Tony Stewart ended his string of races without a victory as he dominated the field at the Chicagoland Speedway to notch his 30 career Nextel Cup Victory. On one of NASCARS cookie cutter 1.5 mile ovals, Stewart had the car to beat all day. The only other car that could have given him a fight was Jimmie Johnson and he had the misfortune of cutting a tire late in the race and hitting the wall a ton to end a good run for the Lowes racing team. Dale Jr. had a good run going until he lost his power steering late in the event which probably cost him a top five finish.
If NASCAR wants to make the racing a little more interesting I wish they would start by racing on some different types of racetracks. All you kept hearing yesterday was track position and clean air and if you didn't have either than you were never going to pass anybody. Instead of these run of the mill tracks why not race on a modified oval, like the one they ran on in Nazareth, PA. It had one straight and a dogleg turn, something challenging within the track to make the drivers race and not follow each other. It gets to the point were you don't remember what track your looking at. Was that Chicago or Kansas? Charlotte or Texas? Booooooooooooooooooooooring! Anyway, congrats to The Home Depot team and Tony Stewart for a long awaited win and now a week off and then off to Indy were the racing may be a little better.
