Speed king Tony Stewart accelerated his mic during the Ford 400 Sunday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway. With this, he added another championship trophy in his career graph.

He was already predicting of this win almost a week ahead. For winning the competition, he pushed Carl Edwards and won the closest title race in NASCAR.

Now Stewart is standing at par with Edwards in close tie as Edwards, who finished second on Sunday and already has 2,403 points in his pocket.

It is Stewart’s third NASCAR championship win. This makes him equal to Cale Yarborough, Darrell Waltrip, Lee Petty and David Pearson, who also won NASCAR three times.

By winning NASCAR with a thrilling close tie, Stewart also became the first champion to win the season finale in last 13 years. He is also the first ever driver to win a title in NASCAR’s premier after Alan Kulwicki did it far back in 1992.
