Congrats Tony Stewart for IROC win

Ahh... road course beating and banging, flared tempers and these were the other guys. Not Tony!! Before the race started, they asked Tony what his strategy was as he was starting in the back row of the 12 car race. He said he was going to lay back and watch the mess unfold in front of him and then go up through the field. He didn't have to wait long and made up like 8 spots in the first few turns. Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman seemed to have issues with each other, causing them to take each other for a spin and they stayed about 15 seconds behind the rest of the field for a good portion of the race due to their little playful game of bumper cars. And those two are friends. Boys, boys, boys!!
Numerous games of bumper cars between other people, but at least Kinser did not land on his roof at any point during this IROC race, though he finished a lap down. Matt lost the point lead to Tony. Stewart got out front early, led the most laps and won the race without much incident. They pretty much summed it up on TV, Tony was able to out-brake everyone. I'm sure Tony would love to add an IROC Championship to his list of others. Tony - you are an excellent driver and can drive the wheels off just about anything!!

Tony was awesome last night. He looked like he was out for a Sunday drive.

Steve Kinser did have a little bit of trouble, but he kept all four wheels right side up this time.

IROC on dirt??? LOVE IT!!!!
