WHAT A CHASE!
A few weeks ago I may have commented on the particularly disjointed nature of the pre-Chase regular season. No one driver looking strong enough to dominate, but many in with a shot.
I might have been wrong...
Tony Stewart and his crew dominated their way to the title. They did not have it easy, nor did they make it easy for themselves but in the end Stewarts take-no-prisoners driving at Homestead earned them the title.
It may also go down as one of the greatest drives ever.
With the level of competition that high, and with the cars evenly matched, the 14 car literally took on all-comers and walked away the winner.
He overtook 118 cars...
Two, three, and four wide passes...
Had to win the race...
Race won...
Championship won!
First owner/driver Champion since Alan Kulwicki.
The great thing about this years Chase was that it came down to two drivers, one-on-one for the race win. Not a maths equasion of "if he finishes here then I can be there" but a straight battle to the chequered flag. That alone is good, that it was also for the title made it great.
Carl Edwards did more than keep Steward honest, it was his title until the last race, but ultimately he could not stop the unstoppable and unthinkable.Congratulations to Tony Stewart and Stewart Haas Racing...
2012 NASCAR SPRINT CUP CHAMPIONS!
I said you would only need the edge of your seat...
