Stewart Feeling At Home In #71

After two years of going from one team to another with frustrating results, Shane Stewart was ready to quit sprint car racing. This year, he's ....(read more)



Shane Stewart starts new sprint car chapter at Knoxville

May 2, 2020 by Lee Spencer



Shane Stewart is ready to climb back in the saddle.  

The Bixby, Okla., native will have that opportunity when the World of Outlaws returns to racing at Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway on May 8. While many sat idle as the Outlaws experienced a three-month hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic, Stewart joined forces with Bernie Stuebjen.
Their reunion resulted in Stewart’s latest challenge: piloting the No. 71 Indy Race Parts ride next weekend at Knoxville—and beyond.

“Me and Bernie are trying to put a season together,” Stewart said. “What that season entails, nobody knows yet. But we’re going to run Knoxville next Friday—and I’m really excited about that. Bernie has a real popular speed shop around Indy. I actually raced for him around 2009-2010. We won an open race at Knoxville and a race at Eldora. I’m excited to be racing with Bernie. I think we’re going to have a lot of fun.
“We have talked about joining the All-Star Circuit of Champions, which is Tony Stewart’s series. It’s a little bit easier to do budget-wise. It’s not nearly as many races as the World of Outlaws, but it still allows you to run all the big World of Outlaws races while running for the championship. So, I’m hoping it all works out.”

Over the last two decades, Stewart has amassed more than 100 winged-sprint wins between 410 and 360cc engine competition. The 43-year-old entered racing in an era when a driver relied on talent and relationships to procure rides. But even on open-wheel tours, times have changed. After five years with Larson-Marks racing, Stewart joined CJB Motorsports for the 2019 season.

Unfortunately, the chemistry just wasn't there.

Stewart isn’t bitter. The second-generation racer just had to hustle a bit more to make the numbers work—particularly since drivers have to compete to earn a living. On March 7, Stewart also announced he would run 10 races with Roth Motorsports in California, but that was prior to the coronavirus breakout.

Throughout several junctures in his career, Stewart considered starting his own team. He questioned whether he could juggle all of the responsibilities of a driver/owner. 

“I probably could have done it, but I’ve always had good rides,” Stewart said. “I thought, ‘Why would I want to stick my neck out and try to worry about paying the bills, hiring the right people that want to do the full World of Outlaws schedule and at the same time focus on racing?’ It’s tough. 

“My buddy Jason Johnson and I had this conversation many times. He did a really good job at it. He was able to turn the business side off when he got into the race car and focus on that. I never thought I was going to be in a good enough opportunity to do that—so I didn’t. But in situations, like I’m in now, searching for a ride, I wish I would have.”

On Friday, Stewart tested at Atomic Speedway in Waverly, Ohio, to shake down his 410 sprint car with his new team. Stewart reported that the exercise went “really well” at the 3/8th-mile oval. 

While some drivers have kept their skills sharp with iRacing during the hiatus, with a five-year-old and five-month-old at home, Stewart’s priority has been his family. Still, for a driver who has raced since he was seven, being sidelined is a strange sensation.

“I don’t think anyone could ever imagine this,” Stewart said. “The racing world—especially on the sprint car side—most of us aren’t on salaries. Really, most of us haven't seen a paycheck since February when we ran at Florida (Volusia Speedway). And that’s hard. Obviously, I know there are a lot of other people in the same situation, but what makes it tough for us is we’re all independent contractors. 

“So it has been a little bit difficult to try and get money from the government, get self-employment, so that’s been a bit of a headache for some of us, too.”

Like most racers, Stewart has missed the element of competition. He can’t wait to take the green flag at the Sprint Car Capital of the World--even if the invitation-only event is being described as 'behind closed doors.'

“We’re all excited to get back to racing,” Stewart said. “It’s going to be very weird not seeing people in the stands there, but I’m sure the World of Outlaws—and the Knoxville staff—are going to be as professional about it as they can.

“Hopefully, we can put a good show on for the people that watch on DIRTVision.” 
 


Shane Stewart Leads Sides Motorsports to Top-10 Outing During DIRTcar Nationals

2/10/2020

Inside Line Promotions – BARBERVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 10, 2020) – Shane Stewart guided Sides Motorsports to a top-10 result on Sunday during the final night of the sprint car portion of the DIRTcar Nationals.

Stewart joined the team to tackle four of the five sprint car races at Volusia Speedway Park, where the week of Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions and World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series action ended with a ninth-place result. That gives Sides Motorsports at least one top 10 during the event in 13 of the last 14 years.

“We had speed all week and were just looking for it all to come together,” Stewart said. “Sunday was an efficient night and it was good to end on a positive note. The team had a rough start to the week so I think we’re all wishing it started on Sunday so we could build from there.”

Stewart qualified inside the top 10 twice during his four races and he locked directly into the feature through the heat race each night. Stewart won a heat race to make the dash on Sunday. Unfortunately, he drew the third-highest number to start sixth in the race. He finished where he started to line up sixth for the main event. Stewart battled between fifth and ninth throughout the 30-lap race before securing the team’s best result of the week.

Team owner Jason Sides enjoyed his best night on Saturday when he maneuvered from 26th to 18th, which was the third-most cars passed in the main event.

“I didn’t get qualified well any of the four nights,” he said. “Qualifying is so critical and Volusia doesn’t really start to get racy where you can pass a lot of cars until midway through the main event so if you don’t qualify near the front you’re in for a long night.”

Sides will return to competition this Thursday through Saturday at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, Fla., during the Ronald Laney Memorial King of the 360s. Sides was the event champion in 2002 and he won a preliminary night at the bullring in both 2015 and 2016.




Sides Motorsports Welcomes Shane Stewart to Team for DIRTcar Nationals


Inside Line Promotions – BARTLETT, Tenn. (Jan. 27, 2020) – Winged sprint car veteran Shane Stewart is joining Sides Motorsports next week during the DIRTcar Nationals presented by Bozard.

Stewart and team owner Jason Sides will both compete during all three nights of World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series competition at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla.

“We’re excited to have Shane with the team and hope we can have both cars running up front throughout the weekend,” Sides said. “Shane has proven himself as a winner and we’re confident he can be competitive from the start.”

Stewart captured his first career win at the half-mile track during the DIRTcar Nationals opener last year. He enters the trio of Outlaws races with 34 career victories with the series. Stewart, who was the 2005 World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year, placed a career-best second in the Outlaws championship standings in 2015.

Sides has also been victorious at Volusia Speedway Park, where he scored a triumph in 2011. He has earned at least one top 10 during the DIRTcar Nationals in 12 of the last 13 years.

“Volusia is a big, wide and fast track,” he said. “It’s key to qualify well so that you put yourself in a good position for the heat race, which can then line you up for success during the rest of the night. I’m confident that both Shane and I can be fast out of the box.”

The DIRTcar Nationals represents the only current races this season with Stewart behind the wheel of a Sides Motorsports entry. Tim Kaeding is slated to return to part-time action with the team for the third straight year once the World of Outlaws hit the West Coast in March.

Feb. 7-9 at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., for the DIRTcar Nationals presented by Bozard

CJB AT THE KNOXVILLE NATIONALS: Stewart & Thorson Show Speed at Knoxville
Trip to the Dakotas up next for World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car

CARLISLE, PA. - August 12, 2019 - Few events in motorsports match the prestige and grandeur of the  NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals. 

CJB Motorsports drivers Shane Stewart and Tanner Thorson each took to the half-mile oval located in Knoxville, Iowa on their respective qualifying nights. Thorson was up first Wednesday, August 7th and timed in 15th, won his heat race and charged from 10th to 7th in the A feature to lock himself into Saturday nights Last Chance Showdown event.

Fellow CJB driver Shane Stewart set quick time on Thursday evening but wrecked in turn one on the opening lap of his heat race. With too much damage to the #5 machine, the team elected to regroup and reattempt to qualify by running the Friday night portion of the week. With a total reset (and only a handful of "locked in" spots up for grabs) Stewart and the #5 team came out swinging. They timed in 4th before finishing 3rd in their heat race. A 3rd place finishing the nights feature event meant that the team had secured a 23rd place starting spot for Saturday's $150,000-to-win event.

For Saturday evening, Thorson finished 20th in the Last Chance Showdown. Though he didn't advance to to the main show, the Minden, Nevada didn't leave empty handed as he secured the 2019 Nationals Rookie of the Year award.

Stewart and the #5 team had their work cut out for them.  The Oklahoma native was starting his 19th consecutive Nationals A-main and had 50 laps to make a charge to the front from the 23rd starting position. He went on to finish 12th at the end of the vent. 

"Lot's of mixed emotions this year at Nationals," said Stewart, pilot of the #5 Killer Instinct Crossbows , Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "High expectations for sure. Crashing (on our qualifying night) just put us in a huge hole. I felt like Saturday night was pretty decent considering where started."

With Nationals in the rear view mirror, the team embarks on their second west coast journey of the season. Stops in North Dakota are up next in the form of River Cities Speedway near Grand Forks and Red River Valley Speedway near Fargo. Stewart charged from 23rd to 11th in during the June 8th stop at River Cities earlier this year. 
"River Cities is always a good race," Stewart said. "You can start in the back and win that race pretty easily if things work out. I have had some success at Fargo so looking forward to getting back there!"

THE BIGGEST WEEK OF THE YEAR: Stewart & CJB Take on Knoxville
Top-5 in  Ironman 55 springboards CJB into busy Nationals Week

CARLISLE, PA. - August 6, 2019 -  The most wonderful time of the year for the sprint car community isn't Christmas time. It's the week of the famed NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals. For one week in August, the entire industry focuses their attention on a small town in Iowa. 

Before Shane Stewart and the CJB team headed to Knoxville, a weekend doubleheader at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 beckoned. The annual Ironman 55 weekend is a true test of endurance as 55 laps around the 1/3rd mile oval near St. Louis, Missouri isn't for the faint of heart. Stewart timed in 19th on Friday, August 2nd. A 7th place finish in his heat race meant that Stewart had to come through the Last Chance Showdown. In the feature, the Bixby, Okla. driver charged to 14th. 

The following night, $20,000 was on the line in the Ironman 55. Stewart timed in 7th, finished 3rd in his heat race and the dash before finishing 4th in the feature event.




For the 8th year in a row, the Knoxville Nationals week was kicked off with the Bell Helmets Capitani Classic. The event, held on Sunday, August 4th, served as the final tune up before the epic four day event begins on Wednesday, August 7th. Stewart and Nevada's Tanner Thorson were in action. Stewart timed in 22nd, finished 5th in his heat race and 20th in the B feature. Thorson timed in 18th, finished 7th in his heat race and 15th in the B feature.

The next night saw Stewart in action at Southern Iowa Speedway near Osklaoosa for the Front Row Challenge. Stewart timed in 12th, won his heat race and finished 11th in the feature on Monday, August 5th. 

"Pevely was good the second night," said Stewart, pilot of the #5 Killer Instinct Crossbows , Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "It was a solid night for us. We struggled in the Cappy and had some mechanical issues as well. Oskaloosa was another fun night and I feel like we learned something."

Up next is the big event itself; the NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals. Qualifying nights will split the field to determine whom might make the 24 car starting field on Saturday night. Stewart will be in action on Thursday night while Thorson will take to the half mile on Wednesday night.

"We will be going all out for sure," Stewart said. "It's very important to get off to a good start and i am confident we will have great speed. It's a pressure packed night but I am sure we will all rise to the occasion."

"Struggled at the Grove on the first night and was trying to find speed. Second night, I felt like we made a huge gains and got caught up in a wreck, which killed out night."

August dawns with a grueling weekend at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 near Pevely, Mo. for the annual Ironman 55 weekend. Stewart and CJB will look to add to a great legacy there before heading to Iowa for the start of the famed NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey's General Stores in Knoxville, Iowa.

"Our results were not what this team wanted but my guys never gave up. It was hot for four days straight and they continued to work hard for me. We actually started to find some things towards the end of the week that made me more comfortable."

A swing through Pennsylvania is next on the docket for the tour. On Tuesday, July 22nd is the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup at Lernerville Speedway near Sarver. On Friday and Saturday nights, it's another double header at Williams Grove Speedway near Mechanicsburg. These three events will wrap up the slate of events for the month of July.

"I have never been that great at Lernerville so I am hoping Barry (Jackson) can help me there," Stewart said. "Getting back to the Grove is a good thing in the sense it's in Barry's backyard. We had a couple of decent finishes there earlier this year so we should be good there."

Top-10 at CEDAR LAKE: Stewart & CJB Finishes 6th During July 4th Stretch
Hartford Speedway & Wilmot Raceway on the docket for 'Greatest Show on Dirt'

CARLISLE, PA. - July 9, 2019 -  CJB Motorsports added a 6th place finish during a three race swing throughout South Dakota and Wisconsin. 

CJB and driver Shane Stewart headed to Brown County Speedway near Aberdeen, South Dakota on Wednesday, July 3rd. In the event, the team timed in 17th, finished 6th in his heat race and 13th in the feature.

Three separate rain delays forced series and track officials to delay the feature until the following day which created a double header for the teams and fans. For Friday's feature, Stewart started 4th and finished 6th. 

For Saturday's event, Stewart timed in 15th, finished 4th in the heat race and charged from 15th to 11th in the feature.

"We qualified good at Cedar Lake. Was running good in the feature and the rain stopped our efforts. On Saturday, we went out to qualify and the track was completely gone. Made for a long night for my guys. Salvaged an 11th place finish. The driver made a few errors, which kept us off of the podium for Friday and Saturday night's race."

A two race swing in Michigan & Wisconsin keeps the CJB team trucking throughout July with stops at Hartford Speedway and Wilmot Raceway on Friday, July 12th and Saturday July 13th, respectively. CJB swept this weekend when it was run in 2017.

"Hartford was a little different last time we were there because they shortened the track so it isn't the big half mile it used to be," Stewart said. "Looking forward to getting back there. The race two years ago was a good one. Wilmot is a place both the team and I have had success at. It's a home town track for Jenn's (Shane's wife) family so we want to have a good run for sure!"

Rain cancels event at Dubuque; Outlaws set for AGCO Jackson Nationals

CARLISLE, PA. - June 24, 2019 -  As the summer months begin to roll, so does the #5 CJB Motorsports machine with driver Shane Stewart. A 4th place finish at Beaver Dam Raceway has team looking forward to one a huge event on the calendar; the 41st Annual AGCO Jackson Nationals.

The following nights scheduled action at Dubuque (IA) Speedway was canceled due to rain.

The state-of-the-art facility represents home base for one of CJB's biggest partners, Tod Quiring.

KNOXVILLE KNOCKOUT: Stewart & CJB Put on Strong Show at Knoxville
Weekend doubleheader set for Wisconsin and Iowa

CARLISLE, PA. - June 17, 2019 -  Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway is a special place for sprint car drivers. Running well there is a ticket to immortality during the month of August. If this past weekend is any indication of things to come, CJB Motorsports and driver Shane Stewart may very well be adding their names to a select few later this summer.

The Brownells Big Guns Bash represented the only chance for World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series drivers and teams to take to the half-mile oval located on the premises of the Marion County Fairgrounds before the famed Knoxville Nationals later this summer. The opening night was on Friday, June 14th. Stewart timed in 4th, finished 2nd in the heat race, 2nd in the dash and 3rd in the feature. The following night, Stewart set quick time, won his heat race,  finished 7th in the dash and 8th in the feature.




"The team was happy about our Knoxville trip," said Stewart, pilot of the #5 Killer Instinct Crossbows , Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "We showed that our speed is where it needs to be in qualifying, which will be huge come August. Our finishes this weekend were not that bad either. Drawing the eight (in the dash draw) on Saturday after the rain (delay) was difficult to overcome in the feature but we still had a good finish."

The month of June rolls on as the Outlaws stay in the upper mid-west. On Saturday, June 22nd, the tour will head to Beaver Dam (Wis.) Raceway for the Jim "JB" Boyd Memorial presented by Karavan Trailers. The following night, Dubuque (Iowa) Speedway will present the next challenge for the stars and cars of the, 'Greatest Show on Dirt.'  
"Beaver Dam is going to be a tough race for me but I know our buddy Jason (Johnson) will be watching and keeping us all all safe," Stewart said, referencing the loss of fellow driver Jason Johnson in an accident at the track in 2018. "I have had some good runs there in the past and this year the ante will be a little higher since it pays more to win. I have never been to Dubuque so that will be fun trying to get that track figured out. I have watched videos and looked online. The track looks really wide so it should produce a good race for everyone."

JUNE JUMPER: Stewart & CJB Hit Three Tracks to Open Sixth Month of 2019
Double Header at Knoxville Raceway on tap next for 'Greatest Show on Dirt' 


CARLISLE, PA. - June 10, 2019 -  The month of June is well underway and CJB Motorsports is crisscrossing the country. Fresh off of a win at the Nashville Fairgrounds, the team took on a trio of short tracks in the upper Midwest. 

Up first was a stop at Fairbury (Illi.) Speedway on Tuesday, June 4th. CJB driver Shane Stewart timed in 17th, finished 6th in his heat race, transferred into the feature via the Last Chance Showdown and finished 9th in the feature after starting 22nd. 
River Cities Speedway near Grand Forks, N.D. played host to the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Sprint Car Series next on Friday, June 7th.  Stewart timed in 11th, finished 8th in his heat race and rallied from 23rd to 11th in the feature.




Lastly, the team took on Granite City Speedway near Sauk Rapids, Minn. on Saturday, June 8th. Stewart was 15th fastest in time trials, finished 4th in his heat race and 11th in the feature.

"Had some tough luck at Fairbury at the start of the feature," said Stewart, pilot of the #5 Killer Instinct Crossbows , Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "My guys did a great job getting the front axle changed. Once we got back out, I felt like I had one of the fastest cars on the track. Tough luck on Friday for sure. We just struggled on Saturday. It seems when we qualify better and get ourselves in the dash, we always finish up front and have been in contention to win those races. Have to keep working on that part of our program."

A trip to "Sprint Car Heaven," is up next for CJB and Stewart. Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway will host the 'Greatest Show on Dirt,' for the Brownells Big Guns Bash on Friday, June 14th and Saturday, June 15th. There is plenty of reason for optimism in the CJB camp as many fans will remember a dominating performance by the team at the 2017 Knoxville Nationals. Also of note, Stewart is quite successful himself at the Marion County Fairgrounds with four Knoxville Nationals Preliminary night wins, four Knoxville 360 Nationals victories and three career podium finishes in the Knoxville Nationals. 
"I have always loved Knoxville," Stewart said. "Being the only time we get to run there before the Nationals makes it a really important weekend for our team."

CARLISLE, PA. - June 4, 2019 -  No matter how many victories a driver and team score on the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series tour, each and every one of them is special. 

Just ask Shane Stewart and the CJB Motorsports team as they finally broke through for their first Outlaw win together on the second night of the Music City Outlaws Nationals at the Nashville (Tenn.) Fairgrounds Speedway on Saturday, June 1st.  The event paid a cool $25,000 to win and featured a unique guitar themed trophy.

The following night, Stewart timed in 2nd, won his heat race and finished 2nd in the dash. From there, the #5 machine had a front row seat for the feature.

"Big win for our team in Nashville this past weekend," said Shane Stewart, pilot of the #5 Killer Instinct Crossbows , Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "We all needed that pretty badly plus it was on a huge stage! Couldn't be happier for my team. It makes all the hard work worth it."

With an Outlaw victory in hand, the team now looks to continue a strong wave of momentum into Fairbury (Illi.) Speedway on Tuesday, June 4th. From there, stops at River Cities Speedway near Grand Forks, N.D. on Friday, June, 7th and Granite City Speedway near Sauk Rapids, Minn. on Saturday, June 8th complete a trek up north.

CJB Motorsports Takes on Charlotte & Lawrenceburg
Music City Outlaw Nationals on on tap next in Nashville

CARLISLE, PA. - May 28, 2019 -  Memorial Day is a time for remembrance and racing. While many race fans will associate this weekend with Monaco or Indy, the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series has become a fixture at the the Dirt Track at Charlotte near Concord, N.C. during this stretch. 2019 saw a typical one night stop expand into a two day event at the 4/10th's of a mile on the grounds on the famed Charlotte Motor Speedway. 

CJB Motorsports and Shane Stewart timed in 21st on the opening night, which as held on Friday, May 24th. A 7th place finish in his heat race meant that Stewart had to race his way into the feature via the Last Chance Showdown. Once in the feature, Stewart started 21st and finished 18th. 
The following night, Stewart timed in 22nd but charged from 8th to 3rd in a thrilling heat race. In the feature, the team went from 13th to 12th. 




"Charlotte was a mess for some reason," said Shane Stewart, pilot of the #5 Killer Instinct Crossbows , Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "We are still battling some engine stuff. When you switch engine builders, it takes a minute to figure out what the engines like in the slick. I felt like we just spun all weekend."

On Memorial Day itself, the team made the journey to Lawrenceburg (Ind.) Speedway for an exciting event. 
Stewart and the #5 machine timed in 1st overall, won his heat race, finished 4th in the dash and had the same result in the feature.
"Rebounded nicely with a solid top-5 finish at Lawrenceburg," Stewart said. "Felt we had a shot and a good car from time trials on."

May ends and June begins on the Outlaw calendar with the first ever Music City Outlaw Nationals. The famed Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway in Tennessee has been covered in dirt and looks to put on a thrilling show Friday, May 31st and Saturday, June 1st.


"I am really excited to get to Nashville," Stewart said. "It's a new market that we haven't been in and I think the fans are really going to like what the see."

SPEEDING UP: Northeast Swing Continues Momentum Boost for CJB Motorsports
Multiple top-5's continues strong run for CJB; North Carolina & Indiana up next




CARLISLE, PA. - May 22, 2019 -  As the calendar rolls towards the summer months, the temperature isn't the only thing rising. 

CJB Motorsports and Shane Stewart took to Lincoln Speedway near Abbottstown, Pa. on Wednesday, May 15th for their first race of the season as a "home team." The organization calls Carlisle, Pa. home so any race in the Keystone state carries an extra level of urgency. 
Stewart timed in 15th, rallied from 8th to 4th in his heat race and charged from 14th to 5th in the feature.

"I thought our week in Pennsylvania went really well," said Shane Stewart, pilot of the #5 Killer Instinct Crossbows , Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "We had two top-5 finishes and we qualified pretty well at Williams Grove. Barry and I are starting to mesh more and more. Sometimes these things take time but we continue to grow as a team."




On Friday, May 17th, the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series headed to WIlliams Grove Speedway near Mechanicsburg, Pa. for the first of two nights of racing during the annual Morgan Cup weekend. 
Stewart and the #5 machine timed in 7th, finished 2nd in their heat race, finished 3rd in the dash and ended up 4th in the feature. 
The team was back at it the following night where they timed in 5th, finished 4th in their heat race and 11th in the feature.
A quick jaunt up to Weedsport (N.Y.) Speedway was on tap for Sunday, May 19th until heavy rains forced series and track officials to cancel the event. 
The Outlaws then competed at Bridgeport Speedway in Swedesboro, N.J. on Tuesday, May 21st. Stewart timed in 14th, finished 4th in his heat race and moved from 11th to 9th in the feature.
The Outlaws will continue a busy, "Month of May," with stops in North Carolina and Indiana.  A two day show awaits the, 'Greatest Show on Dirt,' at the Dirt Track at Charlotte near Concord, N.C. on Friday, May 24th and Saturday, May 25th. The weekend culminates with a Memorial Day tilt at Lawrenceburg, (Ind.) Speedway on Monday, May 27th. 
"I have had good runs at both Charlotte and Lawrenceburg so I am looking forward to getting back to both tracks," Stewart said. "Being in Charlotte for two days will be a little different but the crowds should be good considering it is (World) 600 weekend."

BIG E GIVES CJB A BOOST: Strong Night Has Team Aiming High for Homecoming



CARLISLE, PA. - May 19, 2019 -  Though the final stat line may not fully show it, the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series first stop at the legendary Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, OH provided a much needed boost for CJB Motorsports and driver Shane Stewart.

Friday, May 10th was the opening night at the half-mile for the series in 2019. Stewart took his first Quick Time award of the season and then backed it up with his first heat race win since Volusia in February. The team made the dash, started 7th in the feature and came home 13th.  



"It felt really good to qualify well," said Shane Stewart, pilot of the #5 Killer Instinct Crossbows , Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "We are slowly getting these engines figured out and Barry has been working hard on that part of it. I was really tight in the feature and couldn't turn. That track has changed a lot in the last two years."

The following night of scheduled action at Eldora was hampered by Mother Nature. That program will now be made up on Wednesday, July 17th. That will give the series a unique, four day weekend for the annual Kings Royal event. 
The team now heads for Pennsylvania for races on their own turf. Wednesday, May 15th will see the series visit Lincoln Speedway near Abbottstown before a two day show at Williams Grove Speedway near Mechanicsburg on Friday, May 17th and Saturday May 18th. The weekend culminates with a stop at Weedsport (NY) Speedway on Sunday, May 19th. 
"Really looking forward to getting to Pennsylvania, especially with Barry in my back pocket" Stewart said. "I have been getting more comfortable at Lincoln and Williams Grove so I'm excited."

STEWART SHINES IN THE OZARKS: CJB Nets Top-5 Run at Lake Ozark Speedway
Mother Nature cancels & postpones rest of the weekend; Outlaws stay in Mid-South


CARLISLE, PA. - April 29, 2019 -  Three World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series events were scheduled for the weekend of April 26th thru the 28th. Due to persistent rains in the Midwest, the only event completed was the race at Lake Ozark Speedway near Lake of the Ozarks, MO on Friday, April 26th.

Shane Stewart and the CJB Motorsports machine timed in 16th of 32 cars, finished 3rd in heat three and rolled off 12th before powering his way to 4th in the feature.



"We had an awesome care at Lake Ozark Speedway," said Shane Stewart, pilot of the #5 Killer Instinct Crossbows , Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "It was really good for us because it had been a tough weekend not having our leader (Crew Chief Barry Jackson) around. We're hoping he gets back out with us soon."

The following nights act at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 near Pevely, MO was canceled due to saturated grounds. The weekends' end cap, a stop at Jacksonville (IL) Speedway, was off to  a great start with record breaking laps in time trials and superb heat racing action. Unfortunately, heavy rains came and forced the postponement of the event to a date to be named later on.
 
The 'Greatest Show on Dirt,' stays in the mid-South area with a pair of stops at Riverside International Speedway near West Memphis, AR on Friday, May 3rd and Tri-State Speedway near Haubstadt, IN on Saturday, May 4th. CJB Motorsports has won four out of the last five events held at Tri-State Speedway with drivers Paul McMahan and David Gravel.
 
"I have raced at West Memphis several times and enjoy the small track excitement it brings," Stewart said. "Tri-State is a place that I typically struggle at but the 5 car has not! I am excited to get there with this team to see what we can do."

TEXAS TOP-10: Stewart & CJB Wrap Grab Top-10 in Lone Stop at Devils Bowl
Rain washes away big money night; Outlaws in action in Missouri next

CARLISLE, PA. - April 15, 2019 -  Shane Stewart and the CJB team got things started off on the right foot as they returned from the west coast by locking in a 10th place finish in the opening night of the Texas Outlaw Nationals. The race, held on Friday, April 12th, was the only one to be completed on the weekend as Mother Nature washed away the following nights action.

For Friday evening, Stewart timed in 14th quick, finished 4th in his heat race and started the feature in 11th. 



"I'm not sure what the issue is," said Shane Stewart, pilot of the #5 GoMuddy.com, Big Game Tree Stands, Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "Our night was more about the pill draw than anything. Everyone that went out late qualified in about the same spot."

The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series will take Easter weekend off before returning with a three night barn storm through the mid west. Stewart and the team will take the weekend off to spend time with family.

"A weekend off isn't what we really need," Stewart said. "It will be nice to spend some quality time with away from the track with family and enjoy what Easter is all about."

Stewart Scores Third Place Finish at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford
Top-10 at Perris caps off strong weekend as CJB wraps up California swing



CARLISLE, PA. - April 1, 2019 -  April Fools Day gets many people each year. It's a day for jokes and pranks and even fake news. One thing that is the truth is that fact the CJB Motorsports had a strong weekend to wrap up the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series spring break tour out west. 

Keller Auto Speedway near Hanford, Calif. played host to the series on Friday, March 29th. Shane Stewart powered the #5 machine to a 13th place time trialing effort before finished second in his heat and third in the dash. That meant the #5 car would start on the inside of row two for the feature.
"We had a pretty good weekend," said Shane Stewart, pilot of the #5 GoMuddy.com, Big Game Tree Stands, Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "We almost got our first (Outlaw) win of the season at Hanford."




The following night, the 'Greatest Show on Dirt,' made its way to Perris (Calif.) Auto Speedway for a tussle on the big half mile. Stewart timed in 16th, finished 5th in his heat race and crossed the line 8th in the feature. 

"The car had good speed both nights," Stewart said. "The wins are coming for this team!"

As mentioned previously, the tour heads east now for a pair of stops in Arizona on Friday, April 5th at USA Raceway near Tucson and on Saturday, April 6th at Arizona Speedway near Queen Creek.  Both CJB & Stewart are seeking their first Outlaw wins at these tracks.

"I've had some good runs at the next two tracks," Stewart said. "I'm looking forward to both of these tracks in Aizona."

DRENCHED IN CALIFORNIA: Stewart & CJB Sit Tight While Rain Rolls Through
Keller Auto Speedway and Perris Auto Speedway close out west coast swing



CARLISLE, PA. - March 25, 2019 -  Rain continues to pelt the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series as scheduled events at Ocean Speedway and Placerville Speedway were affected by rain. The event at Placerville will be postponed until September 11th; the Ocean Speedway event has been canceled.

The series now sets their sights on the last weekend of racing in California for the spring break tour. Keller Auto Speedway near Hanford will host the 'Greatest Show on Dirt,' on Friday, March 29th and Perris Auto Speedway will follow on Saturday, March 30th. 

"I am looking forward to getting back in the car, especially after all these rain outs," said Shane Stewart, pilot of the #5 GoMuddy.com, Big Game Tree Stands, Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "Hanford is a unique place but it's been reshaped sense the last time we were there. Hopefully it races good and we can get two grooves going. Perris is always a fun place to race.I have had some good finishes there. It's also unique in how it races and how you have to utilize the bottom of the track, especially late in the race."




STOCKTON STUNNER: Stewart & CJB Have Victory Snatched Away 

Ocean Speedway and Placerville Speedway beckon as Outlaw tour rolls on



CARLISLE, PA. - March 18, 2019 -  Winning at any level of motorsports is difficult. Winning at the pinnacle of a certain form auto racing is almost impossible. Point being; wins are hard to come by as many World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series drivers will tell you. CJB Motorsports and driver Shane Stewart nearly tasted victory for the first time together as the Outlaw tour made stops at Silver Dollar Speedway near Chico. Calif. on Friday, March 15th and the Stockton (Calif.) Dirt Track on Saturday, March 16th. 

At Chico, the CJB team got off to a rough start in time trials and had to race their way into the nights feature event. Eventually, car #5 came home 14th. 
"Chico was a blur," said Shane Stewart, pilot of the #5 GoMuddy.com, Big Game Tree Stands, Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "We learned a ton from that night that helped us at Stockton."

With St. Patrick's day right around the corner, Lady Luck seemed to be riding with the #5 a bit more as the tour made a stop at the Stockton Dirt Track the following night. Stewart timed in 7th, finished 2nd in his heat, made the DIRTvision Fast Pass Dash and started the nights feature event in 4th. Stewart was leading during the feature until a flat right rear slowed his torrid pace and regulated him to a 13th place finish. 

"My car continued to get better throughout the night," Stewart said. "One of our main goals is to continue to keep learning each other and I feel like we continue to do that."

More chances at victory will present themselves on Friday, March 22nd at Ocean Speedway near Watsonville, Calif. and Saturday, March 23rd at Placerville (Calif.) Speedway. CJB has one win at Placerville, which came in 2017. 

"I am looking forward to those tracks," Stewart said. "The #5 car already has a win at Placerville so I think our chances of having a strong finish should be good."






TULARE CHARGER: Stewart & CJB Nap Top-10 Finish at Exciting California Track 

West coast swing continues in earnest with stops at Chico and Stockton.



CARLISLE, PA. - March 12, 2019 -  California typically has a reputation for sun and warm weather. However, each spring, the rainy season blankets the third largest state in the United States. Rain and dirt tracks don't play well together as CJB Motorsports and the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series lost one night of racing action at Thunderbowl Speedway near Tulare, Calif. 

The tour was, however,  able to fire their engines on Saturday, March 9th for the scheduled second night of racing action at the tight California bullring. CJB driver Shane Stewart timed in 14th of the 33 machines in attendance, finished third in his heat race and lined up 10th for the main event.




"We had a good car in Tulare," said Shane Stewart, pilot of the #5 GoMuddy.com, Big Game Tree Stands, Weikert's Livestock, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "The Outlaws and the track did a great job getting that race in. It was actually raining while we were running the A main so we got lucky to get the entire race in. Starting 10th and finishing 6th wasn't too bad, considering the conditions."

The Outlaws annual Spring Break tour out west continues with planned stops at Silver Dollar Speedway near Chico, Calif. on Friday, March 15th and the Stockton Dirt Track near Stockton, Calif. on Saturday, March 16th. Stewart & CJB are searching for their first wins at Stockton but Silver Dollar Speedway has been far more kind. CJB won the spring race at the racy bullring in 2013 with Paul McMahan while Stewart won one race a year at the track from 2015 thru 2017, culminating with the Gold Cup Race of Champions victory in 2017. 

"I love the 'cowboy up,' kind of tracks and that is what you get with Chico and Stockton," Stewart said. "I have enjoyed some success at both places and am looking forward to getting back there this weekend."

ROLLER COASTER:  CJB & Stewart Stout to Open 2019
Season kicks off with strong finishes and a win as team heads for Texas



CARLISLE, PA. - February 13, 2019 - Ask any racer competing for a championship and they will tell you that a strong start to a season is key for any title hopes. The good news for Shane Stewart and the CJB Motorsports team is that they can check this particular item off their 2019 list.
  
The Carlisle, Pennsylvania based team rolled south to Florida for seven nights worth of racing with the Ollies Bargin Outlets All Star Circuit of Champions and the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series. Bubba Raceway Park was up first with three nights of action, beginning on January 31st. On their first night together, Stewart and the CJB team registered a 2nd place finish. The following two nights yielded finishes of 15th & 18th.  

"We were really good  on the first night," said Shane Stewart, pilot of the #5 GoMuddy.com, Big Game Tree Stands, Ecynbro Trucking, Nyce, Crete and Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn & Landscape machine. "That was the only night that the track really got slick. The following two nights were a bit stickier and we struggled in qualifying."
 
On Wednesday, February 6th, the team made their way to Volusia Speedway Park near Barberville for two more nights of All Star action. On the opening night, Stewart tamed the speedy half-mile oval for his first win of the season and first in the CJB #5. The following night, the team grabbed a 6th place finish after starting the A feature in 18th.

"Getting that first win early really shows that the #5 car is ready to go and validates all of the hard work the guys put in over the winter," Stewart said. "Once again, the track slicked off on that night and we're really pretty good in those conditions. I think we'll see that a lot more throughout the season so that has us excited. The next night, we struggled in qualifying as the track stayed hooked up and wet."

With five nights of All Star action in the books, it was time to begin the 2019 World of Outlaws season. On the opening night for the 'Greatest Show on Dirt,' Stewart notched a runner up finish once again and followed that up with a 19th place finish the following night. Another scheduled night of racing with the Outlaws, scheduled for Sunday, February 10th, was washed away by rain.
"We were lucky to get through our heat race and that put us in the dash," Stewart said. "Barry (Jackson) and I talk about that a lot. Being in the dash is the key with the Outlaw races. We struggled again the following night. All in all, though, we felt like Florida was a successful trip."

The CJB crew will return to action on Friday, February 22nd at Cotton Bowl Speedway near Paige, Texas before moving over to Kilgore and the LoneStar Speedway the following night. CJB scored the win at Cottonbowl in 2018.

"Barry mentioned to me that David (Gravel) and I have similar driving styles which gives him some confidence in that he doesn't have to be reinvent the wheel when it comes to getting me comfortable in the car," Stewart said. "That being said, I look forward to going to Paige since the CJB car won there last year. I've had some success in the 360's & 410's at Kilgore. It can be hard to get ahold of but it will be fun."
