Two too many laps proved to be another disappointing result at Charlotte Motor Speedway for Tony Stewart ,Greg Zippedelli and Stock Car racing fans of the #20 Joe Gibbs Racing team.
For the second year in a row Stewart was snake-bitten by NASCAR's longest race of the season during the annual Memorial Day 600 mile marathon event. With just two laps remaining in the 400 lap race , Tony Stewart flattened a right front tire at the head of the pack and ended up finishing in the 20th position .
Stewart and team began the race from the 32nd starting position and methodically moved the #20 Stock Car through the competitive field throughout the day with great pit stops and obviously the correct chassis adjustments to lead the nearest competition of race cars (Kasey Kahne's # 9 ) by more than six seconds only to end up with a disappointing finish again .
Last season Tony had to stop for fuel while leading with five laps remaining in the race which allowed Casey Mears to capture his first ever Nascar race win by stretching his gas mileage at the one and a half mile speedway in North Carolina .
What's it going to take to get Tony Stewart into victory lane at Charlotte ?
Will he be able to get this Memorial Day Monkey off his back ?
