DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Tony Stewart has won at Daytona
International Speedway after contact with Kyle Busch sent Busch
hard into the wall right before the finish line.

Busch passed Stewart for the lead right before they began the
final lap Saturday night, but the Sprint Cup Series points leader
chased Busch down and closed in on his bumper. Slight contact sent
Busch drifting up the track, but he slid back down to maintain as
his lead.

As he tried to block Stewart's passing attempt, Stewart hooked
the left bumper to send Busch sailing into the wall. It triggered a
multiple car crash behind them, but Stewart sailed through for the
win.

It was Stewart's second win in his first season as owner of his
own team.
