beanboy89 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) -- Tony Stewart was smooth and steady for an entire race. An entire season. An entire championship run.Stewart cruised to his second NASCAR championship in four years Sunday, capping an uncharacteristically calm season for the former Bad Boy. He won races, kept his temper in check and avoided every major incident long enough to cement himself as one of the greatest drivers of his time. Needing only to run a clean race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, he hovered just outside the top 10 and away from any potential danger. He ended up 15th, winning the title by 35 points over Greg Biffle, who won the race for the second consecutive year by besting teammate Mark Martin in a door-to-door finish. Stewart became just the 14th driver in NASCAR history with more than one championship and joined four-time winner Jeff Gordon as the only active drivers with multiple titles. http://www.nascar.com/2005/news/headlines/...d.ap/index.html Point Standings: After: Ford 400 Rank Driver Behind 1. -- Tony Stewart Leader 2. +2 Greg Biffle -35 3. -- Carl Edwards -35 4. +1 Mark Martin -105 5. -3 Jimmie Johnson -127 6. -- Ryan Newman -174 7. -- Matt Kenseth -181 8. -- Rusty Wallace -393 9. +1 Jeremy Mayfield -460 10. -1 Kurt Busch -559 http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2005/data/...unofficial.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stncttr908 Veteran Posted November 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2005 It was over as soon as Jimmie hit the wall. I guess we couldn't expect another finish like last year's eight point margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
