Stewart is third in the Nextel Cup after his run of success
|
Tony Stewart won Sunday's New England 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway to take his third victory in four Nascar Nextel Cup races.
Stewart dominated the race after moving from fourth to second on lap 68 and then taking the lead half a lap later.
He held off a late challenge from Kurt Busch, who passed him with 60 laps to go, only to fall back after the two cars rubbed bodywork five laps later.
Busch was second, Bobby Labote third and points leader Jimmie Johnson 13th.
