One race to spoil them all. That’s the summary of Stewarts season. All the hard work lost, the Championship gone all for a strange sequence of decisions by NASCAR.
Wrong. Unfortunately for Tony and Friends that just isn’t the case. While at the time the points would have shaken out quite differently, it wouldn’t be enough to give Tony the Title had things went the other way. Ending the season in the hole 481 points, last I checked the max point difference between 1st and 43rd was almost 500 points.
That is not a discredit to the season ran by the #20 team. They had a really good season, racking up 3 wins, 11 Top-5’s and 23 Top-10’s. That’s damn good in anybody’s book.
Moving into 2008, he was the opposing side in the Kurt Busch Bash during final practice for the Bud Shootout. Moving past that, 2008 is going to be challenging. OK, after the way Tony ran in the shootout, there shouldn’t be a doubt that Toyota will get some wins this season. Combined with Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, and dare I say, “How ’bout them MWR Boys?” If only one thing has been learned thus far from Speedweeks, it’s that Toyota isn’t screwing around.
