Really now, was there any more fitting way for Tony Stewart to claim his first win as owner-driver in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series?

After crashing in Saturday practice, Stewart started a backup No. 14 Office Depot Chevrolet last in the 43-car field and had to massage the throttle for the last few laps so as not to run out of fuel — while keeping a hard-charging Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson at bay. … all to earn the Cup Series’ first win for an owner-driver in 11 years.

Sunday’s effort at Pocono, Pa. was the kind of driving mastery, grit and determination that proves why the masterful, gritty, determined Stewart is the best true, all-around talent of NASCAR’s new generation of racers.
