Tony Stewart wants to win. In fact, he musto win.
Michigan seems as good a place as anywhere. So Sunday is a golden opportunity, as Stewart has his best starting position of the season. He starts third in the FireKeepers Casino 400, which begins about 1:30 p.m. ET at Michigan International Speedway.
Each week since returning from a broken back, Stewart showed slow, steady improvement. Last week, he started sixth at Pocono, only to see his day end in a crash. Considering his injury, that was reason for concern.
No problem, Stewart said after Friday's qualifying.
