How will Tony [Stewart] get his cars in the top 35 in Owner Points?

Question

I know he will use his past champion's provisional, but what about his other car?

Answer 1

Tony Stewart could also buy owners' points from DEI if a team has to be closed after the season, and then take the seat in the other car, where he has the use of the champion's provisional for the first 5 races.

Answer 2

If he hires Ryan Newman i'm sure they will be capable of putting the car in the show and remember the team is in this predicament because of a rules infraction or they'd both be in the top 35.  I don't even see it as an issue whatsoever.  You're talking about a 2 time champion here and not JJ Yeley .

Plus I forgot to mention we are only halfway through the season.  Who's to say both cars won't be in the top 35 by seasons end?   Again its a mute point.  Remember all the morons that said Toyota wouldn't win this year?

Answer 3

They will have to qualify to get in and rack up enough points in the first five races to do that.

If Tony hires Newman, they should be OK as he's a great qualifier and good driver.

Answer 4

The first few races will help him accumulate the current years points.

I believe, and I will not be offended if I am corrected, that they as a new team would get credit for Manufacturer points.

At least that's what I think.

Answer 5

Haas will get those cars in the top 35 ownerspoints. If not that, thats probably a huge goal for them.

Answer 6

Stewart gets in automatically because of the champions provisional and Newman is historically a great qualifier.

Answer 7

Hire a driver good enough to to earn the points to be in top 35 or higher

Answer 8

Tony will get a good driver.

Answer 9

Well, don't count Tony out.  He has been with the greatest football coach ever and has learned alot from him.  I think you will find that Tony is a formidable force to be reckoned with.

Answer 10

The other car's ability to get in the top 35 next year would depend on that driver's ability or he maybe a past champion too (highly doubtful).

In general how that driver does in the 1st 5 of next season would look him in by race 6.
