Tony Stewart mounts up for his final ride at Texas Motor Speedway, where he has two victories and good reason to forget his previous race.
Last fall, Stewart was winding down a difficult season when he arrived at the Fort Worth track. He would leave early.
When he takes the track on Friday for practice and evening qualifying, Stewart will have put memories of last fall deep in the past. He has more important matters.
This is what led to Stewart finishing 42nd last fall. Remember, he didn't race at Texas this spring as he recovered from a broken back.
