Tony Stewart võitis Sears Pointis
Tony Stewart
NASCAR jõudis tänavarajale Sears Pointi ning Tony Stewartil õnnestus võtta siit etapivõit, kuna võistlust juhtinud Robby Gordonil oli probleeme ringiga mahajäänud Kevin Harvickiga.
Harvick sai stop&go trahvi boksis ning tuli taas rajale otse liidri seljataha, olles kaotanud ühe ringi. Seejärel üritas ta Gordonist mööda saada, et samale ringile jõuda, kuid liider tahtis teda enda seljataga hoida, et tagant tulevat Stewartit kinni hoida. Harvick nügis Gordonit neljal korral ja lõpuks sai ikkagi Stewart neist mõlemast mööda.
“Ma arvasin, et ta sõidab minu taga puhtalt ja jääb minu ning Stewarti vahele,” ütles Robby Gordon. “Kevinilt ma seda ei oodanud, aga eks see ole võidusõit. Ma ausalt ei oodanud, et ta mul külje ette lükkab, aga ta ei teinud seda mitte ainult korra, vaid suisa neli korda.”
Harvick oli enda õigsuses kindel. “Sa pead tegema seda, mida sa pead tegema. Kui Gordon oleks mind lihtsalt mööda lasknud, siis oleks ka Stewart tema taha jäänud. Mul ei ole temast põrmugi kahju.”
