He struggled with an ill-handling car from the onset of the 400-lap contest around the .75-mile oval, so much so that he went a lap down on lap 76. Stewart stayed in that spot, hovering in the mid-20s, until finally earning the “lucky dog” when a timely caution came out on lap 257 for an accident in turn two. As the first car one … Read entire article »
