Tony Stewart's 2008 is a tale of two series. While he's winless in Cup and just hanging on to a Chase spot, Stewart is making the most of his limited Nationwide Series schedule. Smoke earned his fifth Nationwide victory in seven starts Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota he drove to Victory Lane has won eight of 17 races this season.
Stewart got in position to win when he restarted third after taking two tires during his final pit stop on lap 129 of the 200-lap race. He passed Carl Edwards on lap 136 and led the rest of the way.
Denny Hamlin finished second and Kyle Busch was third. Series points leader Clint Bowyer finished ninth and now has a 182 lead over David Reutimann, who finished seventh. Go here for full results and here for points standings.
