Tony Stewart Biography
Congratulations to the 2011 Sprint Cup Champion!
After a slow start, in 2005, that saw him in 10th place following the Pocono in June with only 6 top-ten finishes and 8 finishes in 15th or worse, Tony Stewart went on an amazing tear that earned him his second Nextel Cup championship. At one point during his charge, he won 5 of 7 races and ended the year with 19 top-nine finishes in his last 22 races.
In 2008, Tony had one win, ten top five and 16 top ten finishes on his way to qualifying for the Race for the Sprint Cup. He ultimately finished 9th. In the 2009 Chase, he improved to sixth place.

His year was highlighted by 5 victories, 9 top fives and 19 top tens.
