4th place – Tony Stewart (117 points behind)
DAVID POOLE
The Charlotte Observer
Sunday, Sep. 30, 2007
As it turned out, the driver who most needed the rain that swept through just after halfway to hang around a little longer was Tony Stewart.
Had the race not resumed, daring pit strategy would have resulted in a race victory and a comfortable lead in the standings for the No. 20 team.
But Stewart got damage to his car in a wreck on the first lap after the race resumed, and that led to a blown tire and a wreck on Lap 176 that ended Stewart’s day and put him 39th in the finishing order.
