. We were happy to get the track position that we did. We were mired back fifth, sixth, seventh all day. Gaining on guys, gaining on them, catching them and then falling back. We knew what we were in for."

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 Z-Line Designs Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing Finished: 3rd How was your car during the race today? "The Z-Line Designs Toyota was able to bring home a third and not a mark on it. Fortunately, that was the first time in a few races that we haven't crashed once so that was good. We'll take it and go on to the next one. Fortunately today we just got beat out by track position. Those guys took fuel only and on that last stop we decided to take four and came up through there somewhat and just got mired behind them there. We got too tight and couldn't get by them. Once you start getting strung out in single file that far into a run everybody is just kind of at the mercy of their car and running the same pace. You can't really pass that well and that was about it. Thoughts and prayers are out to the Braun family this weekend. I finished behind Denny (Hamlin) there and that heavy hearts on all of us."

Was taking four tires the right decision on the last pit stop? "Obviously track position was much more important. You had a winner who just got fuel. That's the most frustrating part is now with this restrictor deal you just can't really pass and everybody gets strung out and they all start running at the same speed. You can't catch up to nobody and you can't pass anybody. That's more frustrating than just getting beat on track position and stuff like that -- just not being able to pass." 

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 Z-Line Designs Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing (continued) Have the Toyotas reached the point of being unstoppable in NASCAR in general? "I don't believe so. I think that anybody out there is capable to win a race. It's just the matter of the right teams and the right equipment. Denny (Hamlin) was in a Braun car and they've always been fast on the flat tracks and stuff. The 38 (Jason Leffler) won last year at ORP and we've been fast this year everywhere with the JGR (Joe Gibbs Racing) stuff. I think it's pretty much anybody's game. The Hendrick cars seem to have the most power from what I've seen -- qualifying lies on the ticker and racing out there on the race track with them. Besides the Hendrick cars and the Fords, we're probably tied for second or about third- best motor-wise."

How difficult is it to take four tires and not gamble coming down the stretch of a race? "I didn't know it was going to come down to be a track position race. I was upfront most of the day and wasn't back in traffic trying to pass and trying to do all of that stuff. If I would've known how bad it was we probably would've taken two or even just gassed it. Unfortunately, we got out strategized there at the end and tried to come back through there but just wasn't able to do it. I think we were the furthest progressor of the guys that took four tires. Now that we know what happened today I'm sure that will happen tomorrow and we'll have to play the track position game there, too."

Was it frustrating to not be able to get upfront? "Yeah, it's frustrating, but I'm happy for JGR (Joe Gibbs Racing) and Toyota and all of the guys on that 20 team. They are pretty much the dominate force this year -- they have been. They got upfront when it mattered the most and kept their position. I came from eighth or seventh, something like that, and got to third so I passed a few guys but once Tony (Stewart) and Denny (Hamlin) got strung out too much. I tried running them down, got to them and then got stuck behind another lap car and fell another straight away behind so it was just to hard to keep up with them."

DAVID REUTIMANN, No. 99 Aaron's Dream Machine Toyota Camry, Michael Waltrip Racing Finished: 7th How strong was your car today? "It was good. We led a little bit. We just never really made any changes -- just a little bit with the track bar and stuff. We took four there toward the end and a lot of those guys took two and we were coming back up through there and got together with another car and bent the right front fender in there pretty bad. It's just disappointing. We felt like we had a shot to win."

Did the contact affect your car? "Yeah, these things are so sensitive on aero stuff anyway. It doesn't take a whole lot. That's kind of what killed us there at the end. It didn't help us any."

MIKE WALLACE, No. 7 GEICO Toyota Camry, Germain Racing Finished: 15th

JASON LEFFLER, No. 38 Great Clips Toyota Camry, Braun Racing Finished: 32nd
