Stewart, again
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Tony Stewart won for the fifth time in seven races with a dominant performance Sunday at Watkins Glen International that padded his lead in the Nextel Cup standings.
But there was an anxious moment at the end after a late caution forced two extra laps.
Stewart radioed in that he had an alternator problem, forcing him to shut off some systems and switch to a backup battery. Still, he drove away from Robby Gordon on the restart and was in no danger of being caught.
The 24th victory of the Indiana driver’s career came a week after he won for the first time at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The first-place finish here gave Stewart a 105-point lead over Jimmie Johnson, who finished fifth.
Stewart won the $4.6 million Sirius Satellite Radio at The Glen for the second year in a row. It was the fifth road-course win for Stewart in five years.
It was his third career win on this 2.45-mile track known as New York’s Thunder Road.
In the race, his Chevrolet led 83 of 92 laps and beat the Chevy of Robby Gordon by 1.927 seconds on the 11-turn track.
