Finishing second usually doesn’t put a smile on Tony’s face, but after the streak of races he’s had lately, he can’t be all that mad. His stratagy and postion to win was more like the Tony Stewart we saw in the first half of the season.

His post race interview was very good. He pointed out how much different it is not to just be outside the chase, but outside racing the chasers. If this does have a good point, it’ll give him a different perspective of those outside racing him next year when he’s once again in the chase. Don’t think for a minute he’ll be out next year.

Still didn't get any bonus points. They're worthless now, but 5 would have been a change of pace. Even Robby Gordon got 5.

I’ll be out of town for a few days, so no posts unless I get a renegade internet hookup somewhere on the beach.
