7 reasons to watch the LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway: No. 4 - Tony Stewart

Why watch? To see if Tony Stewart can become the all-time winningest driver in Chicagoland Speedway’s short history. The track, which began hosting Cup events in 2001, has a pair of two-time winners in Stewart and Kevin Harvick.
Talk about two drivers going in opposite directions. Stewart, who typically sizzles during NASCAR’s summer stretch, far exceeded most observers’ expectations during the first half of this season. With two wins in points races and a 180-point advantage in the standings over second-place Jeff Gordon heading into Saturday’s LifeLock.com 400, he’ll look to continue that torrid pace as the second half of the 2009 campaign begins at Chicago.
Meanwhile, Harvick, who won the first two events at Chicagoland Speedway in 2001-02, will simply try to get back on track.
Will there be a reversal of fortune for two of NASCAR’s fieriest drivers? You’ll have to watch and see for yourself.
