No. 20 Toyota gives Stewart 5th NNS victory

s Tony Stewart claimed his fifth NASCAR Nationwide Series victory this season at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, leading the final 65 laps of the 1.058-mile oval course.

His car, the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, has won eight of 17 races in 2008.

Stewart credited crew chief Dave Rogers, a native of Vermont, with the consistently great performance of the No. 20 Camry.

“There’ve been four drivers to win in this car, so it’s not the drivers – that’s for sure,” Stewart said. “We’re the fortunate ones to be able to drive this thing.”

Teammates Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch, who won previous races in the No. 20 Toyota, finished second and third in the Camping World RV Sales 200.

Former series champions Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards finished fourth and fifth, followed by David Ragan, David Reutimann and Mike Bliss.

"It's pretty spectacular," Edwards said of the No. 20 car. "Those guys are doing a great job. There are ups and downs in this sport and, right now, they're on the up side and we've just got to look at what they're doing and emulate them and try to get them by the end of the season." Hear what else Stewart had to say in the post-race interview.
