The driver of the No. 14 Office Depot Chevrolet, Tony Stewart captured his second NASCAR Sprint Cup title this season at the end of the nail biting, decisive race held at Homestead-Miami.
Carl Edwards, who started on the pole for that race, led the most laps while Stewart yo-yoed through the field after fixing damage to the front of his Chevrolet.
Amazingly, “Smoke” took the lead with 36 laps remaining. Edwards, in second place, stayed in full-out pursuit mode until the checkered flag waved, but finished 1.306 seconds behind Stewart. Both drivers scored 2,403 points with the tiebreaker – five wins to one – falling in Stewart’s favour.
Let's relive the season that started with Trevor Bayne’s historic Daytona 500 victory.
