Tony Stewart did it again on Sunday at the road course at Watkins Glen, winning his 3rd Nextel Cup race in 4 weeks. He is on fire right now and the Hendrick boys better be worried, as he will now be seeded 3rd behind Ace and Gary (Jeffy and Jimmie for all you Saturday Night Live fans).Tony dominated early but wheel hopped in turn one and spun out early in the race. We got to watch him come back from 19th postion to get back up in the top 3. After passing teamate Denny Hamlin, it looked like he would run 2nd to Jeff Gordon. All the sudden Jeff spun out in the same turn Tony did earlier in the race. Tony took the lead, but from no where came Carl Edwards. It looked like it would be a tight finish, but Tony pulled away and took the checkers.
The race was the best road race I have seen in a long time. Tons of action and near fisticuffs betwenn Kevin Harvick and Juan Pablo Montoya.
After the Harvick, Montoya slap fest, the field was stopped by the red flag. As the cars were sitting on the track, a shirtless fan jumped the fence and stuck his mug in the right window of Matt Kenseth's car looking for an autograph. A very funny moment, unless you are that clown sitting in a upstate New York jail right now.
