Tony Stewart won the rain delayed Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International Raceway on Monday, holding off Australian
Marcos Ambrose over the final 25 laps to score his fifth win at the road course in Upstate New York. It was Stewart's third win in his first season as a car owner and for Ambrose who was second, a career best both are
Safety-Kleen sponsored teams.
Carl Edwards hung tuff all afternoon to finish third.
Kyle Busch,
Greg Biffle,
Juan Pablo Montoya,
Kurt Busch,
Max Papis,
Clint Bowyer and
Denny Hamlin rounded out the top 10. Polesitter Jimmie Johnson, seeking his first career road win, finished 12th. Kyle Busch, 13th in points, closed the gap on 12th-place Matt Kenseth for the cutoff spot in the Chase for the championship. Busch, who entered the race 102 points behind Kenseth, narrowed the gap to 58. The next stop for the Cup teams is Michigan. Thanks to Norm and Tim from the Avon, NY branch for all the help at the track - great job.
