Newman Completes Magic
Mile Sweep
Ryan Newman completed a sweep of the NASCAR Whelen Modified
Tour races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Saturday with a
dominating win in the F.W. Webb 100. It was the third Modified
win of the season for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver, who
also picked up the victory at Bristol.
Driving the No. 7 Aggressive Hydraulics/Menards Chevrolet for
NASCAR Sprint Cup crew chief Kevin "Bono" Manion, Newman led a
race-high 45 laps but had his two-second lead erased by a late
wreck between Bobby Santos and Ryan Preece. That set up a
green-white-checkered finish which saw Newman briefly lose the
lead to Doug Coby before he made the final pass for the lead on
Lap 102.
Jimmy Blewett provided one last challenge before settling for
second, followed by Mike Stefanik, Coby and Ron Silk.
Stefanik's finish, combined with the misfortune of several of
the championship points contenders, bunched up the points lead
with two races remaining. Stefanik moved to with two points of
leader Bobby Santos. Santos, who was sidelined by the incident
with Preece as they battled for a top-five spot, finished 19th.
Ted Christopher was involved in an early wreck and finished 30th
to drop to third in points. He is 65 out of the lead. Silk moved
up a spot to fourth, within 89 points of Santos.
The race featured 16 lead changes among six drivers.
The F.W. Webb 100, which aired live on SPEED, will re-air
Thursday, Oct. 14 at 6 p.m. on SPEED.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will return to the track
Sunday, Oct. 3 with the CARQUEST Fall Final at Stafford (Conn.)
Motor Speedway.
