Late-Race Gamble Doesn?t Quite Pay Off for Stewart

Office Depot/Old Spice Driver Finishes 11th in AAA Texas 500

It was the right call at the time but, as it turned out, there weren?t quite enough laps left in Sunday?s AAA Texas 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth for Tony Stewart to take full advantage of the four fresh tires he pitted for during a late-race caution. As a result, the driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) had to settle for a still-respectable 11th-place finish.

Stewart and the Office Depot/Old Spice team decided to forego a trip down pit lane during a lap-200 round of stops under caution by the leaders. In return, Stewart and his No. 14 Chevrolet were awarded second place on the racetrack behind then-leader Greg Biffle and a solid top-five finish looked increasingly promising.
