7 reasons to watch the LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway: No. 2 - Kyle Busch/Tony Stewart
It’s probably not possible to make a good estimate of how many fans Tony Stewart picked up Saturday night by outmaneuvering Kyle Busch in the final moments of the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway and scoring his second points victory of the season.
The frontstretch grandstands erupted in spasms of joy as Busch, the circuit's proven bad boy, tried to block Stewart's victory charge and failed. Adding to insult was the fact that Busch's spinning car wound up getting slammed by at least two others before it came to rest in a crumpled heap near the end of pit road.
Busch clearly was upset at the turn of events and went to the infield medical center only after some strong convincing by NASCAR officials. Stewart, meanwhile, was explaining how good he felt about a great run but how bad he felt about the race ending in such calamity.
You'll want to watch the LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway this week to see how these two driving greats respond to what was a wacky weekend in Florida.

Jul 7, 2009 at 5:07 AMKyle is on a bad roll, he made his move too early. You got to give JJ some credit, when I seen the 48 pushing the 14. I knew it was all over but the crying. Kyle should have just settled for a top 5 run. You would have thought he might have gotten some help from the 11 car, or his brother. When it was over even his own team mate in the 20 car ran into him. Should be interesting to see how the 18 will run this weekend, a couple more wrecks and he couold miss the chase. The tracks are now lining up for the 14 car, and with the points lead he will be going for wins, along with the 48.
