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.
