NASCAR At Texas Motor Speedway: Tony Stewart Holds Off Carl Edwards To Cut Chase Lead

Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards are the top two championship contenders, and they proved that by battling for the win Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway.

Stewart, though, came out on top.

While Edwards had the points advantage coming into the afternoon, Stewart had momentum on his side – and showed it by driving to a statement win in Texas.

Stewart dominated Sunday’s event, the eighth race of the 2011 Chase for the Sprint Cup, leading a race-high 173 of the 334 laps. Edwards put up a tough fight to finish in the second position, but was not able to top Stewart’s strong showing.

Matt Kenseth also had a good day, leading 87 laps, leading to questions of what could have been if not for last week’s run in with Brian Vickers at Martinsville.
