Why he matters
Martinsville was his third win in seven Chase races.
What he says
“To be right in the middle of this thing with three weeks to go, it is obviously a great feeling.”
What the numbers say
Stewart is now just 8 points behind Carl Edwards, the Chase leader.
Quote of note
“When I was inside of Tony, I went down in the corner and thought that eight tires would be a lot better than four. I changed my mind. I don’t run over people to get positions.” — Martinsville runner-up Jimmie Johnson, on why he chose not to pull a bump-and-run pass on Tony Stewart.
