Office Depot/Old Spice Drivers Runs Out of Gas While Leading on Penultimate Lap
Tony Stewart led three times for 100 laps in Sunday?s Sylvania 300 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon. And in the first race of the 10-race Chase for the Championship, the driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) was on the cusp of grabbing hold of this year?s title fight with an opening-round win.
But while leading with less than two laps to go, Stewart ran out of fuel. He coasted around the 1.058-mile oval for the final circuit of the 300-lap race and finished 24th, the last driver on the lead lap. Clint Bowyer, who served as Stewart?s primary competition for much of the race, wound up with the victory.
