Stewart races to win as season winds down

He praised a conservative approach, admitting he targeted victory but ran out of laps. Contenders like Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon lost ground in the standings while Stewart, confident and relaxed, eyes the final five races. Kenseth said Stewart is the man to beat if no mechanical issues arise.
