Tony Stewart has won 16 races at Daytona. Six nationwide races four of which are in a row, three of the July 400 classic, two IROC races here, three Budwesier shootouts, and two Gatorade duels.
But Stewart has yet to sang the big trophy. With this new style of drafting Stewart feels he has it figured out.
Stewart finished second in the Daytona 500 in 2004 getting passed by Dale Earnahdrt Jr late in the race.
Stewart finished thrid in the Daytona 500 in 2008 after getting passed for the win by Ryan Newman and Kurt Busch on the last lap.
Stewart addimtted that he played it too safe that day.
But in his 13th try Stewart is going for all the marbles. He has learned from his near wins and missed opportunites.
Expect Stewart to get hooked up with someone like Ryan Newman and make his way to the front.
He put himself in the right postion to win yesterday's race and he will today.
After 13 tries Tony Stewart will finally be a Daytona 500 Champion.
