Stewart wins USAC race: Pole sitter Tony Stewart didn’t miss a beat at Altamont Speedway on Saturday. After running his Happy Hour laps at the new Infineon Raceway, Stewart set a track record for USAC Sprint cars at the Tracy track. He later raced to a first-place finish in the 40-lap main event. Track manager Dennis Ortolan said Stewart dazzled everyone at his pre-race autograph “He absolutely endeared himself to everyone,” Ortolan said. “I had a young kid here with some medical problems and Tony was so great with him. I’ve met a lot of people doing this, but he’s something special.”(Modesto Bee)(6-23-2002)
