Bypassing Marco Andretti using a classic NASCAR bump-and-run manoeuvre, Ryan Newman won the 2022 SRX Series race for the first time.
At Stafford (Conn.) Motor Speedway on Saturday, Newman, who began tenth in the 12-car grid for the main event, pushed Andretti from the lead with 6 of the race’s 75 circuits left and went on to triumph.
The former NASCAR driver achieves his inaugural triumph in the Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) Series.
“A really special night to win here tonight at Stafford. Amazing night for me in the SRX Series,” Newman said. “For Bruton Smith and his family, this is special. For Bryan Clauson and his family, we got to park it in Victory Lane.
“To beat the best between Marco (Andretti) and Paul (Tracy), Tony (Stewart) and all the guys that are a part of this deal. It’s so special to be a part of and then to beat them. I’m so honored to be a part of it and look forward to three more.”
Paul Tracy came in third, and Andretti came in second. Bobby Labonte took Heat 2 while Ryan Hunter-Reay triumphed in Heat 1.
“Ryan did the bump, the same thing that everybody is going to try to do to win the race. He did it with perfect amount of laps left,” Andretti said. “I was screaming on the radio because I was driving blind, I didn’t know how many laps left to go, so I missed timed that.
“Overdrove, wheel-hopped it at the end, but I’m learning so much from these Cup guys. They are just too good.”
On Saturday, the six-race series will travel to Nashville (Tenn.) Fairgrounds. Tony Stewart, Andretti, Greg Biffle, Hunter-Reay, Labonte, Newman, Tracy, Michael Waltrip, Tony Kanaan, Helio Castroneves, Matt Kenseth, and Josef Newgarden, a resident of Nashville, will all compete alongside local ringer Cole Williams.
The action begins at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, and it can be watched live on Paramount+.
