Thanks to everyone who participated in this weeks edition of Tony Trivia. This week’s answer: In the July 2011 race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, teammates Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart qualified 1-2 and finished 1-2. The last time a team started 1-2 and finished 1-2 was Hendrick Motorsports in the 1989 Daytona 500. However, the last time a team started 1-2 and finished 1-2 with the same drivers in the same order was back on April 7, 1957 at North Wilkesboro (N.C.) Speedway with DePaolo Engineering. There, Fireball Roberts won from the pole, while teammate Paul Goldsmith started second and finished second. In Hendrick’s instance, Darrell Waltrip won, but started second. Ken Schrader started from the pole and finished second. In one weekend, Stewart-Haas Racing qualified 1-2 and finished 1-2 for the first time in the team’s history. It was a banner day for SHR, and this weeks Throwback Thursday photos take a look at some of the highlights from start to finish of that day. Come back next week for another edition of Tony Trivia.
